I enjoy wearing dresses instead of skirts and tops. I always figure that the outfit matches and I only need find the right earrings, hair accessory and shoes. Beautiful pictures.

They do pose the problem of confusion with buying a garment to match, then it turn out to being the wrong shade. I wore dresses only until babies so I could nurse easily, when I went to skirts and blouses. That was over thirty years ago.

Unless separates are bought specifically to match and only worn as one u it, not mix and match, they present a problem.

It will also reveal how long wrinkles will stay. And if you already have some cotton at is just too stiff, put it through all washing machine cycles (wash, rinse, spin, a couple of times. It then becomes "laundered cotton".

They're either on the "too tight" side so that they can actually stay on my feet, or "too loose" and end up flopping around. I've given up on them, and love wearing Mary Jane styles instead. Very comfy.

I sew too but have not tried this style. Do you find the cotton fabric rather stiff at all? The cottons I find for inexpensive prices in the quilting section all turn out a bit stiff for my dresses. I do really like the colors and patternsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17732192881694267496noreply@blogger.com
