I smoothed my hands over

Non-PRO English to French Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Bonjour,

“Whoa,” I said, unable to take my eyes off myself.
Her clothes fit perfectly, and I imagined myself being her.
I smoothed my hands over her soft shirt.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Je lissai de mes mains son doux chemisier

C'est le chemisier qui est doux...Quant au geste, c'est celui que l'on fait sur un vêtement pour qu'il tombe parfaitement bien ou si c'est déjà le cas en geste appréciatif (the final touch)...on en retire les derniers plis.
