Darla: "Oh. You're right. I do look like a walking café curtain."
Carla: "I hated to be the one to tell you, but someone had to do it."
Darla: "And you know …"
Carla: "That I look like I'm about to call "offsides!" at the World Tea-Drinking Championship? Yep."
Darla: "Our home-ec teacher has a lot to answer for."
Carla: "Don't worry, I already spiked the faculty coffeepot with something that causes unpleasant gastrointestinal effects, yet is non-life-threatening."
Darla: "You rock. Also, cute shoes!"

A Dress A Day 
I always enjoy these, but this one made me laugh out loud. I think its the oops! hand-to-mouth on poor Darla.

Funny! I wish I had your talent for coming up with clever descriptions for some of these rather bizarre outfits.

Poor choice of fabric and trim, but the dress itself has potential. Id maybe do it in burgundy, and lose the ruffle. Nobody needs a ruffle at crotch level. I think Id do a strip of flat bias trim.

I have to agree that no one rivals your creativity when it comes to these little conversations, but I have to respectfully disagree with the lace at crotch level comment…after all, EVERY girl needs a little lace here and THERE…

OMG! I wondered why they had built-in aprons. Are they the kitchen staff in the zeppelin fleet? Oh, and my Moms name was Darla. Ha ha ha. –Karen

LOL. Even though it looks a bit like a walking cafe curtain, it is cute and I would totally wear it.

That was hysterical. You are so accurate in that exchange. Granted you can opt out of the lace and stripes for a better dress on a whole. Love it! Laceyhttp://www.sewingcouture.com/

Ah, home-ec teachers! My home-ec teacher neglected to tell one of my classmates about one way fabric before she started cutting out. At our class fashion show the poor child wore a dress made out of toile with a huge French chateau right-side up on the front, and upside-down on the back. I was appalled.

You did it again. So funny. Love the others comments, too. This is a very strange design. As much as I love aprons, why would one deliberately wear this one?

Gosh, can you imagine what an insulting anniversary gift this would make from a husband to a wife, especially if the apron part was in a contrasting fabric? (But the girl at the store said any wife would LOVE it! / You cant mean Cindy WALLIS? Shes been trying to break us up for YEARS! )

Uh-huh, looks like Darla was already partaking of the coffee pot with that oops expression hand-to-face. A little wind to inflate that apron sail?
