[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like a lot of these shorter dresses but I find I've been gravitating towards midi or longer simple for practicality reasons. I love the Sundry dresses just linked, for instance, and they look generally easy and relaxed. But then I think about needing to bend down to help my toddler with something, or sitting on sideline bleachers at a kid's soccer game, and those dresses might be just short enough to make me feel like I need to worry about. I know you can wear bike shorts underneath but that undermines the "staying cool in the summer" aspect of a dress.

But a midi dress is so nice because if you go with a flared or a-line shape, you can move around in them as easily as short or pants, but look a little more dressed up and it's easier to fit to different body shapes. I like a maxi dress, too. My ideal summer date night dress is something that is really "naked" on top (I don't do strapless, but I like something that exposes a lot of shoulders, back, and chest) but long, maybe with a slit. Sandals with a low heel, maybe a narrow belt and some hoops. I used to wear shorter dresses and skirts but it's so liberating to go longer and not have to think about it.[/quote]

For your "date night dress", check Reformation, you described almost all their dresses.  [/quote]

PP here and while I like Reformation, I'd turn to them for more special occasion -- something to wear to a wedding. I'm talking more about this (it's the Lido dress from Z Supply in a cotton slub):

Could just be a weekend hang out dress, but I can wear it with cute sandals and jewelry and a belt, and easily wear it out to dinner or to have drinks with DH. This is the category of dress I get the most use out of, especially since I can just wash it at home and don't have to be careful with it the way I might with one of my Reformation dresses.[/quote]

This dress is completely shapeless and has zero appeal as a going out to dinner or drinks with a DH. Maybe as a run around during the dress. Where are your legs?[/quote]

You can't wear a dress unless it shows people where your legs are? I think they know.

It's fine you don't like it but my DH does and so do I so I thought I'd share. Please feel free to share your own favorite dress that makes sure everyone knows you have legs and where they are.[/quote]

DP and I like that dress (and similar ones, which I posted), too.  I have great shoulders and arms, and am tall enough to pull off a dress like this.  Why not wear what works for me?

And to the other PP - strapless bras exist for a reason.  [/quote]

I like it, too. Some of the others posted would look terrible on me.[/quote]
