Skirt

[magid]

In October, I finally found a new long 'good' skirt for Shabbat and such. It was black, lined, microsuede, and looked pretty. I've been low on skirts for a while; it's been hard finding ones I like this year. So. I didn't change after Shabbat the week I was going to a community theater production, and ended up sitting on a chair full of glue (How, I don't know. It was just there in the row with the rest.). I've had it dry cleaned, and while most of the glue (or whatever it was) is out, there's still the pattern of the chair slats remaining, and that can't be gotten out without stripping the fabric. So. New skirt ruined. I have the email of the producer, but I'm debating whether to bother to get reimbursed; community theater doesn't have money floating around, so I suspect it's easier for me to absorb the cost than them. And it's not the money, but the skirt I want. Of course, that skirt isn't being sold any more (it was at their outlet store as it was; I checked online, and it's not there). So I'm debating what to do.

(Total tangent: seeing it as jjill(.com) rather than J. Jill emphasizes how easy it is to write the name so it has point symmetry.)

I sat on a piece of gum once at a restaurant, while wearing a new pair of jeans. If you had changed your skirt, the glue wouldn't have been there.

Maybe check ebay?

I can't think of any good ideas.

I'd even thought of switching chairs, so I'd have a padded one, but the one nearby had a bag and coat on it, so I assumed it was being saved for someone. Turned out it was for the bag and coat.

I hear that if you freeze gum, it'll come off. I haven't tried it, though.

The friend I was shopping with that day bought the same skirt, but I can't bring myself to burgle her wardrobe in favor of mine :-).
