To go commando?

[Auldspinster]

I'm wearing a dress without tights today and my pants are making a constant break for freedom.

Wibu to ditch them as the dress is pretty long and barring a sudden hurricane i'm unlikely to flash anyone?

If the pants should happen to fall down just elegantly step out of them and carry on about your business as if they have nothing to do with you.

I'm at work just now but am having a drink with a gentleman friend afterwards.

Would that be your grandson? As he is a gentleman he will not notice.

*Great nephew, of course, since you are spinster.

Your bum, your business!

(Just steer clear of any vents, esp if your dress is iconic white!!)

Nip out and buy some smaller pants?

Strangely i think my gentleman friend might like if i lost the pants.

So now we have a knickerless troll? watch my post disappear now

I don't think MN in the middle of the day is going to give you the thrilling responses you crave OP.
As you can see from your slow moving AIBU - nobody cares what you do really. I doubt your 'friend' does either.

Hi all. Just to clarify, Auldspinster is an MNer who has been with us a good while. We can't comment on the state of her undercracker elastic but we don't think that she is a troll.

In that case, go for it OP

"we don't think that she is a troll"

I see, well, that's fair enough. You can't be too careful these days, I always say.

It all depends on the fit of the dress (will it be obvious that you have gone commando, remember material can look opaque indoors and can look totally different in daylight or under certain lights)

Also if you have to bend over to get something or sit across from somebody, will there be enough material to not flash them..?

Longer/looser dress without pants is fine!

Can you just buy a pair of tights?

Just imagine, if you had an accident? The shame of arriving at hospital with no pants. OMG.

Hopefully the medical team will be far too concerned with any injuries than a well ventilated undercarriage

Um just buy some pants that actually fit?

Loose, below the knee black dress and a mumsnet old hand.

I've kept them on so far. Work in the arse end of noowhere or i probably would have grabbed some more snug undercrackers.

Just do it. Life's too short - who gives a fuck. Even on the the off chance that someone will see your minge other your gentleman friend, you'll live

i did have the dubious pleasure of having to go to A&E after a period flood wearing hideous leopard print tanga pants that my mum had bought me years before - not my finest moment.

i would - i sympathise - the no VPL pants that are great under trousers/leggings are especially prone to the downward roll! I nearly lost mine on the way to drop the DC off to nursery this morning (unexected hot weather here caused precipitate leggings abandonment and poor pant selection)

Put a safety pin in your knicker elastic. To go commando could outrage public decency, and it also increases your chance of being run over by a bus and rushed to hospital.

I normally wear tights or trousers so i didn't know the breeks would attempt to break for freedom. I have no waist to speak of and they're hipsters so there's nothing for them to grip. Lesson learned for the future.
