When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.
When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.

Sometimes, you just want to wear something pretty to the office. Something that makes you feel good. A dress that makes your whole day better. These are those dresses.
Any idea how sizes run on the Dorothy Perkins blouse? Gorgeous!
The Dorothy Perkins is gorgeous!
Uk sizes are notoriously small. I always go up one size. And if you needed to take it in, the tailoring would be cheaper than the return fee to the UK.
Doesn't the Dorthy Perkins website use US sizing?? Either way, the blouse is sold out in my size 🙁
MC: They list US sizes, but in my experience, the item that fits me is usually one size bigger than my usual US size.
