Dresses?

. But I can't imagine a corset being comfortable--it would defeat that purpose.

You might be surprised.

I might now consider experimenting with wearing a corset underneath a dress (not tightly laced) to pull me in a bit.

Nah, Steamman, just let it all hang out, like so.

This got a very good reaction at a social function last night.
There's even a feather boa waiting to accompany it on another occasion sometime in October.

Bold statement Steve. I like it.

Had posted a couple links to a thread in the sewing section, titled "Defining Skirt Styles." It occurred to me that these links may be obscure.

50 types of dresses.

40 types of dresses.

I think this is too easy. Every type of dress you can list in different lengths of skirt and most can be listed in different types of neck line.

I think this is what makes skirts and dresses so interesting to people who want to express them selves in what they wear.

Once you put tubes over the legs, you have restricted your choices quite considerably.

Not causing drift!
Just to point out that I'd welcome more comments if anyone wishes to contribute.

A few members have mentioned dress designs that they think could be adapted for men. A few designs that I recall being mentioned:

1. Shirt dress.

2. Coat dress.

3. T-shirt type (basically a very long T-shirt).

4. Shift.

5. There has been a thread or two featuring that fellow Ron, who has specialized in caftans.

(BTW, in the sewing section I described how to make a simple caftan requireing little money and meager sewing skills).

I think A-line dresses look good too, with something defining the waist(be it a belt or just a seam) and with the right neckline ofc. The widening skirt helps give some balance
