Dresses when its raining

Would you?
Im away for a few days and the end of this week, into next and bought some lovely dresses in prep for the glorious UK sunshine. Of course the weather drops by 10 degrees and its now going to be pouring every day we're away.
Its looking to be about 21 degrees but reckon it could feel cooler in the rain.
Am I daft? Are my brand new, sparkling white superga going to get wrecked 🥴🥴🥴

My recent experience of sodden midi dress slapping around my legs after a sudden downpour was not pleasant! On the other hand a short dress and wet legs might be better than wet jeans/trousers.

Yep, wet legs dry quicker than wet jeans - enjoy the dresses!

My thinking was wet skin dries quicker than wet dresses. Kicking myself we never booked this week!

Your skin is waterproof! I wear dresses in the summer, rain or shine.

Just go for knee length or short rather than midi or maxi. It is the fastest way to dry out. Maybe wear sandals or darker coloured trainers to save the white superga.

Definitely don't have the legs for short or knee length. Wish i did! All my dresses are midi im afraid.

Shoes are the problem in rain and dresses

What do you wear?!
