So what are you wearing to those same occasions and what would the people you know wear? I do think there is a regional divide on this though that's probably not all of it.

DP - there is definitely a regional divide. In my area, I see a lot of tailored sheaths, along with dresses with either asymmetric hems or draping around the neck/shoulders (or both). I only see the Somerset when I am back in DC.

I’m 5’7” with a DDD chest and 130 lbs. I’m not fat. I look horrible in these types of dresses.

I bet.
