O.K. I don’t wear dresses much; it is largely due to three major issues. 1) It is often rainy where I live and the thought of a soiled dress makes me feel all washed up. 2) I can’t sprint on demand in a dress (you never know when that will be necessary). 3) I have cankles.
So, when I closed the poll for the most expensive piece of apparel ever purchased and the “dress” won I was somewhat surprised. And it didn’t win by a small margin, in fact I would say it won by a landslide. Out of 89 responses, 44 said the most expensive piece of apparel they had ever purchased was a dress. In a close second was the sweater at 21. I was one of the people who said sweater.
So what gives girls? My guess is that those expensive dresses are gathering dust at the back of some closets? Could I be wrong? Please someone write in defense of the dress!
