One of my grandsons doesn’t like me to wear an apron. But fashionable? Thank you for taking the time to research this garment and I look forward to seeing your interpretation. I was thinking about my Aunt who always wore house dresses.

I'd really prefer one that closes with a button or snap made of a comfy velour. I can make them in bright colors with wacky trim.

I like the older ones with the cute pockets and such better than the muu muu type as well. Also, my Mom never ever wore pants – always had on a house dress, clean and pressed. I am thrilled to find your blog while searching for housedress sewing patterns. housedresses (http://vavoomvintage.blogspot.com/) and I was surprised. The old dress look great and feel great too! It’s a difficult time but I do believe there are some gifts to be had if we look for them. And nightgowns rather than pajamas. She was not stylish but always so neat and feminine. I am trying to make the switch from wearing jeans 7 days a week to at least wearing a casual house dress 2 or 3 days a week.

I think I might have to track that down. I'd totally wear some of those as casual summer dresses. In the midst of these covid 19 days, I am rethinking and praying over many areas of my life, including dresses as everyday wear.

The idea of the house dress is closely related to the concept of housework and domesticity. I cringe AND laugh as I say this. Thanks for a great post. Housedresses also an excellent excuse to use adorable quilting cottons that wouldn't necessarily work for anything else. Blessed day. Vintage 1950s house dresses are still easy to buy today but not … It’s what I feel comfortable wearing.
I do not see the charm in these little "frocks" as I associate the housedress with hard work. I like wearing pretty colored dresses around the house in summer. I've never felt the house dress love. Literally. I agree dresses n skirts are cooler. She used Downy fabric softener and often hung her wash on a clothesline so they smelled wonderful. It’s happened to me in the past couple of years but I’m ready to up my game a bit. I've never post here but today I felt obligued. I actually do prefer wearing skirts or dresses and find them cooler and more comfortable than pants. I did some research while writing this post and found several really interesting links. In later years house dresses had a zipper for ease of use. I enjoy feeling more feminine, and as a larger sized lady I certainly feel more presentable in a skirt!

Great post, Gertie! There was an entire room of house dresses, there were so many of them. Hi Dee, I came over from Terri’s How much more fun would it be to throw on a little shirtdress or wrap dress on the weekend, instead of sweats and a tank top? Fair skin, blue eyes, blonde hair…these traits do often coincide with allergies. I dress and put makeup on everyday, I wear slacks and pretty tops most of the time, occasional dresses in summer ,,they are much cooler. ©2020 Great Life Publishing and GreaterGood.

I’m due for another “day in the life – 50’s style”, too, so be sure to watch for that. I have very sensitive skin and thought I was just about the only person in the world who had this problem with hives! As far as I’m concerned, housedresses are “in!”. I am so there….I find that most of my ‘at home’ clothes are either stained, too warm for the season, or just unflattering and I’ve made up my mind in the last few weeks that I must address this area NOW.

Have a look at the evolution of the humble house dress below. We lived on a farm and ALL the women in the town and farm (were housewivesalmost all did not work outside the home except for those who were clerks in stores and a few office workers). My dad even did the grocery shopping. A-a-a-g-g-g-h! On the weekends I'll pull on whatever is easiest.

Hello Dee, I have popped over from Alison’s Brocante Home! Woven cotton is cooler than a [knit] T-shirt in our miserable south Texas summers.

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; These dresses look so good I wish I could have one made! Hi Gill. And I have one bizarro find from grandma- never, ever saw her wear it and not sure what it's really meant for- a dressing gown? I want to do more posts about homemaking, vintage household skills, and similar topics.
