Dresses
Dreams about clothing, a lace wedding dress, but very soft to the touch. Another looking for a dress in a department store, and after a long search for dresses of any king, found two styles. One a dark purple lace, but of a strange slim design, the other a shiny aqua with lots of white puffy tulle on the bodice. Both hideous. I think the wedding is getting to me. Uniforms are much easier for me, since I have no sense of what is appropriate to wear, and the higher level of formality, the less I understand. So much harder, since there is no tuxedo for me. But I have something pretty, and appropriate, that will blend. (Rather like my singing voice.)
On the other hand, I really appreciate good clothes. I love how soft, solid fabric feels, especially when they are comfy and in pleasing colors, with lots of pockets. Dressy dresses rarely fill any of these criteria.

Oh, shiny aqua with white puffy tulle sounds just the job!
Indeed, it is far easier for males.
Cringing right this minute at the memory of a dress (outfit, including shoes, hat & gloves) that was so "wrong" for the occasion. There is photographic proof of my blunder, two decades old. Still cringing.
So totally agree with you that the men have it so much easier. And pockets that actually can carry stuff are a must.
My main concern when choosing clothing is: does it make me look fat? I should think more about the aesthetics of fabric texture and fluffiness. (Fluffiness might accentuate fat, though.)
RR,
Heh. And the fluffy got bigger when I held it up to myself. Even in the dream, wasn't about to try it on.
Phil,
I am wearing black and white to the wedding. White blouse, black skirt, so it's as close as I can get to a tux.
ER,
I so understand. I cringe as well.
mbick,
Love pockets. Essential.
20th,
For me, except for the rare formal do, it's about comfort. I did try on some satin formal wear once, and I felt like a well decorated sausage.
