The dress reminds me a of 40s house dress, something to wear while cooking, running errands and going to the grocery store. Today I had a long list of errands and things I needed to to cook, so it only seemed appropriate to wear my house dress.

The shoes are from Crossroads, Born's for only $15! SCORE!
So I don't feel really gorgeous in this dress, it's a little loose. I just feel a little housewifey in it, which is fine it's just not something I wear to impress people. That being said, the response today has been great or weird... i can't decide.
As I walked to my car to go to Winco and the sewing machine repair shop I was checked out by a guy on a bike.
In Winco I overheard a couple having a minor dispute in the baking isle and saw them looking over at me.
The man said to his wife, "I think I'd appreciate that..." and then he said, "That's a pretty dress."
I looked at him and he looked away quickly. The woman rolled her eyes. I pretended not to hear. Then they proceeded to stare at me... I asked if I could do anything for them and the woman said curtly, "No, you may not."
Awkward.
I checked myself over, no weird bunching, or TP hanging off my shoe or hair sticking up - so it must have been the dress, or they were making fun of me... I don't know.
New: Rate the dress, at the top of every post you can weigh in on the outfit. Go ahead and vote on the other four dresses too.

It's cute, but I know you have WAY cuter dresses.
Definitely a keeper. Not an everyday/anything dress, but great for housewife things, as you said. :)

I know, that's what made my grocery store outing so funny. It's a comfy, frumpy house dress and yet I got more attention in this than any other dress so far. I love it!
Keeper for sure!
Men, they like the ladies..that uh, look like ladies.
YOU: May I help you?
Woman #1: No you may not. (rolls eyes.)
Hahahahahahahahah!
You look fab. Not glamourous, but fabulous none-the-less. Like she baked me the best chocolate chip/oatmeal cookies and served it with the best single malt scotch kind of fab.
Yum.
Haha, yeah, I made cookies yesterday. And a killer chicken barley soup, loaf of flax seed bread and I cleaned my house! I'm not a glamorous work-place hottie, I'm the wife the guys would cheat on with their Secretary.
I've just got to say, Melody was definitely a fabulous host to my husband and I last night. It was lovely to be served by a woman wearing this classic look. It's a keeper! Melody made a delicious dinner and dessert for us. Not to mention we got to baby sit the cutest baby boy last night and Melody looked great in her housewife dress with a baby on her lap (making a mess with the barley soup)
That is, the baby was making a mess of the barely soup. Haha, thanks Emily. It was great having you over! I love living by you and your wonderful husband.
Thanks for linking to my etsy site! So sweet. I think the grocery store people were just jealous they couldn't sport such a styly dress.
Ehh, you definitely have cuter dresses. I think I would like it better in blue or green.
