Secretary dresses
Jump to Comments
That’s how I’ve heard these vintage dresses described. You know the ones — long and long-sleeved, often printed with some Aunt-Hazel print.
With a little hemming and a little layering they become perfectly wearable.
Come to think of it, I have a secretary dress in just about every colour.
Maybe I should change careers.
P.S. Add the Anthology on Facebook.

Haha that’s funny, I just put up a post on sewing :)
Great job K! I love the hemming that you did. Plus that’s such an awesome colour for spring :)

Danielle — it’s so vibrant, isn’t it? Like a tropical flower. Sigh… can’t wait for the sun.
VancityAllie — Sweet! Will have to check out your post. Wish I could take credit for the hemming, but alas, I don’t even do it myself. My tailor is my best friend!

You are sew talented; if I ever fall in love, wedding dress? :)
Dear Kelsey, I was touched by your comment, if you did something amazing then or much later, I love that you felt that.
Peace, x

P.S. just reread, call your best friend if I wed.
