  • Descrição: The young reader is not associated with the modern world in which s/he lives, but with an image of life 'from another time,' that is patriarchal and has no machinery, which reinforces the myth of happy past times, of a golden age." [...]most of the texts chosen for compulsory reading in schools present to the contemporary reader not the society in which s/he lives, but the idyllic society "of once upon a time," of distant times, much closer to the purity of a world not yet influenced by industrial revolutions, in which the family ruled by the figure of the father becomes the model of life in society. [...]the boy describes his mother's dress, after which the book is titled. The author chose the dress precisely to displace consolidated concepts about reality. [...]wearing the dress does not imply a change in gender or sexual role, but rather, provokes a reflection about valuing special moments. In a light-hearted way, we enter into the private universe of Alexandra, who some days "wants to wear dresses and let her hair down" and other days "wants to wear shorts and a ponytail to play freely."
