We recently had another puzzle called Summer Dresses by the same setter. It was about Keats' and Shelley's odes, I believe. How is this Summer Dresses II related to that Summer Dresses and why are they both called "Summer Dresses"? I'm baffled. please enlighten me.

PiffPoff. this week's is really Some addresses, residences....

Neveracrossword

PiffPoff, I think this week's title is quite crafty (IF you like homophones!), I'm sure regular solvers were probably expecting more addresses, odes etc after the Summer Dresses 1.

PiffPoff

Ah, my Achilles' heel... homophones! I'm from across the pond and I don't pronounce it that way (hard Rs over here). I should've thought about it a little bit longer. Thanks for your help, Neveracrossword.

Neveracrossword

THanks, PiffPoff. I often dislike homophone stuff, and I personally wouldn't pronounce that title to make it work - but I could see what it was meant to be doing!
