Ladies Vintage Housedress: Advance 5371
Hello, housedress! Your rickrack looks mighty fine. I think I'll sew you.
You make me want to fluff up the couch cushions!
I love your *real organdy* collar. Oh, it's from Denver Fabrics? Very nice! And that charming print--red with anything is my favorite combination!
You match my geranium. And your wrap styling makes for a perfect fit. I love you!

Anna, I love your housedress! I wish I could find a pattern for myself of a housedress. I've tried, but can't seem to be able to find one, or rather bid on one and win :(
Love your fabric selections also!
Gorgeous. Almost too pretty to save for wearing only around the house.
Beautiful, reminds me of my lovely mother in the 50's.
Beautiful, Anna!
How pretty and fresh!!

I love it!

What a beautiful dress!
I found my way here from the Sense and Sensibility forums (I'm Daybreak) and after spending *far* too much time reading your blog over the last few days, I want to move in with you! It all sounds so idyllic. You've also half convinced me to homeschool the children I don't have (yet)!
I think the geranium might be a wee jealous of that beautiful finery. :) Too cute for words.
That dress just looks absolutely perfect. And I don't know about 'house' dress. I think that should be seen by the outside world! It's beautiful. I love the wrap style.
You always make me want to get the sewing machine out! Very pretty dress...Looks like June Cleaver, but I guess that's the looks you are going for. If I had the figure I'd wear it in a minute!
I always enjoy reading your blog & seeing all of your projects.
Thanks for sharing.
Adorable!
Your hair is very cute too!
Happy Easter!
Wonderful! Love the red rick-rack. Your light-heartedness in this & the last post were quite refreshing. Congrats on being an auntie again. So glad Clara could loan her services, all moms need a girl like her.
Blessings for Easter,
Leslie
What a great dress...and so flattering on you!
Gasp! Look at the measurements on that size "18" pattern! That means I would have been a 12 in about fifth grade... that is too sad to even think about. Diet starts now.
Have been wanting to tell you for ages that I love your photography. Your photos are so full of natural light. How DO you do that?? (I'm sure some windows would help.) Would love a post on how to take great pics, unless you have already done that, in which case I would really appreciate the url.
Thank you!

Dear Anna,
I'm sitting here in my pretty "going out/socializing" (3/4sleeves)Mennonite dress... We went to church the last two Sundays. And I wore "going to Church dresses" (long-sleeves).
Both the church-going and feminine, modest Christian dresses are because of your influence in my life...
Bless you, real good.

That is just GORGEOUS!!!!
STUNNING! Where will you where it? I'd wear it church, so cute.
