...or house dresses.

Mom used to wear them. And now I do! DH calls me "Aunt Tillie" LOL!

Funny thing....one time a friend went into Walmart and asked the clerk where the "shifts" are. Needless to say, she got a very odd look and the clerk said "A what?"

Mine are sleeveless and snap or zip down the front.

Do you wear "shifts"? They are they first thing I put on when we get home after taking off the uncomfy clothes!

Even as a child and now, I seldom wore any "dress" at home. My mother did occasionally wear an A-line sleeveless dress at home during summers. Then later she just found it easier to do stuff in home-sewn capri like length pants with elastic waist and a top. My definition of comfy clothing at home (excluding pjamas), is shorts and T-shirt.

Generally this is what I wear when I greet visiting guests at home. I even wear it in the middle of winter..in homes that were heated enough which has been the last 1/4 century. 'Course our winters here are comparatively balmy.

I don't have to change when I do my floor stretching exercises in the evening while watching tv.

I love my one piece put on over the head smocks. Not too long, to the knee maybe and they have large pockets which I can't do without. They come in about a dozen colors and I have them all. Made of a tee shirt type material so into the washer/dryer and thats it. I also wear one over my bathing suit when biking if we are going to the pool afterwards.

Mom never wore them and neither do I. However, one of my favorite aunts wore them and they always remind me of her. To be honest, I didn't know they still sold them.

I'm not sure they'd be warm enough for me. Lots of times, I have a hooded sweatshirt on around the house just to keep warm.

I wear jeans and tees too. Right now I have on capri sweats and a tee because I plan on getting this bod out for a much needed walk at lunch.

I have a few but, have not worn them for some time. It only gets aired out for Church on very hot Sundays in the summer. Otherwise, I'm either in trousers, long shorts or ankle-length skirts. Reason? I forget how to mind the way I sit when in a dress. LOL!

When I saw the title, I thought you meant shift work. I was going to say, "Yes. I worked 2nd shift for years." Don't wear
dresses very often. I'm usually in jeans, or capris, or shorts!

Yep, Rachel. I am also guilty of "unintentional moonie" with a shift dress...on a few occasions, when I had forgotten to mind to bend the knees when reaching down for something. LOL!
