 Question for the Men:

When you think of Sundresses, what does the dress actually look like in your mind? 
 legs 
 noted. short dress? 
 Dress? What dress? 
 leg man too? 
 I feel like I'm being trapped. 🙄  
 lol your dress is a towel 
 You really need soap. I mean... you really do need soap!😲  
 Flowy dress with a pattern on it with spaghetti straps  
 short, mid leg, or long? 
 Short or mid thigh. 
 Like a mid thigh sundress 
 Tight or flowing 
 High sleeve or strap up top and flowing past the waist. https://image.nostr.build/786d6aba952a2a18c3b88343ce21b20966540e34a57d21abf9bf3cabf86b04b8.jpg  
 this is a compromise from most mens and womens idea smooshed to gether.... i will wear this one 
 This is enough fabric to make two dresses.

Thin spaghetti straps up top is 👌 
 Short, thin. 
 Like this: https://image.nostr.build/37c4ab3d3353fa22e427d42dcc81b9b9c40f02f6ad9279c18b91d1e79016590d.png 
 Oh my.. 🙌 Yes! 
 This is what a lot of women think when we are bringing out the sundress

 No that is horrible.  Put that winter coat back in the closet. 
 I don't consider this a sun dress. Gotta have a flowy skirt, IMO  
 The little billowy cotton dress with spaghetti straps. Is that right? 
 I just watched a video of this woman saying men have a different idea of a sundress... from the answers I received, it is short, thin, spaghetti  strap dresses....where women think more https://image.nostr.build/d7588ffe6031c5e3b26521d0fde474ec39883e6504947bbac927e2d0ae388d9b.png 
 I thought they were meant to be sleeveless dresses, too. Maybe not spaghetti only but spaghetti or tank straps. 
 I thought it was just cute flowy dresses with different straps or short sleeves.... i didn't realize that a lot of men like short, thin as well 
 Well what they like and the definition of sundress are not the same 😉 
 Let me say this… I think guys like form fitting dresses ✨on perfect bodies✨
I tried on a mermaid wedding dress because I love that look. I did NOT love it on me 🤣 I would be much cuter (positively cute) in a flowy sundress than a skintight mini (negatively cute)… 
 I hear ya. I do better with flowy dresses or ones that are tight right underneath the breast/ hight stomach area and with a flowing skirt. if the material is cheap and you can see all the rolls, then it doesn't look right, also it is hard to wear spaghetti strap when you are larger chest, the spaghetti strings dont look right with a bra strap, also if you CAN find a strapless bra that doesn't look like you are wearing fifty tube tops over each other, then i don't know....all my dresses are either really loose or the same shape. Fitting on top, with the tight spot under the chest, and loose on the bottom.  
 So the spaghetti strapped cotton ones aren't sun dresses? 
 no they are....i didn't realize how, um, more form fitting and revealing men think a sundress is in their mind 
 I would guess men's minds probably do that for a lot of things you don't realize  
 It's funny how long my sundresses are and I'm looking like a nun lol  
 For the record that's a perfectly passable sundress in my male sundress mental schema. 
 lessdress & moresun 
 wild to think, all these years, i thought men liked cute flowy dresses, but they want short and thin dresses 
 dress up nite helps engagement to reality 
 Flow state, a dress that shows to a Sunday bbq or a hot humid night down downtown. Flirty not short, fun not proper. 
 Something like this https://i.nostr.build/Xz5eWQX51stGzePP.jpg  
 I love this dress. If the straps were a tad wider, maybe almost upside down triangle shape. I would buy it a minute.  
 I like this better than spaghetti straps, but the wider/triangle shape would look good. I bet this dress would be interesting in a denim color/style. 
 Kind of pinup/classic calendar girl from the 50s denim?  
 Well pinup makes me think short dress, in my mind I would simply swap the material and keep the same pattern. It would be similar to those poodle skirts but with the whole dress and not just the bottom portion. And without the weird poodle embroidered on it 🤭 
 Not a guy, but this is the type of dress I consider sundress. Maybe it's regional thinking? South = hot sun = no sleeves = sundress 🤷‍♀️. You pair it with a short or long sleeve cardi or shawl.  
 This is almost the spitting mental model for a sundress. Slightly above the knee, but maybe less patterned in my mind. 
 Looks like a pretty wadded pile on the floor, because that's where it ends up after I have to strip it off her because she's so sexy in it. It's mission accomplished for the dress when we get down to business.... 
 Important questions being asked 💃👗

 Lightweight cotton.  Pleated or ruffled.  Just past knee length.  Some light shines through the fabric.  Short sleeved.  Often yellow or white or spring colors.

How did I do?  I didn't cheat, this is what I think a sun dress is.  Now I'll go read the other answers. 
 Bikini 
 My favorite dress  
 Well, yes. But... I don't know what to call those, but it wouldn't be a sun dress if it's hot a tight skirt. Gotta swoosh!  
 Oh interesting  
 Yeah, but it basically means it follows the contours of the body it's on. I practically live in oversized shirts, bodycon skirts, and leggings most winters but even when I wear one of the dresses like that,I cover the majority of it with an oversized top. Lol. 
I once told someone "I only wear it so I can get away with leggings and a big shirt with slightly extra butt coverage."  
 Gotcha! Cool.  
 Gotcha! Cool.
