This. That’s why I said above: are you dressing to be cute like florals and flirty cut? Or are you dressing to be hot for your dh? In which case - tight, single color, and as I suggested, leather!
+1. I love the leather bottom dress you picked. The others are exactly that - cute.
I thought the navy anthro dress on page 1 could still be hot -- and it fits what PP said - single color and tight.

Men love leather.
This is a great dress. I just wore it on for a cocktail night welcoming wedding party event. Got a ton of compliments.
DH loved it OP
What shoes did you wear?
Not the PP you're responding to, but i'm the PP who originally posted the A&O dress. I own a similar version from a couple years ago. I just wore a pair of strappy black heels. My DH goes wild with this dress. I haven't worn it in a couple of years, and he'll bring it up every couple months - like 'you should wear that tonight' even when it's totally not event-appropriate. I stand by my original point that men go wild when you wear leather.
OP you can wear the cute anthro dress, but just figure out what you're looking to dress for. Are you attempting to look cute/pretty? Or are you getting dressed up to make your Dh and other men at the restaurant drool? If it's really a hot date, dress for the latter. You only live once. You could wear the anthro dress out with girlfriends.
Thank you! I appreciate your thoughts. Do you have thoughts on clothes and various ages? Like do you think it would have the same effect as say age 65. (Yes, I know OP is younger). Or at some point does the age of the wearer make it all too distracting? (Assume person is still in great shape).

So far I’ve looked at my usuals, tuckernuck and Nordstrom and there are maybe like two candidates but I’d like to see more. I’m a size 4-6. I’m willing to try a boutique (maybe monkees) but would love to shop online too

These are all way too short. I wouldn't wear them anywhere (another 40+)
Sucks to be you. NP and i didn't like any of the ones on this particular post, but not because they were too short. Just because they were too casual and I'd wear most of them just around town and going to the grocery store. But i like it when the way I look makes my DH wants to F me. You maybe are going for a different look. I'm 47 fwiw.
