One barely fashionable mom's story of an October Dress Project: wearing one dress from Oct 1 to Oct 31, 2010.

Day 19: Please Don't Die, Red Dress!
Sorry for the sad state of this photo, I didn't have a photographer today. I rather liked the effect of the white button down blouse under the dress, with jeans of course.
I have noticed some wear on my dress. Apparently, washing is what's wearing out our clothes, not wearing them. Ok, my logic is flimsy, but I'm sticking with it. I really think if I wasn't washing this dress so often, I'd get more wear out of it. I can't be sure, but I think the color is fading, there's a seam threatening an ugly episode, and the zipper's looking wonky. Both the fading and the zipper are the result of washing, I think. Rest assured I'm not beating the clothes on rocks down by the river, I have an HE front loader, and I use homemade detergent that is, theoretically, sans fillers. Maybe it's the dryer? If we get some clearer sunny days, I may line dry and see if that helps. Hang on dress, 12 days to go!
