Women: under what circumstances would you wear a dress?

I wear dresses all the time. It really depends on the type of dress. Just wear a casual dress (above the knee with a light fabric) with flip flops, sandals, converse, boots, or MAYBE flats. Don't wear heels or anything that would make it seem dressy. If you want you can add a scarf, jeans jacket, sweater, or something like that so the dress won't be too dressy. Just dress it down, and don't wear anything formal with it.
