A Terry Cloth Dress?
When I was pajama shopping at Lake I saw their ”lounge wear” and fell in love with this dress as a bathing suit coverup. They show it being worn as a dress, out and about. Would you wear a terry dress out? I haven’t ordered it yet because I am still looking for a bathing suit to wear under it. When I saw this picture I thought I might actually wear it as a dress. The style is a bit much to wear in town doing errands, but the fabric is so extreme casual I can’t think where I would wear it… not to church, or out at night. Maybe to a backyard barbecue at a friend’s, but the style doesn’t seem right for that. Where would you wear something like this? I’ve owned similar dresses in navy and white in a cotton pique that I wore anywhere and everywhere, including weddings. They also have this in fuschia AND both colors in super cute shorts sets.

Comments (3)Simplicity and McCall's used to carry patterns for cloth dolls, as well as separate clothing pieces. Best bet is to check their 'big' catalogs. Wal-Mart and JoAnn's have the catalogs. Both pattern companies have websites, but doubt that they'd show everything they carry on-line. Good luck....See MoreAm I a Crazy Curmudgeon? Kids and Dress Clothes
Comments (11)I know how you feel! Fortunately my kids don't need formal wear often, but I had the hardest time outfitting my son for the few Bar Mitzvahs he attended when he was 13. At the time, I was fortunate that I was able to find almost everything at Old Navy (online -- I just end up ordering a few sizes and then returning what doesn't fit to the store). I still get his black dress pants and white shirts for school band concerts at Old Navy. I'm not investing a lot of money in dress clothes until he stops growing! I think he's almost there, at age 18 and 6'2". Now we're coming up against the same thing with DD, who is 12 and starting to get the Bat Mitzvah invites from classmates at school (we are not Jewish, but we seem to be invited to far more Jewish events than Christian events!). Fortunately, we knew about one that is coming up this weekend all the way back in the spring, so over the summer I bought her two dresses. Both are pretty blue lace dresses, one short sleeved and one 3/4 sleeved, just above knee length. We kept them both because we know she'll be invited to at least a few of these events. One dress was from Boden (kids) catalog and one was from Lands End, believe it or not. One problem we will have is that I think DD is going to top out at 5' tall and she's very slim, too, so she's going to wearing little-kid sizes for a long time yet. I am so glad she's not into the trashy look. She mostly wears skinny jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies. I see what some tweens are wearing around town and cringe. Hello, aren't the mothers still in charge of what clothes girls can buy when they're 12? Okay, my rant is over....See MoreClothes hanger with attached dressing mirror?
