How little is it OK to wear when answering the door?

Savvy_Sue

Just wondering if I should be mortified ...

Heard a quiet knock at the door earlier, and as it was very hot I was sitting at the computer wearing not much more than a skirt. So I heaved it up over my bosoms (thank goodness for elasticated waistbands!) and answered the door.

Probably wouldn't have cared if it had been a complete stranger, but it was a local youngster, returning something I'd lent to the family, and asking if our internet was OK as theirs was on the blink and they needed to check something online.



How mortified should I have been? Youngster didn't bat an eyelid and returned later with rest of family, maybe they didn't notice?

They probably didn't notice. Kids can be pretty oblivious to that sort of thing. So long as all your vital bits were covered I really wouldn't worry about it!

Have you seen how little some people are wearing in public in this heat??? You were practically in a burka compared to some of the states I've seen!

I used to do the same with long hippy skirts.
I'll vote for the last option as it would probably just look like a dress!

Reminds of my BIL answering the door wearing just a thong! Exhibitionist!

I thought that the last option was to open the door starkers!

We used to live in a very isolated house which was mainly made of glass. It had a long drive with a post box. And a sign saying no callers without appointment. We rarely wore many clothes. The delivery men coming on days we dipdn't expect them knew us far too well.

My Postie is used to me.... he mostly sees me in my short silky type dressing gown pulled together tightly with a belt so he cant see my bra and pants. The other day he caught me with just a t shirt on... Ok the t shirt is almost down to my knees but my legs aren't my best of features.:(

On a Saturday he comes early and drags me out of bed... he gets my bed hair too.:rotfl:

Did you learn nothing from Cherie Blair's answering the door when you're not dressed for it faux pas?:D

Whilst breastfeeding I once answered the door with one boob fully out, the worst thing is I didn't realise til I got back in the house, I wondered why the postie was bright red and practically threw the parcel at me!

The difference is, i'm not about to make front headline news. I might get talked about at the sorting office but I can live with that.:D

My postie has a knack of ringing the doorbell when DD and I are in the shower. She's very used to me opening the door in a towel, covered in bubbles and dripping wet with my eyes squeezed shut. I'm not sure if her eyes are too!!
