Sun Dresses?

[Mom2boys2]

Have any of you ladies worn sundresses to the parks? We are going in late June, so yes, its going to be hot, so I was thinking of clothes other than shorts that might be comfortable.

I did for the first time last year (June). I really liked them. Very cool and comfortable. I did invest in light cotton excercise shorts to wear underneath. I didn't want to flash anyone getting in and out of the rides. Honestly, I don't think I needed them. The sundresses were just above the knee and I never felt "exposed." I would definitely wear a sundress again.

Constantly! I find them to be much cooler and I don't feel as sticky and disheveled at the end of the day. I usually wear full length, empire waisted types that have spaghetti straps. If I wear a shorter one (above the knee), I make sure to be very careful exiting rides (Space Mountain comes to mind). I also like wearing golf skirts.

Just make sure to put sunblock on your shoulders, back, and back of your neck!

I think that sundresses would be a nice option, IF you are not very likely to sunburn excessively. I am very pale, and I could NOT go with my shoulders bare, no matter how much sunscreen I put on. I wish that wasn't the case, otherwise I would wear sundresses (or even tank tops).

If you don't do bare shoulders, you could go with very casual dresses that are not technically sundresses, such as this one:

When we go during summer I love wearing dresses.

Pile up on the sunscreen & make sure you wear boy shorts underneath. One afternoon happened to be really breezy & even though my dress was not super short, the wind managed to lift it up high a couple of times

My favorites are from athleta, they are feminine & practical at the same time.

Last August I wore the jersey cotton skirts from Old Navy and loved them! Very comfortable, easy to pack (no wrinkles) and light weight. Also very affordable ($15 each)

Yes I usually wear them during the evening hours. Right now Gap Outlet and old Navy have some great ones that have nice cotton linings.

I love their catalog and have been thinking about a few things. How do they run? I don't like my clothing to be too tight. Since most of their clothes are fitted (which I like as long as it isn't tight), I am not sure if I should go up a size. I'm sure I need to get it ordered in the next day or two for our trip, and I wouldn't have time for a return. THANKS!

I wore sundresses in NYC last year and loved it! I think I am going to try a few at Disney!

 

[Mom2boys2]

Thanks for the thoughts, definately will look into the shorts underneath! My 9 yr old might be embarrassed if I had a fly up!

just watch the normally not exposed to sun areas...upper arms and shoulders. I sunburn like a lobster turns red, so being that exposed is not an option for me. I'm jealous!

I love sundresses too - saw that Old Navy has tank dresses for $9 for women and $7 for girls on Saturday!

You will find that with athleta it's a hit or miss on everything (size,length,quality,etc).

I am short (5'3") and their dresses tend to be long for me, in some designs, they offer petite/tall.

Size wise, I always read reviews before buying anything, it is a good guide on knowing how they will fit. Another thing to consider is that in most cases their dresses are made for women with smaller breast, I am 32d & I usually have to go a size up just to make sure it doesn't fit too tight around the chest.

The good thing is that shipping & returns are free Costumer service is great!
Go to their sale selection first, their stuff is kinda of pricey.

Let me know how it goes

This Saturday Old Navy has Tank Dresses for $9.00!!!

 

[pixiewings71]

Definitely, but only with shorts underneath! I prefer them longer rather than shorter but I still do shorts underneath.

Just don't wear a white one on any ride where you might get wet

This happened to a young lady on Kali River Rapids when we were there. She got soaked and it became quite transparent. She had opted to forego a bra and was wearing a thong. Her boyfried ended up taking off his t-shirt and giving it to her and they made a quick run into the gift shop.

I've worn dresses to the parks before. my only suggestion ,if you're going to wear a dress, is to wear some comfy shorts underneath (with all of the walking, it's very uncomfortable without them)

JCrew has some adorable summer dresses out right now. My dd bought a few things this weekend and when I lose the rest of my baby fat weight I'm going to pick up a couple for myself....
