Yes I do definitely do the layering under dresses things but certainly not with a horrid pinafore thing like that Kew link you posted
It suits me - I'm quite tall and broad shouldered - polo necks, long sleeved t-shirts, dresses under dresses all suit me really well.
I have even bought a layered winter coat.
Oh, and I finally found a rabbit fur gilet that wasn't outrageously priced - more layering...
