[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appreciate the thread.  I'm trying to buy a few casual dresses in 1) a woven cotton or linen that 2[b]) can be worn with a regular bra[/b], and 3) aren't ruffled and tiered, and it's slim pickings![/quote]
Yes, why are there so many dresses out there that do not allow you to wear a proper bra? I know not everybody has my rack, but the number of women who don't need a bra with a dress is low.

I don't like strapless bras, and the convertible bras do not necessarily work with a lot of these dresses.[/quote]

I actually think most of the dresses posted in this thread can be worn with a bra.

I posted upthread about being someone who burns easily, so I'm always looking for summer dresses that actually cover my back and chest and ideally even have sleeves (but in summer-friendly fabrics). Obviously any dress that meets those requirements would also be bra-friendly. I've seen a bunch in this thread.

Lots of dressier summer dresses have thin straps or open backs and while that's cute, they do pose logistical challenges. I look at most dresses like that as for someone with a very different lifestyle than mine. When I was 25 and looking for a dress to wear on a date or to a party or out to brunch, I'd wear stuff like that. Now I'm looking for something I can wear for errands, to stand around at a kid's party or activity for 2 hours, for travel/vacation (so walking and sight seeing and more kids activities), and especially for anything that can transition to work well. I simply do not have much use for a strappy sundress anymore, especially not something with cutouts or a low neckline. They are cute, but I have limited places to wear them.[/quote]
