blew her top/wig, she lost it, flipped the lid, etc Explanation: Думаю, что одежда здесь вовсе не причем, а "сарафан создануло" надо пониммать в переносном смысле. Что-то вроде "крыша поехала", женщина пошла не туда и заблудилась. Так что нужно разговорное выражение типа blow one's top. Тут носителям английского лучше знать, какой эквивалент выбрать. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2008-09-19 21:24:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Перечла текст еще несколько раз. Может и правда тут сарафан вздернуло или надуло ветром. |
