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?
