One day, some time ago, I found myself in London, on a rather hot day, failing to find the shop I was looking for. I popped into a second-hand shop, for a little respite. And stumbled upon this unusual item that seemed like a cross between a playsuit and a jumpsuit. An item I would not normally wear. But the print of the fabric called to me. And the prospect of expanding my warm weather wardrobe seemed like a rather urgent one. I tried to try it on, but failed. The waistband, that looks like it's shirred, is actually not stretchy at all. The width of the item seemed to fit me, but I couldn't get into it to check. I figured I just needed to put in a zip, and bought it.
