new dress
Virginia Woolf’s The New Dress is a narration that brings to light the issues representative of real women’s lives. It is a story that transcends the reader through a literary account with some elements as In the title “The New Dress” which is the central point and focus primarily reflected upon in the story. ... Woolf’s setting of time and place proves nothing can be more real than a story that shares so much in common to the everyday woman, how she copes with life and the challenges meted out to her on a daily basis, in this case Mabel and her dress conduct cum appearance when invited to attend a party play an important role. ... The story is quite intriguing, especially Mabel’s yellow dress, the metaphorical fly in the saucer of milk, the looking glass and Mabel’s “transformed self” who would never or may never give a thought to clothes again.
