A couple of years ago, I bought this sheath dress to wear to one of our firm's partners
David Pishko's induction as president of the
North Carolina Advocates for Justice. Unfortunately, I didn't get to go to the ceremony, due to a conflict with the youngest kiddo's annual dance recital. At first, I thought the dress was only appropriate for fancy receptions, but then grabbed it out of the back of my closet and started wearing it to work.
I was attracted to the dress because of the deep eggplant color, the empire waist, the pleats around the neckline - and the fact that the fabric feels exactly like sofa upholstery. Weird, huh? But it's fully lined and really comfortable. I wore it last Thursday, because I had a social event after work, friends' wine store opening.

Do you own a piece of clothing made with unusual fabric that is a beloved part of your working wardrobe?

You look so fabulous with that dress Lynne! Though it was made of an unusual fabric, it looks very classy! Nice sofa dress! Thanks for sharing. Now am wondering if I also have an unusual dress like yours. :) I guess I should check my closet then.
Thanks, CCC, I'd love to hear if you turn up any unusual fabric in your closet!
As you know, I'm a big fan of your blog, and am excited that you stopped by Practical Paralegalism :)
