Subnostr

After nearly a month of wearing nothing but dresses, I’ve come to the following conclusions:

1. Someone has got to start making and selling a better concealed carry thigh holster.

Everything I’ve tried has either been very painful (constriction, scratching, chafing, blisters) or slid down enough to become visible or even threaten to fall off 😱

These things are too expensive to keep “trying” and failing…

2. I may have to not only learn to sew, but learn to sew weird materials like stretch fabrics and Velcro just to be able to carry in a dress or skirt.

Sewing is expensive and intimidating to start and I’m not thrilled about jumping into the deep end as a rush job, even though I do want to learn to sew someday.

3. A truly open carry-friendly culture would be SO much better, especially for pregnant women.

The problem seems to be that most woman’s clothing is designed to display hips, belly, waist, cleavage, small of your back, in some cases pudendum. What’s a girl to do? I appendix carry, I suppose double NA Arms or Bond Arms in a panty waist position would be inconspicuous if double bulges were present? There is always the safety aspect with appendix carry though. Breach the femoral artery and you have 30 seconds to live.

I actually found a solution I’m planning to make a post about very soon! It allowed me to carry comfortably in late pregnancy and will allow me to keep wearing dresses and skirts afterwards.

So when it comes to skirts and dresses, most of the fashion incompatibility you mentioned would be solved by wearing flowy skirts / dresses with a flowy skirt and a thigh holster underneath. As long as possible and flowy below the waist happens to be my style in skirts and dresses anyway. It’s just the thigh holsters I was finding were inadequate.

Stay tuned for what I ended up doing!
