Yep, I'm with Denny on this one - give it a go but only if you don't mind ruining it.
And was it by hand the first time, throw it in the washer the second.

I always find women in suits strangely erotic, especially with the frilly shirts...Originally posted by SandyDownI wear suits all the time, only one of my contracts (the one in Holland) was casual wear . If you want the truth I find it easier to wear a suit, its an easy uniform, and for the girls you can dress up a suit to be really smart or semi casual (depending on tops /blouses / accessories used)
