I just grabbed them in the morning because I couldn't find any other seams.<br /><br />Thanks for the info. That's interesting. I guess since this dress was from the beginning of the war they may have called it an afternoon dress in an effort to hang on to their pre-war traditions.Camelia Crinolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255747263262874628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052667328095232732.post-52347511964337187102013-03-20T08:41:36.014+13:002013-03-20T08:41:36.014+13:00Thanks!

I think the print goes well with your stocking - its sort of a double optical illusion - are the stocking fishnets gone wrong, was my first thought. I think they really do work with the dress.<br /><br />By the way, afternoon dresses - I doubt anyone really followed this custom in the 40's, as they were all too busy with the war. But certainly in the 20's and 30's ladies (especially) had set rules for when to do what. In the morning they supervised the household and wore clothes for that. In the afternoon, they would go visiting, and wear an afternoon dress. They even had visiting cards! <br /><br />Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052667328095232732.post-36557091001602511762013-03-17T19:32:22.644+13:002013-03-17T19:32:22.644+13:00Goodness this dress is so stunning!
