To wonder how women wear dresses in the heat

Please can someone help! How on earth are most people wafting about in dresses in the heat?

I'm a U.K. 12 and if I wear dresses in the summer with normal pants my thighs rub together so badly, it's impossible to walk more than 5 minutes!

I have chub rub pants which are great and I put up with how sweaty they make me, but they are absolutely not suitable for a holiday where I'm wearing little beach dresses etc and it's very hot.

I've tried thigh gel in the past and found it makes no difference, it rubs off right away.

Is this just me? I'm slightly overweight but not a lot and find this happens even when I'm slimmer.

I wear the chub rub shorts from snag tights. I don't find they overheat me. Dress and chub rub shorts is much cooler than trousers.

I can't wear trousers comfortably at the best of times

I think some people have wider hips and so thighs don't meet in the middle

Wear cycling shorts underneath

I wear dresses in this sort of heat.

I'm pretty overweight but my thighs don't rub. To be fair I don't walk much either.

I find I get horribly hot in t shirt and trousers.
