Pockets in dresses?

[Tel12]

Pockets in dresses - why? They tend to be made into the seams directly in line with the hips, accentuating unnecessarily. What are people putting in there anyway? A tissue? Loose change?

Just hands in mine. Don’t know why, it just feels comfy.

airpods, my phone.

I wish more women's clothing had pockets!

I never put anything in pockets. It spoils the line of the clothes.

Exactly! Isn't that what a bag is for?

I think they look awful in dresses, they make your hips look bigger 😅 I avoid dresses with pockets

Same with formal trousers that skim the hips

I wouldn't buy a dress (or anything) without pockets. Even my pjs have pockets.

I don't carry a bag all the time so keys, tissues, phone, dog biscuits, hair slides, shopping list, credit card - not all at once.

I never buy dresses without pockets. Phone, key and lipgloss. Don’t own any handbags.

Dresses with pockets are elite!

Some of us are less worried about “looking like we have something in our pockets” than others? I mean honestly if you can’t imagine why someone would need to be able to move around without a handbag I suspect you live in a bizarrely niche world of the limply feminine.

I don’t like pockets either. I might not reject a dress completely because of them, but I don’t get the love. Anything in them spoils the line or gives you a lump.

Although hands in pockets is great for a little swish. Or a pose at the bar.

I quite like them as long as they don’t, as you say, unnecessarily accentuate the hip. It just depends on the cut of the dress.

If I need to be active I’m probably in trousers (which suit pockets) and not a dress.

Limply feminine?! Oh do fuck off.

This.

Who wants to permanently have a bag? Or worse, those phone lanyards.

This accurately sums up how I feel/react when I realise my dress has pockets....

I love my new dress because it has pockets.
Just being able to put a tissue or my phone or my hands in there and going 'look pockets!' to whoever will listen -is the best.
I don't care about lines and style though & if I did I might feel differently.

I love pockets in dresses. I don't care if it ruins the line. If I am in a hotel for example, I am going down to dinner I can put my phone and key-card in there, that is all I need, I don't need to faff with a bag.

I love that. She is me.

Oh a summer day though, taking the dog round the block or popping to the shop you can just slip what you need in the pocket. No need for a bag. No need to change into trousers.

Even better are deep pockets that actually fit a phone or whatever without fear of the item falling out.

I only ever buy clothes with pockets. Safer and more convenient than a bag.

I don’t buy dresses without pockets , love a pocket

I was marvelling today when I realised my new shorts have pockets. Bloody love pockets.

I don’t find them useful on dresses.

But there’s nothing nicer than an inner pocket on a jacket or coat - those really can obviate the need for a bag, sometimes.

I hate them too. Pointless.
