[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone is from the South, and I don't mean DC, but the true South, these floral, frilly dresses are lower income church-lady-on-Sunday coded. They would always wear prints. I've always associated it with a very cheap, dowdy look. I don't even like this look for younger women....just not my thing.[/quote]

I am from the South as well and I think that's a different kind of frilly dress. Like cheap satiny material maybe. But I think the style under discussion here is more of a Tuckernuck style that you definitely find on a lot of wealthier women in the South now, not to church but in more casual settings.

I love the green dress and I like the style. I like the way poofy sleeves look on me. It's casual and breezy and preppy (to my eye!). When people say it's like trad wife coded I think they are just looking for things to judge. Feminine doesn't mean trad wife. I appreciate an understated look but I can also appreciate this.

That said some of the Tuckernuck stuff is ridiculous and little girl like. There's a line. And I agree the print matters! [/quote]
