Hi there
Reading the thread on leggings and summer dresses inspired me to start this thread.
I have really bad varicose veins on my one leg which means I am really limited to what I can wear on a hot day. The veins are below the knee so that only trousers or totally full lenght dresses would cover.
I think the comment from a poster who said that leggings with a dress hints that someone is ashamed of their legs, well yes I am!
I have a good figure and am slim but there is no way I could ever ever reveal my legs in public. Holiday abroad is fine as I have no choice and no one knows me, but walking around the shops streets at home no way!
I have had surgery twice which has improved them slightly as in they don't stick out but are stilll very visible.
I wear dresses and tights and that's is fine(thick ones) and occasionally leggings and shorter dresses but never bare legged.
To make matters worse my one foot has millions of broken veins so even shorter trousers are not an option!
Is there anyone else afflicted like me? If not, what do you think seeing a woman in trousers during a heatwave? I feel like a granny.
