I’m likely too late, but my vote would be for a classic dress that would fall into the Little ___ Dress category. Insanely flattering and can be worn out to dinner without worrying about it fitting at the end of the meal!

It has to be able to swirl :)

My perfect dress is like the 3 buzz-words that would describe my style: TIMELESS, ELEGANT, and WITH A TWIST. It could be convertible (so it can be worn in multiple ways), to maximize usage and wear-opportunities. It should be comfortable enough (so not too tight) and yet structured enough to flatter. It should not hold any feature that is too exaggarated or too shout-out. It should be made with a fabric that will last – I hate finding my “perfect dress” only to discover that it looks poor after only few wash cycles. It should be something that nobody else has, but i guess that can be easily achieved when sewing your own clothes… What I’m trying to say that it should not be a complete knock-off of something seen on the runways.
How about that list? Seems harder than finding the perfect guy!

A perfect dress looks as good on the inside as the outside. It fits comfortably and makes me look my best. It could be an afternoon dress, a work dress, or a formal. I am 61inches tall but not petite. My challenges are with proportion and selecting patterns that are easy to make, “curvy”. In addition, I am way past 40 years of age and I need to select clothing that is not too young, nor too old.

The perfect dress is made out of the perfect pattern and perfect stitches.

The perfect fit. If it fits it’s wearer perfectly, any dress would become the perfect dress. Or at least almost any dress.

The perfect dress is all about the perfect fit. For me, it also needs to be a timeless design that can be updated or adapted to suit many occasions.

I think that a perfect dress obviously fits the person wearing it: no strange puckers or slumpy lines. But I also think it should have visual lines that draw the eye at various points, whether it’s the body lines or the embellishments or key accents.

My perfect dress would be cutesy. With a peterpan collar, some kind of quirkey print and a sinched in waist. Either that or an all over sequin sheath dress!

I think the perfect dress is unique to each person.

The perfect dress is one that hides your flaws and accentuates your positives.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.10 PMby kittelisa
Definitely a cute fabric and a girly shape. That make me feel really femenine. :)
Dec 4, 2011, 07.37 PMby representativekelly
what you think makes a perfect dress … I think that’s (right material + right style) giving you confidence! Fit.

The perfect dress would be one of a vintage feel, preferably the late 50’s early-mid 60’s. it would have a dirndel skirt, and would be in a lovely shade of green that would bring out the green in my eyes….. It would make any lady feel pretty and it would fit any shape and size- Kind of like the “Traveling Pants”!

My perfect dress is long and flowing cut on a bias, hugging curves in a classic fashion, of course I would like a body to go with that dress….

The Perfect dress for me is the dress that makes me feel comfortable, a dress that perfectly fit and flows beautifully. A dress that makes me feel shine from the rest and makes me feels good.
Dec 4, 2011, 04.50 PMby spktme
My perfect dress makes me feel beautiful it covers and flows over the areas I’m less self assured about and makes the most out of my attributes. For me that is covering that terrible under arm skin and showing off my legs and waist.
Dec 4, 2011, 03.21 PMby Natalshok
Perfect dress is in which I feel myself beautiful!!!
Dec 4, 2011, 02.51 PMby eckypucky
I’m disabled and have some major skin issues so the perfect dress for me is one made of a soft cotton knit, relaxed fit, v-neck, with nice deep pockets. Short sleeved for winter and sleeveless for summer is ideal for me. A nice soft print or even a solid because I love to carry a wacky handbag or use my wackyprint bag on my walker. Gotta have a touch a wacky! :o)

The perfect dress makes you feel fabulous while at the same time it should be forgiving in all the right places. I prefer simple and classic lines, something that is not too trendy but can be worn for years and not look dated!
Dec 4, 2011, 02.26 PMby peaudane
The perfect dress has a relaxed look and pockets. It’s a dress I could wear everyday, not once in a blue moon!
Dec 4, 2011, 01.57 PMby drainl
I love long sleeveless dresses made with a light fabric.
Dec 4, 2011, 01.18 PMby Purplerachel
The perfect dress always makes you feel feminine and stylish… and it is the dress that you want to wear everywhere! What makes it the perfect dress is the design and details that make it “you”.
Dec 4, 2011, 12.57 PMby littlejay
I think the perfect dress is made out of the perfect fabric. And also, I like pockets. ;-)
Dec 4, 2011, 12.45 PMby qml347
the pefecr dress to me is definitely fit as most people commented. It is also color and how it make me feel whether sexy,flirty or girly and of course fabric. I always buy fabric but never know what i am going to do with it or buy for something specific but use it for something else. I always go to my closet and pick someththing i am not sure about buy like, but once i am done with the project and put it on like a dress i am shocked at how it looks and make me feel. even if it has a lttle flaw i am still a novice it is perfect to me.
Dec 4, 2011, 09.25 AMby roubidou
the perfect dress will look perfect on nobody but you.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.10 AMby gibbylet
The perfect dress doesn’t wrinkle, and it can be dressed up a bit, or dressed down a bit, but just a bit either way. It’s eye catching but not enough so that if you wear it a couple weeks later people are going to be oh it’s THAT dress again!
Dec 4, 2011, 06.35 AMby mismis777
The perfect dress fits well and makes the wearer feel fabulous no matter what!
