[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  I find it hard to believe you are “too sweaty” to wear anything but athletic shorts and tanks.  People all over the world in much warmer climates tolerate regular clothes.  Men, who are typically much more sweaty than women, wear regular clothes.  This is an issue of your personal tolerance, rather too much sweat.  [/quote]

Ignore this poster, who lacks any knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

My personal approach to this problem is to shop high and low to score the absolute thinnest cotton weave dresses on the market.  Sometimes you find them at Old Navy or World Market or H & M for $14.   Sometimes they're in the Ralph Lauren section of Bloomies for $150.   %100 cotton voile is the best.

Choose sleeveless, always.  No waistbands.  If you need to wear sleeves in an office to be professional, keep a cardigan at work.

While you're in the store (no online shopping, you must kick the tires so to speak), hold the fabric up to the light and make sure the weave is very, very open.  Is a ton of light showing through?  Can you see how many fingers you're holding up while looking through the fabric?  Then it's acceptable.

If you're an athletic size 4, consider skipping a bra.  Choose undies that are thong or thong-like -- do not cover up your butt cheeks with lots of wicking-not-wicking fabric!!

This is the type of dress I wear instead of shorts and tank to run errands, etc

Same fabric, slightly more coverage for dining out when it's 95 (no bra, yes thong)
