DressI stumbled across the website A Dress A Day today. It’s a very interesting site maintained by Erin McKean. One of the highlights of the site is Erin’s “Secret Lives of Dresses” series where she concocts a story around a dress and tells the story from from the perspective of the dress. You would really have to read the stories to appreciate the brilliance.

Erin was interviewed for “Yahoo Picks” in August 2007 and when asked where she came up with the idea for “The Secret Lives of Dresses” replied:

I’m not absolutely sure. I have always wanted my vintage dresses and patterns to tell me about their previous owners—I love it when there’s a clue to their personalities or lives forgotten in the pocket or stuck in the envelope, an old lipstick, a ticket stub, a handwritten note or list… and I guess one day I figured, heck, if they can’t tell me, I’ll just make it up for myself.

Erin McKeans blog is an absolute gem and you should definitely check it out if you arent already a reader.
