Unless you have pretty buff arms, shoulders and pectorals, I’d avoid sleeveless dresses. Or shirts for that matter. No reason a dress can’t be tailored like a mans shirt.Dust wrote:Definitely. A dress is two steps removed from what men are used to. First, it's one tube instead of two. Second, it's one piece top and bottom. If it's sleeveless, or an unusual (to menswear) fabric, that's another step or two.Grok wrote:I think skirt like garments might be slightly easier to popularize than dress like garments. Partly because of kilting, but perhaps also because skirts may be somewhat less jarring. If a man wears a man's shirt with a skirt, he is partly conforming to tradition.

Some female clothes stores have racks of skirts which may be in your style and may fit you....
That is another simple start
