[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. These responses are unexpectedly bitchy. I don’t find sundresses easy. I have a large chest and really struggle to find dresses that cover my bra straps and cleavage while showing enough of my upper chest/arms to not look summery and not prudish. I’m also not particularly heavyset (size 6) but have very sensitive skin and my thighs touching in summer heat is MISERABLE. So I’m much more likely to wear shorts or capri yoga pants and a v neck t shirt to basically anything with my child (that’s not an actual formal event) than a dress. Just some perspective that not everyone feels the same about dresses. I wish I found them easy—but it’s not a penchant for sloppy dressing that makes me choose shorts/leggings every time. [/quote]

The premise of this thread is bitchy (what's wrong with you snotty bitches who need to 'dress up'), so let's start there.

OK, cool, you don't like dresses. There are still lots of regular-clothes options that aren't literally workout gear for you to choose from:

A skirt and a T-shirt (I wear shapewear shorts underneath sometimes)
A pair of capris and a nice top (yes, some people mock capris, but they are still a step up from athleisurewear)
Shorts and a ncie top (see above)
A maxi dress with shapewear or even shorts underneath
Jeans and a nice top (especially for indoor venues; I was outside a lot and wore jeans today and was perfectly comfortable)
Khakis or cargo pants and a nice top

Basically, just looking like you got dressed vs. looking like you literally just rolled out of bed is totally achievable no matter what your body type or budget.[/quote]

I would consider all of these things “leisure wear.”  The lined linen dress op mentioned would be something I would consider “dressed up.”  [/quote]

I just hate dresses and skirts. I own very few and pretty much hate wearing them other than to a wedding. What would be acceptable other than a dress? [/quote]
