Very interesting. I'm 56 and we had play clothes, school clothes, and our "good clothes" when I was a kid. It was junior high school (in Maryland) when they started to let the girls wear jeans- one day week! Yeah, and now....well, I wore a dress to wedding 3 summers ago. Before that I don't remember the last time I wore a dress. Don't plan on buying any either. I think dresses are fine if you are comfortable in them, but for me right now I'll leave them to someone else. I do still wear gloves thou - in the winter so my hands stay warm!!
