It has always been dresses ever since I first started dressing in my mother's dresses many years ago. Naturally the dress has to be paired with a lovely pair of heels.

Why not both girls? Mixing and matching is so much fun. Jackets, sweaters, scarves, skirts, blouses. The images you can create are endless!

I used to be most drawn to dresses.  But I now realise it seems to be more of a seasons thing with me as to whether it's them or skirts.  And I seem to have become a trousers girl anyway while it's been rather cold of late! And will probably still be for a few more weeks yet.  But then I hope it will be mainly skirts again.  I do have some thicker dresses which will get a look in, but on the whole I now see dresses more as a summer thing.

As a very occasional crossdresser I very much favour dresses. Just so many styles and all so feminine. Many here talk about the versatility of skirts with all those different choices of tops. That is perhaps the challenge for me. Dresses are much simpler. You should see the size of my Roman and Next wishlists 😂 xx.

I like skirts. You can mix up the top and create different looks. With a dress its one look only.

My grandfather used to say, "Six of one kind, a half-dozen of the other". I don't see it as an either/or. For me, it depends on where I'm going and the occasion to which I'm going. Dresses seem to me to be more formal; skirts & blouses, more casual.

I somehow have lots of dresses. I recently paired a skirt I have with a coordinated blouse. 

Dresses make an easy feminine look, but those chubby parts seem to stand out more unless you get the right cut.

Skirts seem versatile, wear higher or lower, move the waist up or down, easier to create a cinched look.. Just need to find the right top to go.

I also voted for dresses. Honestly, I think either are fine because they both beat pants! Dresses are better for me since they enforce where my waist is (I usually wear A-lines and Fit-and-Flares) and I don't have to think about it whereas with a skirt I have to catch myself from wearing the skirt to low, beneath my belly button, sort of like a kilt. Even if I wear the skirt correctly, I have to monitor it throughout the day to make sure it doesn't slip. Again, that's just my reasoning for my preference, but as long as you're wearing women's clothes, you're doing it right!

Dress is definitely my choice, more variety nicer colors as skirts are pretty much all the same, in addition, I believe dresses made look so much better.

I feel more feminine in a dress and generally prefer wearing a dress. If I am in public, and it is not out of place, I nearly always prefer a dress. However, as a practical matter, skirts are more flexible, so are what I wear most frequently.

I’ve grown to love both. 

I used to be all about skirts - it was how I started to be honest. I loved the skirts the girls wore at my school. Box pleats for the first 5 years then a straight skirt with two kick pleats front and back which I adored )and eventually plucked up the courage to buy one of my own). 

Later in life this morphed into a love of flight attendant uniforms. Most of them have skirts but some also have dresses and having found a couple on eBay, I love their fitted shape and their silky lining. Zipping the little hidden zipper (you know the little droplet zip thing) up my back and past my bra strap is amazing.

I prefer skirts as my top half is UK size 12 and my bottom half is UK size 10, so a size 10 dress is too tight around the chest and shoulders while a size 12 is too loose around the waist and hips. 

Love Karen

So many different reasons - for both!  As I never go out, but keep my dressing private, one factor for me is the relative ease of getting quickly back into male mode if necessary.

A dress (for me anyway) requires complete dressing: bra, girdle, stockings (or tights), panties, slip...and then the dress, zipped up.  If I need to get into male mode quickly from that situation it would be impossible with everything needing to come off before re-dressing.  With a skirt it can be much easier: I can leave my shirt/top/jumper on (not bothering with bra) and just put on girdle, stockings/tights, panties, maybe a waist slip...and, if getting back to male mode in a hurry is necessary, at a pinch just the skirt (& slip if worn) can be quickly taken off, trousers and socks pulled on over the underwear and stockings...and I can emerge quickly to greet a surprise visitor!

Yes, I do love to wear a dress when the above scenario seems unlikely and one particular feeling I like so much is the lightness of it - almost floating, with no waistband...and totally unlike trousers!

@lionel Same Paula 🙂❤️!! I love that dresses have no waistline and have the lightness you were referring too!! As a result, I tend to feel much more feminine when I’m wearing a dress 👗 as opposed to a skirt! Lately I do like wearing miniskirts with blouses though 🙂

Dresses, now and forever!

But, I do love business skirts suits...
