Alison M. Reed sends this wonder in, saying: "I have always loved to dress up and am often the only one at work to wear both skirts and dresses on a regular basis (about 1/2 the time). My favorite period to dress as is a 1930's to 1940's style working woman. Love it. So here is my link. I found this dress while blindly searching for a dress to wear to a wedding and I found this lovely and still affordable dress. Yes I know that I cannot wear it, because it is most certainly white, but I did have visions of flirting about in it on the grass…. and it looks so lovely and delicate. Alas, it is also slightly too small for my frame."

You can't tell from this picture (click through for more) but it's made of dotted swiss. I am a big fan of old-style dotted swiss — the kind that is woven, not printed. So pretty! Right now you can only buy it, at great expense, from places that cater to those folks who make heirloom party dresses for little girls. But really, it's just as nice for grown-ups.

This would be a lovely informal wedding dress (for the bride, not a guest). It's only $100, so if this is your size (B34/W24), check it out.
