I'm the kind of lady who like to travel light. I don't like bulky purses and the 90s are over, so chain wallets are right out. I may bring a bag, but I don't like to carry it around all day. I like to have my hands free, and the best way I've found to do that is to wear a dress with pockets.
Typically the dresses I find with pockets have a full skirt so I was pleasantly surprised to find this Gown Town Women's 50s Style Business Pencil Dress with Pockets. With a gorgeous bright color, stunning vintage inspired design, and a magnificent fit, this dress has it all And Pockets!! These pockets are so nice, spacious enough to carry a few things without adding too much bulk to this svelte style.
Even though pockets haven't been a typical aspect of dresses for the past 50 years or so, they were a common feature in the dresses of the 60s and the many decades before. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment about pockets. I think every gal gets excited to find that often overlooked aspect of a dress, and this is nothing new. Did you know that ladies have always needed pockets? In the 1700s, a pocket was actually a separate garment worn under the petticoats and around the waist.
According to the Victoria & Albert Museum, "In the days when people often shared bedrooms and household furniture, a pocket was sometimes the only private, safe place for small personal possessions." Certainly those days are over, but the need for pockets remains, which is why I am always tickled at the thoughtfulness of a company that adds pockets to their dresses like Gown Town Vintage.
I cannot stress this enough about Gown Town dresses, they are extremely nice quality dress for very reasonable prices. Recently I tested a look alike dress from a competitor company. The dress was the same style and price, but the quality was dismally lower. I'll be doing either a video or a blog post, perhaps both, to show you the difference in quality between the two dresses.
In the meantime, if you haven't tried a gown town dress, you absolutely must. They have lots of styles and sizes, plus a variety of vintage and modern design dresses. For my final post in this month's collab with Gown Town Vintage, I'll be showcasing one of their modern style dresses and it is exquisite. You don't want to miss that post, and the year's almost over, so it will be on the blog very soon!
