I am transitioning my wardrobe, and enjoying my femininity more and more. Everyone asks where I am going, but most of the time it's a trip to the store or trash can. It feels empowering to look tidy, even if the task isn't glamorous.

Hi Nikki, you always look so presentable in your dresses. My favorite thing about wearing dresses is that they are a complete outfit all in one and you don't need to put too much thought into it. I love your conviction here! xx

I wear mostly skirts and dresses, they feel very “me” and I find them so much easier to wear and combine than trousers. Whenever I do wear trousers, my family and boyfriend are pleasantly surprised by my figure haha! I rarely wear skirts & dresses above the knee anymore. Over the years, I’ve adapted so much to a more elegant & vintage length that I feel exposed in things that are tighter and shorter. Sometimes I do wear trousers around the house just to bring a smile of surprise to my family & boyfriend’s faces 💛 The thing I love most about looking dressed up, is comments from elderly people 🥺 they always say I look lovely and ask me what the occasion is. Melts my heart.

I grew up wearing skirts & blouses but pants to mow the lawn as we didn’t catch the grass. Now, we exclusively dress in skirts or dresses. At 52, a skirt and jacket is most flattering to my body because of scoliosis and having 7 children (& 8 miscarriages.) I like the opportunity to mix and match items since I have 2 daily skirts, 2 dressy skirts and an older backup skirt. Two cardigans, 2 blazers and a handful of tops gives me many options for 4 different seasons. Thanks for sharing, Nikki. Julie 🌷

I LOVE feeling feminine and old fashioned. I do not mind standing out from every one else and i get so many compliments even though i am not dressing to get attention. I embrace my womanhood and am unashamed to show that i want to be treated like a lady...

When I was in high school, I loved dresses and skirts and would have worn them everyday, but instead limited myself to once a week. The reason for that was because I hated dealing with all of the comments, "Why are you so dressed up!?" or "Wow! Aren't you the fancy one!" Stuff like that. I got so sick of it that I swore to myself that when I graduated from high school I would never wear pants again! True to my word, that is exactly what I did. I probably didn't put on a pair of pants or jeans for two years. Then slowly, jeans and pants began to creep back into my wardrobe. But recently since finding you and Jennifer Scott, I have gotten really intentional about my wardrobe again. About a year and a half ago I gave up pants all together, and like you, after some trial and error, have come to the conclusion that it's all about dresses. I don't want to fuss with anything else. Dresses look the best. They stand alone. They are easy to work in....you never have to adjust yourself, they are flattering. Throw on an apron and you can clean the bathroom, take the apron off and you're good to go out for dinner. Plus I just feel great! And they take about 5 seconds to throw on and then you are so put together. I think it is so worth it for women to go through some trial and error and find the cut/fabrication of dress that suits your body and just go with that. Instead of being limiting, it is the most liberating thing ever!

Like you, I also wear dresses every day. Some years ago I asked myself - what do you feel best in, and the answer was very clear: dresses. I also enjoy my undergarments, but I love wearing ones made of silk. For me they represent a daily luxury feeling, as does putting on parfume😊.

All I wear for the last 20 ish years is dresses and skirts. Nothing above the knee. I also wear lacy bloomers every day. I designed and sew them myself. I have ones I make out of slip material for spring summer and cotton ones for fall winter. I make them flattering with darts at the waist and back. They are so cute and comfortable. I have bloomers I wear out in the garden as well. These are longer and thicker but no less frilly or lacy. :)

I like anything flaring out in an a line so long as it has a yoke or at least is structurally fitted at the waist and top of hip area. I have to have that structure or yoke or it looks like I have a roll where I don't. Just my body type (pear shape but not overly so).

I love being really feminine. I started to grow out my hair out 10 years ago. It's well below hip length now. I trim off a few inches per year because scraggly ends. But I am determined to get it at least below my bottom. I'd really like to get it to knee length though. Haha. It's a bit of work but not annoyingly so. I keep it in a long braid down my back 90 percent of the time.

