Last week Saturday visited market day in Beaune France. Tour was followed by a hands-on cooking class and five-course lunch. More on that to follow, off to all day lacrosse tournament this Saturday. 🙂
Totally confirmed how important cooking is in every day life.
Have a great day everyone, and Happy Mother’s Day weekend. xoxo
Dear Worth New York:
About fourteen years ago bought my first outfit from your designs. Pregnant with the sixth child chose an emerald-green straight skirt, turtleneck sweater, and cashmere and wool wrap, occasion was the christening of said child. Since then your clothes have become an essential part of the every day dress.
Have always loved beautiful fabric and design. Taught myself to sew in the sixth grade and would stitch up new skirts for the first day of back to school.  Even made jean styled pants and perfected the top-stitch. Prom dresses, the wedding gown, five bridal attendants, and two flower girl dresses all came from the heart and the trusty Bernina. Bound button holes, Florence Eiseman styled appliqués and Halloween costumes for four, no problem.
Growing a family and creating a household brought monthly issues of Town & Country magazine. There I caught your full-page ads: beautiful classic women wearing beautiful classic clothing. Decided then that I wanted some of that.
Now I wear your clothing regularly, and dress my clients in your designs for their every day and important life events, and find and train other women to share the love.
Your designs make us feel good, make it easier to get dressed well, and give the value I sought when sewing. Thank you.
Have just returned from France and with half a dozen European trips now logged have come to discover that the first thing I put on after the day or night or both of having spent hours and hours in travel clothes is a dress. A dress feels fresh, and pretty.
Wanted to let you know that the dress I wore for the first day and night, exactly one week ago, in Burgundy, was from your Winter 2013 Collection. Ordered that months ago and wore it for Christmas Eve in Sonoma CA. The floral pattern and matching floral cardigan was considered a stretch by some yet I fell hard. That was December and now it is May, the dress keeps going.
While shopping in Paris just four days ago saw a long floral chiffon skirt and yet again, a matching floral cardigan in the window of a boutique on the rue de Cambon. Worth New York, thank you, your dedication to your craft and your good eye gives us the style and fashions of Paris with the ability to dress ourselves and others in the comfort of our homes, not sure what out there is better than that. For me, the luxury of the product line equals the luxury of having a flexible work life, and being able to share beautiful clothes with beautiful women all over is the best of the best.
Thank you sincerely,
Rebecca at every day dress

Under the pretense of biking through Burgundy, husband asked me to join him very last-minute for a five-day trip to France. Of course the answer was yes, have loved the man since the age of nineteen. He’s on the verge of sixty, youngest daughter tells me that all men at times act like they are four. What I know is that his energy knows no bounds.
It was pretty much nonstop. Off the grid for seven days; two for travel, five for touring. Not once were we on bicycles. Unbelievably beautiful. There is good in the world.
Nonstop France.
Another non-stop Monday: today was one of those days that you kind of want to pull the covers over your head while wondering how you’re gonna make it through. Two daughters marked tardy. Monday Monday.
Happy to have this black sweater and black tropical weight wool trouser. Both have been in the machine on cold plenty of times, and both have been photographed and blogged about before. When there’s something out there that works and works well, we’re all about sharing here at every day dress.
These two pieces saved the day. Dressed and out the door. Three visits to the United States Passport Office, client phone calls, client black jacket wardrobe drop-off, desk work and middle school lacrosse game.
Every day dress, living in it. A little leopard print flat and camel bag makes it even easier. Thinking we’re all living in it. Â

Here are the special characters for the post title: CrĂ©me BrĂ»lĂ©e for Fourteen. Couldn’t quite get it for the headline, oh, well.
Last week Saturday cooked dinner for house proper and three kids home from Boston MA and houseguest from Chicago IL. It’s always a party, the theory here is if you can read, you can cook. Continually step out of your comfort zone, everyone needs to eat, and most are appreciative of your efforts. This video shows dessert. Leg of lamb, perfect, standing rib roast, overdone.
Several years after sixth child was born discovered the take away feeling of a good bag of chips. Never really knew what the big deal was before then, must have been all the responsibility that made me want to tuck in. Paired with a glass of champagne, mouth heaven.
Loved that the Pebble Beach Food & Wine festival confirmed and affirmed the love. Had the pleasure of being my sister’s guest, she does all kinds of big party event work on the west coast, and last week Sunday we tasted six different glasses of Grand Cru with potato chips, truffle popcorn, two grades of dark chocolate, two different cheeses, olives, pesto, and freshly sliced bread. Kind of a nice way to greet a Sunday morning in CA at 10 am.  Forget the Wheaties, breakfast of champions for sure.
Also memorable, the Burgundy Tasting and Patrón. Miles apart yet equally significant? The Wines of Burgundy had men in suits, Patrón had young women with big smiles.
As I was back here on the east coast this last Sunday, Easter, had to totally do the redo. Champagne and potato chips were the definite go to side-kicks while cooking ham and eggs for eight.
Every day dress loves a glass of champagne and some chips, who doesn’t? Thank you, Tracy, loved being with you for three nights and four days.
Athletic inspired clothing, happening trend. Key word, inspired. We might say it’s a good idea to keep the stuff you wear to the gym for the gym?
Shown here a look styled for a young client that might otherwise consider tight and bare at times. Stylish, proper, easy, covered.

Every day dress wearing Worth New York Spring Summer 2014 Monday morning for the beginning of a new work week. Loving the green and the ease of a short athletic inspired jacket. Sorry there’s no smile, Monday morning after a lovely long weekend and so much to do! 🙂
Happy Easter. Every day dress. xoxo
For a blended table on Good Friday, really missing the oldest and youngest, one in DC the other in Ft. Lauderdale, kept the table all white and the food wholesome and unpretentious.
Simple it is, easy white tulips, lobster mac and cheese, mustard vinaigrette dressed spinach, arugula and radicchio, and blueberry pie. For a touch of whimsy tried to do Playboy Bunny ears on the pastry top, intent was good, result not so much. 🙂
Sure, there are times to pull out all the stops. Over the years have learned, like wearing good clothes, when it’s simple and relaxed, everyone is at ease. Friday night dinner at home, 8 o’clock until 11:30 pm, for me that’s success.
