I wear dresses all summer. I don't like to wear shorts anymore and the dresses are cool. I do get compliments on them . I had one lady stop me going into the bank and ask me where I got my dresses. They can be dressed up or down.
This is the style dress
http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/en...ing_women.html... they are really easy to sew, no zippers or buttons unless you want. The fabric makes all the difference .. I don't know if I could make one nice enough for say the opera but for the most part in my life they are good... And for me the best part is NO matching needed. :-)
