morning (not to be confused with mourning), or house dresses, were common articles of daytime attire for doing housework and chores. as time marches on, technology allows us to achieve tasks with little effort and minimal soiling, thus contributing to the extinction of activity specific clothing. gone are the house dresses of yesteryear, with play clothing following a similar fate. i'd like to pay homage to these humble frocks that played a unique role in history yet aren't photographed or appreciated quite enough:
pink and green plaid cotton dress
this homemade creation is by no means a masterpiece in construction, but the print is astounding
pink floral cotton dress: love, love, love the overlapping petals and double collar
incredible deco cretonne dress with zigzag dropped waist
this clever design gives the illusion of a dress with apron
"the national" money-saving style book, spring & summer 1921
