Example Sentences
- "Almost all babies get heat rash during hot weather. However, heat rash can occur even in cold weather if your child is overdressed either during the daytime or the nighttime."
- "Not, a thousand times not, that she should be overdressed. An overdressed Angel is a contradiction in terms. We associate not angelic attributes with the gorgeous attire and plenipotent jewellery of a Houndsditch Hebrewess. Just as the man who is got up in the loudest of loud costumes, and hangs out as a sort of Christmas tree, with incongruous braveries and charms and nicknacks pendent all over, we are apt to deem not a gentleman, but a gent."
- ""I was worried you might think I am overdressed," Sheinna replied in a small voice."
