Most people chuckle and drop the subject. Quilters generally say, "I'm going to have to start using that!"

When it's warm enough I sew (and wander around the house all day) in my panties and a tank top.
Saves on laundry, air conditioning, shoulder pain from bra straps, de-threading, and accessorizing.
It can be awkward if somebody surprises me by coming down the drive to the end of the lane though!

Most times I sew in sweats or shorts/t-shirt depending on time of year. If I'm planning on doing major sewing - which obviously includes ironing/pressing, I wait to shower/'dress' after that because I'm a sweaty mess after major sewing. Ergo, the clothing is irrelevant. If I'm just doing some 'quick & dirty' sewing with a bit of pressing/ironing, I'll go out with threads attached if not noticed. So far, no one has felt compelled to comment on any of my 'accessories'. But I'd go for the over-large man's shirt if you're concerned.
