Not IMO. I’m a teacher and our school has no a/c (long story) so we are dying on these hot days. I rarely wear dresses to school because they are impractical except for the ones with pockets. I put my phone in them, a pen, bandaids, etc. Best clothing invention in a long time.

Just cut them off if you don’t want them

Ugh, so frumpy, carrying around a bag like a porter

Yes, it is so much more graceful to have bulging pockets on each hip, like an old lady who gave up years ago.

It depends a lot on the material, doesn't it? A heavier, stiffer material supports the pocket better.
Keeping it light with chapstick and a credit card won't ruin the.

When was the last time you went anywhere? Transit cards, money, and tickets are all kept on phones these days. Your post sounds like you time traveled from the 90s.

Where do you put your phone if you don't have any pockets?

DP. I don't carry a purse. It's just one more thing to weigh you down. I carry a small wallet, a lip gloss, a tissue and my car key in my pockets. In summer I have to carry my phone; in winter I put it in a jacket pocket.

I very occasionally buy a skirt or dress with no pockets but only if it is structured in a way that I can have the seamstress at the cleaners put in pockets.

Yeah, when it is a Real Feel 107 and I have to take the dog for a quick walk to take a dump I am very unconcerned about letting my linen schmatta "shine." Aprons and pinafores are not in the equation.

I thought you were going to say that at real feel 107 you just wear a pinafore without the dress.

They make the clothing item look unpolished. They gap, they bulge, they make clothing look frumpy.

I hate them too. I have about 20 linen dresses I've ordered from a woman in Latvia who has an Etsy shop, and aside from the better linen quality, the thing that keeps me buying from her is that she will make them without pockets. I hate hate hate pockets on dresses: I'm not a kindergartner and don't want these.

Yes, I'll just put on my useful pinafore the next time I head out.
