I did a bit of washing..and..

Elegran, that reminds me of my Mother who always told us to make sure we had decent knickers on in case we ended up in A&E!

Could it become a Thermal Cardigan, worn as a cosy layer under something less decrepit that looks good but has no warming power? You'd have to be careful not to acquire any accidental injuries that would mean you had to undress in A & E

If it's cotton you could use it as a duster? A good recycle. Buy yourself a cheerful new one

I sorted out the airing cupboard yesterday, and came across (I knew it was there) the top I wore when we set off on our honeymoon.

Only 54 years ago!

I thought I was the bees knees in it. It’s a bright red velvet empire line blouse, short sleeves, button down front.

It was cheap and cheerful.

Why am I keeping it?

🤷‍♀️

I have removed it from the airing cupboard and hung it in the corner of my wardrobe.

(I won’t be answering the door in it, it still fits but looks rather daft somehow).

It's cotton.

Get some Dylon machine dye and brighten it up

= fave cardigan great colour. 🙂

From what the OP describes you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
I’m baffled as to why you would keep an item of clothing that your too ashamed for the general public to see.
Unless of course your a person who would keep it for sentimental reasons.

I'm with Fallingstar on this one. I have an ancient crocheted wool jumper that i wear around the house and wouldn't mind answering the door to anyone in it.

Remember the saying, 'Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.'

Do you have something you wouldn't open the door in ?!

Plenty.

But I can get away with it where we live.
Well, most of the time!

I have old bobbly cardis and jumpers I put on over my PJs rather than a dressing gown or to wear whilst doing housework. I have answered the door wearing them and nobody has bolted for the hills.

I’m rather wasteful and get bored of using the same things. But, for slopping around the house, an old cardigan is just as good as any. But……..draw the blinds and curtains and don’t answer the door to anyone 😂

I don't think so. Do you feel good in it, not just comfy but feel good. If not I would find something you do feel good in.
