Revolutionary Dress with more than one pocket

When travelling I usually have a heavy DSLR and lenses, ipad or guide book, sunglasses, reading glasses, ordinary glasses, sunblock, hat, jacket, tissues, heavy wallet, insect spray, keys, phone ... a bag is simply easier.

What irritates me is not so much the lack of pockets on women's clothing, but the fact that his nibs can pop his wallet and passport in his pockets and then ask me to carry his shit for him in the bag (rucksack) I invariably take or rely on me for tissues, sunblock, etc! (Usually, I say 'no').

Ew, polyester.

Couldn’t think of anything worse to wear in the heat.

I like the style of the dress, but I would expect a travel dress to accommodate requirements for modesty - covering bare skin etc. - that exist in many of the places I have been to.

I also expected culottes or something beneath the skirt of the dress. Cycling in a flappy wrap dress???

It's a good idea but I don't like wrap dresses. I'm also not keen on the keyhole opening in the back, as it seems like an open invitation for some awkwardly placed sunburn!

I tend to wear loose cotton or linen trousers when on holiday as I find covering up is a more effective way of preventing sunburn than constantly applying SPF. I've solved the problem of never having decent pockets by buying men's trousers!

That cash and card slot is just your bra.

the problem with this dress is the wrap front, for me this will always reveal a massive amount of cleavage which always has a tedious effect, and more so if travelling I woud assume

A lot of men carry bags. They might not use that awful expression "man bag" but carrying a satchel or a small rucksack is quite normal.

I'm wearing women's trousers that have pockets. They're empty though. My coat does have a couple of nice sized pockets and a useful zip pocket I can stash my keys in because I'm paranoid about losing them, but I still need a bag to carry my massive purse around with me.
I've just never got into the way of using pockets much, and hate them in kids clothes because they always leave a tissue in them that ruins the whole wash.
As far as that dress goes, it's nice enough if you're into dresses. I can't see how much it costs though.

Nearly all of my dresses and jumpsuits have pockets, I find it weird that people are saying it's hard to find them.

But talking pockets... I have a Barbour jacket and thing I love most are the pockets. It's a women's one but same design as a mans. Huge pockets and then hand warmer pockets and an inside zip pocket.

When I compare to any other coat I own where they have teeny pockets your phone doesn't fit into let alone hands in gloves

Can you imagine a men's coat that the pockets were so small?

@LassWiADelicateAir

You clearly don't have my thighs!! 

They touch and so in any heat I can't wear anything but shorts

I do love some extra pockets. I rarely wear dresses but I bought a Boden one in May and have worn it a lot over the last few months simply because it has pockets (I didn't know it when I bought the dress).
I hate carrying a bag.

Dh was horrified to find none of my current coats have inside pockets! It just wouldn't happen with men's clothes.
I don't care if my wallet or phone makes my boobs look wonky, I would like it in an inside pocket for safety.
So often women's clothes are just designed to look nice, whilst mens are so much more practical. 😒

And then there is the big thigh rubbing issues of dresses in hot places

Now this I don't understand at all. How can wearing trousers or shorts be more comfortable than wearing a loose dress or skirt in a lightweight cotton?

The only time I've worn a dress apart from my wedding day (and then only for the ceremony) in the last many years has been while visiting a very hot country where carrying a bag was a big 'mug me' sign. I can absolutely see how this dress would be appreciated by some.

It's obviously just me who thinks it's really cool that women get to carry bags then?

I agree entirely. I like dresses with pockets (Cos and Samantha Sung) dresses have them but I would only use them for hankies/reading specs. For security when travelling, or anywhere really, a cross the body bag with internal zips is far safer than stuffing keys, wallet, phone etc in a pocket. Radley pocket bags are brilliant.

Comfort, and durability are an issue. I'm fed up of things falling to bits while "man" cloths seem to go on for ever

I don't know where this idea of women's clothes not lasting comes from. I have clothes that are years and years old.

I've done lots of travelling and usually wore combat-trousers with a skinny vest / bikini top or fancy top for occasions. Why should women have to wear dainty floaty / figure hugging garments with invisible zips

I've done quite a bit too. I wouldn't be seen dead in "combat trousers with a skinny vest / bikini top or fancy top for occasions".

Why should women have to wear combat-trousers with a skinny vest / bikini top or fancy top for occasions? Question looks daft doesn't it? But no more so than yours.

And the irony of describing this dress as "figure hugging" when your preference is "skinny vest / bikini top" presumably escapes you.

It looks like it is made of plastic, and is unnecessarily low cut.
Natural fibres, loose, and pockets in normal places for me-

It's obviously just me who thinks it's really cool that women get to carry bags then?

The men in my life are always dropping stuff down the backs of chairs, abandoning important junk around the house, checking all the different coats they may have left things in.

Comfort, and durability are an issue. I'm fed up of things falling to bits while "man" cloths seem to go on for ever. Pockets not so fafted about, I'll stick to a bag.

Men wear lipbalm too. Dh and ds both get very sore, chapped lips else. They have pockets to put one in.

I think its a great idea.

I imagine the vpl is horrendous.

Possibly missing the point..

And then there is the big thigh rubbing issues of dresses in hot places.

It's a not from me.

Cos, Arket, &otherstories, uniqlo, j crew - all make women’s clothes with usable pockets in correct places. Particularly liking coats with an inside pocket at the moment.

Not a fan and I can’t see what’s practical about it. Admittedly pretty dresses aren’t really my thing.
