Why Don't Women Wear Dresses Anymore ??

Simple, because roles of women also have changed. Women's role right now are more flexible and so they need clothing that are more appropriate. Pants or slacks gives more flexibility and gives women the freedom of movement without ever wondering if any of their privates are showing. Women in the 50s most especially (or even before) are used to wearing dresses which are more fitting to their social functions. now women are not just required to be pretty and smile or serve or just stand by their husbands. Women nowadays are required to do different stuff that requires clothing that will cater to those needs. It is the same reason why you mostly see dresses during formal occasion, it's because women would rarely bend or reach or do heavy stuff, instead they just have to act prim and proper.

Actually, I've noticed the contrary. I notice that more and more women are wearing dresses nowadays, even when they're just strolling around the malls or doing groceries and stuff. I even get jealous of them coz I've always wanted to wear dresses coz they're so comfortable and practical but for some reason I just can't seem to find the perfect dress :) But I must say that there are still a lot more women wearing pants or shorts compared to women wearing dresses. I guess it just depends on the person's preference and also, her job. Some jobs require women to wear pants. Also, some women might also think that they can't pull off a dress or something like that. Some are just more comfortable with pants too :)

even at our church, women dont dress up. i do wear skirts to church and to work but not dresses very often.

i have a hard time finding dresses in my style and dresses that flatter me

Maybe they are hot in summer.They can show their curve of body.Wearing less dress make them look sexy and beautiful.They want to attract other people in the street.The less dress they wear,the more people look at them.

Yeah I feel that, and sometimes I miss to see women wearing dresses like my mom always do. May be the women now just want practically in wearing fashion, so they dont want something like dress anymore. Or I don't really know, I just enjoy to see they are wearing mini skirt or sexy jeans or some like those little skin tight...

Not here in the country where I live. A lot of conservative women still dress that way. And yes, they wear conservative dresses. Especially when going to their place of worship. There's this religion here that doesn't allow girls to worship in jeans or anything other than a conservative, simple, modest dress. I usually wear a comfy, casual dress when I got nothing else to wear (like on laundry days). LoL.

Personally, as much as I want to wear dresses often, I find it a little impossible. It's really kinda inconvenient to commute to work or to anywhere I'll go, since I don't drive, wearing a dress. But with jeans, it's all right, and I don't have to worry about running after a taxi or getting in a jam packed bus or train.

Obviously you've never spent a day in a dress! They can be terribly uncomfortable. Plus you have to be so much more careful about the way you sit, how you get up and all that. With slacks you can just be a little more relaxed that's all!

Where I live, a lot of women wear dresses, because they are in fashion right now, and because they are easy to slip over a bikini (I live in a very hot country with excellent beaches). So maybe it depends on where you live? I personally wear dresses at least every other day!

yes i have....women find the jeans more comfortable and also the dress has becoma a party wear and most hof them have been wearing dresses only for parties and functions.

In my opinion, the reason why this is happening is because of global warming...lol, not really. I think this is because wearing a dress is uncomfortable in general, you need to keep in mind the way you sit, stand and etc. When the wind blows then it's already trouble. Wearing jeans prevents that. Another thing is the shoes, wearing sneakers in a dress is not a good fashion decision,

Its not a problem with me.I always wear dress no matter what they say but the problem whenever I walk down the isle or on path walk every bodies eyes is on you for reason like what you said its a rare view ha! ha! ha! maybe we are the few women now a days who wear it. But its a sort of satisfying and I fell like more feminine. and when they staring at me. I just smile.

As a woman, we still wear dresses but in occasions only. Maybe because of the new style and fashion now a days. It still depends on what you do. You don't need to wear a dress like you're attending a party when you'll just go to the market or grocery.

"I'm a guy but just giving my 2 cents." I think it's mainly because these days a dress is something that's considered to be only formal and not something you wear every day. It depends on the woman though, if they want to wear a dress they will, if they want to wear tight jeans and a hoodie they will.
