A young woman wears it to go to a party.
I would wear it to an engagement party. It's a nice dress.
I don't like Bette Davis dress. It is short.
A young woman doesn't wear it to a party.

A middle aged woman would wear this dress to go to a party.
If this dress was mine I would feel good.
People would admire me.
I don't like the twiggy 1966 dress the material looks plastic.
A pop singer might wear it.
Too expensive.

When I visited the museum of the little black dress, I found a variety of black dresses of various fashion and designs with different designers. Of all I liked the black American Ben de Lisi design with "wow factor" because its simple, sexy, decent and looks almost casual evening wear which is worn mostly by middle aged ladies in their late 30s or 40s when going to evening dinners special occasions and parties.

When I wear such a dress I would feel comfortable, sexy, decent and smart. It reveals my figure and I would put it on when going to dinners, occasions. People would admire my outfit saying "wow! You're smart, you look pretty."

The dress I didn't like was the one worn by Sarah Jessica Parker, 2005 because its shapeless and looks like a sack. A woman in her 90s or more would wear it while going to work on the farm. What would stop me from wearing any of these dresses will depend on how it's designed and how I'd feel or look when I put it on.

I like this plastic dress because it would suit me,
Madonna would wear this dress,
I am proud to wear this dress for a soiree,
I would look beautiful.
I don't like agent provocateur dress,
A prostitute would wear it,
This dress is sexy and attracts men,
And I don't want that.

The best dress I like is the Spanish dress. A rich woman would wear this dress to a party. I would feel beautiful if I wore this dress. I would go to a party. People would say wow! she is beautiful. The dress I like the least is the punk dress. A bad lady would wear this dress when she goes to the pub. Nothing would stop me from wearing any of this dresses.

I would wear it to church.

I don't like 1980 vintage dress because it is short.
A young woman might wear it when she goes to a party.
I am not allowed in my culture to wear any of these dresses.
