see, unlike other skirts, this one is so long that I wear it just under my breasts and then wear a top over that
so unlike a skirt I would wear around my hips, you can't quite do the same thing of having it sit below the tail (likely with a snap over the tail)
and in this case, I was imagining a much bigger bushier skunk tail, so while Chimmy or Ada could probably just let their tails remain under it, that is more problematic for Jaycie
my conclusion is to have a slit in the skirt that starts around the hip level, and then a very similar button or strap to fasten below the tail, rather than above it as would probably be more common on bottoms around the waist
it would be ideal if the slit can be fastened or zipped all the way down, but then you get into problems of the effort to do that versus the reward of having fabric for the glutes to sit on
so I imagine that it would just be enough fastening to have a seat and a bit more
you wouldn't want to leave the slit open because then your ass would essentially be uncovered
you could have a hole to thread a tail through, but that becomes prohibitively tricky for big furry tails like we're imagining*
even though it would probably be fine for smaller tails, if tails are too big, no slit means a good chance it'll just completely hike the skirt up around the tail so you basically get the open slit and a bunch of bunched up fabric right on your tail
* a hole might be ok for like a lizard tail, but in either case, holes would likely need a way to be closed tighter assuming they aren't perfectly tailored (😏) to you tail
of course I'm completely ignoring the quills question for the top
even if you could get a shirt over them and they were long enough to extend past it, it pushing them down against you doesn't seem like it would be comfortable for any reasonable period of time
perhaps a quills friendly top would basically just be backless, with a tie at the bottom, but then that's a problem for cold
though with fur, perhaps cold just isn't as bad
Dressmaker but you have to figure out how to make it work on furry bodies would be a fascinating version of that lol
it's only a vague sense of financial restraint that has kept me from going absolute sicko mode over dressmaker
like I still want to do it in real life but lol at me actually being able to use my sewing machine any time soon
🐆: or we could just be nude animal people
🐀: no.
ok going to sleep because I'm an old lady I guess
I'm sure I'll end up waking in the middle of the night
