The New Dress (short Story)
The New Dress is a short story by the English author Virginia Woolf.
It was written in 1924 whilst Virginia Woolf was writing Mrs. Dalloway (which was published the following year). It is possible that it was originally to have been a chapter in the novel with which it shares some characters and events. It was not published until 1927 when it appeared in the May edition of the New York magazine The Forum. It appeared again in A Haunted House and Other Short Stories published in 1944, and in Mrs. Dalloway's Party published in 1973.

Famous quotes containing the word dress:
“... everybody who is human has something to express. Try not expressing yourself for twenty-four hours and see what happens. You will nearly burst. You will want to write a long letter or draw a picture or sing, or make a dress or a garden.”
