A Dress For All Occasions

" Dresses for breakfast,


and dinners,



and balls;



Dresses to sit in,




and stand in,





and walk in;



Dresses to dance in,



and flirt in,





and talk in,


Dresses in which to do nothing at all;


Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. "

-William Allen Butler, "Nothing to Wear-Harper's Weekly" Feb. 7, 1857
