Daddy Steve: We recently bought a dashing Gregor suit, dress shirt, & tie combo off of eBay.
We began to wonder if we had a similarly businesslike ensemble in the girls' wardrobe. A search produced only this outfit which Valerie is wearing. We think it would be suitable for the corridors of power...
Of course, at the moment, this is actually what most folks are wearing to work...
It was made, some time ago we would guess, by someone named Aunt Dinah. A number of her creations turned up on eBay at the same time. We had never heard of her before, and apparently no one in the Sasha Facebook group had either.
Whoever Aunt Dinah was, she was an excellent seamstress. The tailoring is impeccable and the jacket is fully lined.
Giancarlo took a fancy to the suit and claimed for himself.
Giancarlo: Italian men appreciate finely tailored suits.
He thought it made him look like a Wall Street tycoon.
Giancarlo: What did the Dow close at today?
Wyatt: Huh?

Valerie: I'll be preparing a legal brief, if you need me.
We suspect that nowadays women have a wider variety of choices in business attire. Gone are the 1980s when giant shoulder pads commanded respect.
Valerie: Anyway, it's what's in your head that's important, not what you're wearing.
Giancarlo: Absolutely.

Giancarlo: Do you think this robe needs a wash?
Valerie: >sniff, sniff< Mmmm...maybe.

that suit is amazing! Never heard of Aunt Dinah either, but she can sew! Giancarlos looks like a model in it! I think the boys in their stinky pj's do look more comfy, tho. Has anyone heard from Stephen Orange? How is the dig going, I wonder?
That does look like a very well made suit, and Giancarlo looks incredibly dashing in it!! I've never heard of this Aunt Dinah, I wonder if perhaps she has since passed away and her family are selling off some of her stuff? It's great that it still has the tag on it though :)

What a smart suit and Giancarlo looks like a boy going places! Looks very well made and I have never heard of Aunt Dinah, but she does look like a persons whose clothes you'd want to own.
Along with the very smart Valerie in her legal eagle attire!
The last photo made me laugh of their ususal wear! :)
But there's truth in it. In my job, a man wearing a smart suit for work is considered maybe not the smartest... or the best worker.... it's jeans and t shirts most of the time.
Wish I could sew as good as Aunt Dinah!
