I would SO wear this outfit

I already have the period straw hat and shoes. It is a little tablecloth-y, but still cute for a Washington D.C. summer.

I don’t think her dress looks anything like a tablecloth! I’m quite in love with it, very chic and a little Bohemian with the contrasting prints. I enjoyed the article about this very talented woman, and found a YouTube clip of her singing. She was fabulous!

Dressed right from the dining room! Tablecloths have always been an easy source of fabric for multiple uses.
