The New Dress Summary
“The New Dress” by Virginia Woolf is a short story about the
character Mabel Waring. She is constantly thinking about her
new dress negatively. For the party she wears an old
fashioned dress thinking as original deliberately. May be that
was affordable for her economic condition. On reaching the
party and watching the other partygoers, she feels self-
conscious and insecure. She worries that her new dress is not
appropriate for the occasion. After greeting the hostess, she
goes to look at herself in a mirror, immediately deciding that
it’s not right. She imagines the other guests are looking at
her mockingly.
She curses herself for wearing that yellow dress in the name
of being original. She continues to condemn herself for
wearing that old-fashioned dress. When Rose Shaw in the
party praises her dress, she feels she is being mocked.
Mabel tries to think of some way “to lessen this pain.” She
describes her situation in agonized terms, as if she is not be
mentally stable. Mabel compares herself with fly in the
saucer and all other partygoers as beautiful butterflies
dancing on the floor. She doesn’t take anything on positive
note. She considers Robert Haydon’s remark as polite but
insincere.
In her stream of consciousness she tries to think back to how
happy and comfortable she felt at the dressmaker’s room.
The kind Miss Milan pinned her hem, asked for her
measurements, and tended to her pet canary. However, the
world in the party is different. She expected Charles Burt
commenting on her dress as charming. Instead he asks her to
get a new dress. She rebukes herself for caring about what
others think of her.
Mabel recalls growing up in her unremarkable family and her
dreams of romance and adventure in far-away lands. She
thinks about her reality, including her marriage. She thinks of
special, lonely moments in her life, which she describes as
delicious and divine. These were the only moments when she
felt truly happy and fulfilled.
She wonders if these moments will become more and more
infrequent as she gets older. She wants to find a way to be
happy. She decides to pursue self-improvement and
transformation through some helpful, astonishing book, or an
inspirational public speaker. Having talked herself out of her
internal crisis, she gets up to leave the party. Before she
goes, she approaches Mrs. Dalloway, assuring the hostess
that she enjoyed herself at the party.
