The House Dress

My latest retro girl Gift tag set is a little tribute to the simple
Housedress - pretty but never precious!
Woman of past generations were used to wearing these light, comfortable dresses when doing their daily house chores, my Grandmother still has a wardrobe full of them!


A cool Housedress would be perfect for dull sticky days like today!

  2. I remember my Mum and grandmother having house dresses...we seem to have lost a bit of their practicality over the years haven't we..bring it back so we can be comfy again!

  3. You know there is a German version of these. They were called: Kuechenschuerze (translates into kitchen apron). It was like an aprondress. My mother wore them in the 70s. Now I wish I had saved one! It would be cool to wear in the summers here.
    Great picture and post! Love your labels, too!
