Envy-inducing This elegant blue dress features intricate embroidery, perfect for any occasion. Its stylish design offers both comfort and sophistication. Sold out in this size. Leisurely from the Lawn. This is not to be taken lightly, lest you answer to the Victorian and Edwardian ghosts who lawn-leisured so well. Hint: if you can get your hands on a medieval English castle, perfect. But it’s not a necessity. However, the type of turf is essential and predicated on your geography and taste. Bahia, fescue, Kentucky bluegrass. A blend maybe? Consider the palate carefully (crabgrass is not a lawn). Some other particulars: Cocktails - Tea, lemonade, gin and tonics, Sancerre Rosé. Entertainment - Croquet, bocce, horseshoes, lawn darts, exuberant conversation (the rosé and gin will help). Guest list - Good talkers. Easygoers. No one afraid of honeybees. Apparel - I have some ideas. Lady Meux's Lawn Dress
