I've recently bought a long summer dress (and as I'm short - my mum is kindly taking it up for me).
Do you like summer dresses? Would you go for the long floaty type or do you prefer a 50s style tea dress?
Do you feel it makes you more feminine walking round, the breeze swishing it around your legs?
Do you men love seeing a pretty summer dress? We all know the easy access theory but do you find it more alluring in general?

My name is Rose and I'm a dressoholic. Anyone who has seen my full friends gallery before the cull..can attest to it. 
I don't have a type 
I love most. Whatever suits my body shape and whatever I want to feel like that day. Different fabrics different cuts.. different prints.. all set mood in various directions. Make me move differently. I enjoy variety.
It all sounded like I wasn't talking about dresses. |

No, I feel the same but I've shied away from dresses because I'm bigger. I have never really felt comfortable but have bought them because I keep thinking 'one day'
This year I'm going to wear them more though  |

Midi dresses I love for that. For the days of feeling self conscious a little |

Never heard of that one? "
Was On the sewing bee last week. Essentially just a casual maxi dress with lots of space for food babies as you tuck in to an all you can eat buffet |

I’ve never seen you not in a dress! x |

I will always wear a dress or skirt to work etc and will often wear them at the weekends as well when I can be bothered to get dressed
I'd love to wear more pin up style but my body shape (as in big belly and no hips.... Not body size!) spent always suit. |

This is exactly why I've not had long dresses. They seemed to hang off my tummy and I looked 6mths pregnant 
The one I've bought is shirred at the top so only the skirt floats with two long slits to the top of the thigh.
My mum did see the splits and informed me I'm not young anymore and do I want them sewing up?
No mother!! I want to flaunt it for once! |

Have you ever tried a wrap dress? They're so flattering...pull the waist in, accentuate your boobs, and skim over everything else |

I love a summer dress, I bought 3 this week, despite not having much occasion to wear one. It's nice to feel pretty and feminine after spending all week steel toe cap boots and work trousers. |

I do like those, they look so good on a curvaceous figure, well any figure tbh. Will have to look online and see if they do them in a summer dress style x |

I agree although my winter wardrobe consisted of leggings and knee high boots. Don't think I've been out of them for months  |

I love summer and all the dresses! I bought a beautiful polka dot navy sheer shirt dress that I can't wait to wear with a chunky belt and sandals.
I've never found a maxi dress that suits me, I end up looking like a dowager and that's not sexy. I like wrap dresses and I wear them a lot for work because they are so simple.
I'd really like a simple knee length t-shirt dress that has a V-neck and isn't baggy, baggy is not flattering for me. |

Walking through Hyde park in London on a warm summers day a couple of years ago. I noticed a bunch of women all picnicking but what really stood out was they were all wearing typical 50s style dresses. Also to top off the look, hair and makeup as well.
So classy and feminine and I wasn’t the only bloke to notice either. |

I'm definitely going to look out for a wrap dress. I'd just like to feel confident and not like a bag of spuds |

The stupid thing is that a much higher percentage of men much prefer a curvier lady! I think ladies are worried about other ladies making judgement and likewise a lot of men worrying about their mates saying something! I absolutely love seeing a confident lady who has just slipped that floaty summer dress on with nothing at all underneath! |

Bad mummy....leave those splits alone!! |

Definitely have a look, the best ones are where you do the wrapping around part yourself, not the pre done ones if that makes sense? I do like 50s style dresses on other women but they do absolutely zero for my body shape and I feel a bit like I'm playing dress up. When I get to a size 16 maybe they will look better. |

I always feel like I'm playing dress up in my dresses, if it helps - it's part of what I like. |

Yeah just been on a few websites and most are pre done. I guess it's better to go into the shop in person x |

Steel toe cap boots and work trousers look work for me as well!  |

Love dresses, not really in the the summer ,floaty ones although I have a couple, I prefer skater dresses. They hold everything in at the top and my bum can wobble free underneath without sticking out |

Love them, it's all I really wear between now and October if it's warm enough. Love a vintage style, currently got loads on watch on e bay.
Also a maxi dress that covers everything but still looks sexy. |

I'm like a beach ball with legs. I once tried a wrap dress and it looked ok but I've got rounder since then.
Simply Be advert models always look amazing. They have wonderful figures. 
I just look like someone's grandma.  |

I love summer dresses. Long ones, short ones. 50s 90s styles ... don't care.
Maybe it's an emotional response to a happy time in life but summer dresses just make me feel happy.
And I'm not even wearing them... makes not much sense when you think about it |

I am one who likes the tank top dresses and flowy dresses and I want a long Maxi one. But I don't really go places to wear them and I am a T ShiRT and Jeans person but I will wear the tanktop ones around the house to be comfortable |

I love button down summer dresses, midi style or mini with a pair of trainers, a nice relaxed vibe that can easily go from day to night with a simple change of shoes. Some maxi dresses make me feel like I’m wearing a tent I like something a little more figure hugging x |

I used to buy from Simply Be. They are so hit and miss and yes if you have hourglass figure, like most of their models, it's always easier to find a fit! Sometimes shape seems great but fabric does nothing.. |

Oh my, where do I start on this? I'll keep it brief...
I can't resist. All willpower goes out the window. It's a major turn-on. The easy access aspect is a definite bonus, but just the sight of a lady in a summer dress brings on some serious bottom lip biting.  Where do I stand on the 1950s style? I have to say I'm a more of contemporary guy, but that's not to say the 1950s look is bad. |
