Maybe you could sew a thin cotton or silk slip for dresses like this? <br />For fall toughening, a fitted long-sleeve tee shirt might work in place of the turtleneck you don't have. I also think a menswear-style vest could provide some great contrast.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500987056424242419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632064987562852587.post-39528314809295629002010-07-30T12:58:25.683-04:002010-07-30T12:58:25.683-04:00I think I've seen that often - a really nice o...I think I've seen that often - a really nice outer fabric lined with oh-so-lovely polyester. I think this is some sort of cost cutting method for the manufacturer, or some weird standard - if you've ever been in joann fabrics every fabric in the lining section is polyester. I don't know what the meaning of this is.<br /><br />Either way, I think the dress looks lovely for summer, and could easily carry you in to fall, which makes is versatile and therefore you'd better start wearing it a lot more!<br /><br /><a href="http://chic-onthe-cheap.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Chic on the Cheap</a>LyddieGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604790644999494872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632064987562852587.post-44208687963351896772010-07-29T22:04:57.159-04:002010-07-29T22:04:57.159-04:00@StyleUnderdog: I don't own any turtlenecks ri...@StyleUnderdog: I don't own any turtlenecks right now but if my ma were to mysteriously gift me one for Christmas, I know what to do with them...<br />@A-Dbus and AUfH: Thanks!

Exquisite!<br /><br />Also, I CANNOT wait to see it all styled up for fall. And I don't think the pleather and boots option would be too informal for the classroom. Well, maybe it would be a bit casual for the beginning of the term, but maybe around November you could get all B.A. with the dress & boots?Academic Writer (a.k.a.

Tights and boots were always included. I always thought that look was kind of cool. It was like "yes, it's a summer dress but I'm not gonna let something like the weather stop me from wearing it cuz the dress is awesome" kind of thing.

Summers in some idyllic non-humid place, maybe--but not here. But I love the dress on you. I'd be tempted to toughen it up a little, too, for fall--even some ankle boots would give it an edge, and I like your idea of a denim or (p)leather jacket though the idea of that now makes me wilt. I just don't find cowboy boots flattering on most people in a dress--they hit at a weird place on the leg. You could layer this nicely, too--a vest or cardigan over, or even a slouchy pullover would tone down the "flowery" aspect.<br />Goodwill just sent me an email that they're having a 50% off sale tomorrow.
