So when Vix showed us
I went searching through my wardrobe.
Op shops are not nearly so cheap over here as they seem to be in Vix's neck of the woods
and a five pound outfit seemed impossible...
and then I remembered my fabulous Estate Auction $1 robe
The hair flower was a gift from my darling sister in law
The fab Barry M nailpolish was a gift from Vix
The 1940s pearl clip on earrings were 10 cents
So this outfit cost $1.10
But it is definitely the exception - and it's not even really an outfit as it is another ROBE!
Do you think I could wear it as a dress?
Maybe with a belt and some shoes it might look more like a dress.
(I know... will I ever wear shoes again?)
Thought you'd like to see my delightful paint-splattered-overalls collection
Ruffles and roses
Hills hoist! Weeds! Shed! The glamour!
And look! Lovely Em (Vintage Sweetheart) sent me a parcel of gorgeous fabrics
for my patchwork curtain project - she also included a pretty fabulous item of clothing
(which will feature in a future post). Thank you, Em!
(She's currently fabbing around New York, doncha know!)

If you took it up to knee length it would just look like a quilted wrap dress, definitely a proper outfit! Isn't the print on it glorious xx
Fabulous Darling just sent you an email xxx Oh and I want to knoww what skin products you use your skin is divine xx oh and that could be a dress just like my red house dress could be a dress trouble is we could run into the former owner and they may shout hey that looks just like my old dressing gown I donated lol
Oh, Nelly is so right! The shame!!
How did you have the foresight to have 3 pairs of overalls? Are you secretly a painter'n'decorator?;)
Love the Mr Owl and Sistah combo - are you still unpacking all these delights? x
That's me, that is!! You could so wear that divine wrap as a dress, it's gorgeous, a red patent belt and shoes would work brilliantly. What a bargain, you look astoundingly gorgeous.
Yay to Vintage sweetheart and her generosity. Love,cheapclothes&dungareesxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
I am thinking with Penny on the robe. I would shorten it and add a belt and no one would know it had a former life as a robe. I love it! -T
I say it totally works as a dress - just make sure you wear pants would be my advice. I'm really not sure I could do this challenge, unless barefoot and bottomsless!
You look ready for anything in that fabulous robe. I love the look and feel of your new place, so peaceful and bright! You have the prettiest face in blogger land. You are BEAUTY! Loving all the fabrics too, I sent off some crazy things for you today. Enjoy.
Kisses and big squeezes!!!

Hello I'm new to your blog (I think) I've the WORST memory and so I may have posted to you before and forgotten. I didn't even know that was a robe till you mentioned it! I think it would be lovely as a dress.

Penny Dreadful's idea about knee length is a good one. You are now a barefoot hippy. And Angry Owl made me laugh.
That robe dress pattern is gorgeous. I thought was a dress too, also could wear as a coat with umbrella.

Of course you can wear that beautiful robe as a dress, it's gorgeous, as are YOU!
How many pairs of dungarees do you have? Is that just a part of your collection?? That photo is brilliant!

I think that robe totally works as a dress, with or without shoes. It looks really good on you, and I wouldn't have guessed it was a robe, and not a wrap dress if you hadn't said. Also loving your paint-splattered overalls!
you look amazing. love that dress! sooo pretty! angry owl rocks :)
