Definitely HOT! The only people who design without pockets are people who don’t want women to be independent and free of baggage. I love pretty dresses and I’ll spend a lot on them but I never buy them without pockets!

Pockets on skirts and dresses is genius! It’s extremely useful and HOT at the same time. I say keep the pockets on everything….as long as they’re sleek and stylish.

Pockets are so useful on dresses – and so much more elegant to stash your stuff in a pocket than have to carry a bag or leave your stuff somewhere else. Since when does one express girlishness by being without her money and keys?

Fitting pockets nicely into a dress might be a challenge for designers, but so is fitting them into pants and jackets. Here’s a cute example of pockets as a feature:

I’m not sure where you got the idea that pockets were only for pants and shorts. I love pockets in skirts, dresses, jackets and aprons. One should always have a discreet place to tuck a tissue. I’m always looking for pockets in sewing patterns for my own personal use and so does my mother!

i like the idea. Like tonight-I’m going out, don’t want my purse but where am I going to put my lipstick and keys? My husband won’t be with me to use his pockets

dresses with pockets. are wonderful. you can hide all kinds of stuff in your dress. like your keys, change, secret spy-cameras… first aid kits… handi-wipes (you never know just when you’ll come across a leg of fried chicken)

I think dresses with the pocket well-constructed,concealed, and flowy enough to hide things are fantastic. I also own several vintage 50′s dresses with little embroidered things on the front pockets, which make me feel like a little retro housewife. The trend of formal, tight-fitting dresses with pockets, though, I have an issue with. It’s as if they are saying, “Hey! I’m a pocket! Put stuff in me yet let’s hope nobody notices that I look really silly.”

Pockets can be discreet while remaining highly functional. Good dressmakers also make good pockets.

Link is on the flip-side of your argument.
