Under some circumstances, it is acceptable to flee the office and work from home in the afternoon. Wardrobe malfunction is one of those circumstances. I have said many times that I am not a morning person.

One time I walked down to the video store in a skirt that had the bottom hem caught up in my underwear. I didn't notice the "air conditioning" until I got home. :/

No one said anything.

NO giving up the vintage dresses! I refuse to accept that as a possiblity!
They need you to wear them out into the world!
If that means a stranger gets to look at your fishnet-clad butt now and then, well, - wait a minute! Don't total strangers look at your fishnet-clad butt most weekends and sometimes on Monday nights? Enough of this silly talk, then.

Those are strangers. These are my co-workers.

That was deliberate. This is a terrible, terrible accident.

I am hoping that I will be able to salvage the dress. I've worn it since I was in high school and I'm dearly attached to it. I would be sad to discover that I have literally worn this garment to death.

hang my head and swear off vintage dresses.

I suspect that is one of those vows that one know one won't keep (almost all hangover vows fall into this category).
