Tunic Overdress 523
I bought the tunic over dress and a matching underdress many years ago from Comfy clothes who were in Queens Park, north London. The overdress tunic has slit sides which show the co-ordinating under-dress or skirt. When in a hurry, you could simply co-ordinate any colour such as a black underskirt with black shoes and a black belt and black handbag. But this creates a heavy effect. I like the autumn and spring look of soft autumn colours of pale brown or spring pink. The tunic was originally sold with a co-ordinating underskirt.
When folded neatly the clothes remain crease-free and wrinkle-free. The shop saves on hangers.
Storage
The shop stacked all their clothes folded on shelves. Easy to see all the items of co-ordinating colours at a glance in one pile.
When searching for something similar online, if you look up overdress with the article a, you get the verb to overdress. I hunted for an alternative word for overdress. It is a top layer.
If you cannot find a co-ordinating outfit, you can create one from two identical dresses in a thin fabric. Or a dress and skirt in the same fabric. The underskirt can be longer, ankle length. The overdress has slit sides and hangs loose at the waist. A long or outsize tee-shirt would do. Or two of tee-shirt, with the lower half of the second one used to lengthen the first one.
Brown & Pink Colour Combination
The colours are a warm brown background with salmon pink flowers. Brown and pink is not a common combination. It works well when you have a pink tone of brown.
Advantages of Long Dresses
Long dresses make short people like me look taller.
I am not keen on the latest fashion (in 2025) of tight dresses designed to accentuate, draw attention to a female's nether regions. I think that a slit-side skirt which hangs loose is less constraining, more comfortable and more elegant.