I love your channel so much. I feel you are a motivating and positive place to spend some time. I very much feel kindred with you. I am very domestic also. And I love to serve my hubby and my family and make their lives happy and healthy. I feel so fulfilled when my man comes home from his 14 hour shift and I can hug him and take his coat for him and make him tea and have a wholesome, healthy and delicious home cooked meal ready with the house all clean. He shouldn't have to worry about a thing at home and be able to trust that I am putting in the hours here so he can relax and spend time with the kid and just be.

Thank you for making videos!!!

Out of modesty (I’m going to become a nun one day), I’m transitioning to only wearing a long black skirt and black shirts, and a black dress for Mass. But I have heard from other young women that after choosing to only wear skirts/dresses, that men treated them more nicely.

[anazagmester]

Dear Nikki, I must say that I'm finding more and more channels where ladies talk about wearing dresses or no pants. It's a new normal 😁

[flapdoodlecacklberry]

I discovered the beauty of wearing only dresses over 10 years ago. This is how I always dress when I go out of my home. I prefer the fitted bodice and flared skirt look as well. I keep warm in my cold climate by dressing with layers of tights and thigh high cashmere socks. Also a beautiful fitted wool coat is essential. You have inspired me so much to also dress beautifully at home. Until this year I wore yoga pants at home but now have three beautiful and flattering house dresses. Thank you for all that you share!

[gaudiumrome]

Haven't owned pants in 5 years. One of the best decisions I made in my young adult life.

[jennyl]

I also wear dresses almost 100% of the time. My four-year-old daughter is also very feminine and personally offended by the idea of wearing jeans or any other type of pants. What a lovely, inspiring video for both of us:-) The only thing I would have done to improve it would have been adding pictures of your favorite dresses, or you modeling the dresses.

[talladegaspringsfirstbapti]

I have been wearing dresses only for a couple years now. I was very hesitant to start, but I have always loved wearing dresses. So one day I packed my pants up and said I would only wear dresses for one month. After the month was over I could not imagine ever going back to pants. ♡♡♡ For me I just feel prettier in dresses. ♡♡♡

I'm making the transition to dresses, skirts and Caftans. I love them. Each new dress I purchase, I release a piece of clothing that will not be apart of my wardrobe any longer. It's been easier since we are home from the office. You linked some beautiful slips I did order 1 from Amazon, I'm awaiting its arrival. I'm wearing nightgowns again too. It's all apart of the whole reemergence of my femininity. I'm loving it.💕💗🌷

I have an anxiety disorder that means it’s probably impossible for me to relax but when I see videos like yours I feel so at peace, I can’t wait until I finish school and my life mirrors yours ❤️

[ccsnowflake]

I went to 100% dresses in my 10 item wardrobe inspired by Jennifer L. Scott back in Feb. 2020 and will never look back. Even living in Idaho where we have snow and ice 6 months out of the year, I'm living proof you can wear dresses and look presentable and ladylike no matter the weather. :)

Hi Nikki, your videos are wonderfully done! I am in my late 60s and have had a career in public education for 46 years . . . 35 teaching high school and now in my 11th year teaching part time at a local college. Like you, I'm a dress gal. I find for my body a tailored back-zip dress flatters my figure the most (usually with Spanx underneath!) After the first few weeks of the semester, I am usually approached by a young woman who tells me how much she admires that I dress so well. At age 68, that is a marvelous compliment! Glad to see a younger gal who likes dresses, too!

[donnanalley]

When I was little girl, all the women in my family wore dresses with slips. We all made sure our slips did not show. To stay warm In the winter, our dresses were made of a heavier material. The adult women stockings were thicker and us younger girls wore either knee socks or knitted tights.

[beverlymitchell]

I’ve been wearing dresses 100% of the time for one month now and have never been happier! I realized ga throughout my life I’ve always felt the happiest in a dress or skirt - actually quite joyful! So why not deal that good everyday! I personally love cotton dresses for everyday and only wear polyester or rayon for dressier occasions.
