linen dress

I was reading a blog called Remodilsta and they did a piece on house dresses.  Dresses to wear at home instead of living in pajamas or nightgowns.  Dresses that you could wear out on an errand.  I remembered that I had looked at some similar on a Japanese clothes site. 

This is very similar to one of the Japanese dresses I had looked at in the past.  I did not put the pockets in it that the pictures show that the dress I could have bought had.  I also did not make a undershift or a petticoat.  I am not sure which it was.  I still might.  The buttons down the back means I would not be able to wear it at all currently.  My shoulders still do not stretch that much with out a great amount of pain.  I could have gathered it less by cutting a smaller skirt but I did not.

The thing I like about this dress is how soft the linen is.  Since I am not feeling well, having something soft to wear that still looks fairly nice.  A dress that is comfortable when you are still at work but wish to be home in bed.  I might have to buy more of this linen.  I am finding my favorite dresses are linen and wool.  Who would have thought?
