    Not at all! I'd wear a dress as long as it's comfortable and your shoes are too since you may be walking a lot. Since I've lost weight, I even wear one while camping! Have fun!

    Not weird at all. Little sundresses are comfy and a great way to stay cool. Nice breeze.... :laugh:

    No harm in lookin' cute while you walk around the zoo.

    Agreed!

    A sun dress with flip flops or cute flats would be perfect. I don't see anything wrong with it!
    I personally wouldn't cuz my thighs would rub together and that would HURT after walking all day. BUT I think it'd look good!

    I think he was thinking like a short dress or a tight dress ... probably the first thing he thought of when you say "dress". But a flowy summery sun dress would be nice!!

    I wore a Sundress to the Cincinnati Zoo last week. It was cooler and more comfy than anything else I own. Do it!

    I'd personally go with shorts because I tend to do a lot of bending and kneeling and squatting while looking at things/helping my daughter look at things in their cages and pens. But I don't think a dress would be out of place or weird at all. :)

    I don't think a sun dress/mumu & sun hat are out of place at all at a zoo. If it's a dress you'd wear to church, that might be a little weird.

    Just as long as your comfortable and are able to walk around in your dress. Go for it. I live for skirts and dresses!

    Maybe, he thinks it is weird, because he doesn't see you in a dress that often? just a thought

    Absolutely fine for a warm summer day.... but not something you'd wear to a nightclub or a wedding, that would be wierd!

    I love how a woman looks in a dress, especially a sundress for casual. That said, of course it wouldn't be out of place.

    Now if I wore a dress to the zoo or anywhere else... yeah that would be weird except in Scotland.
    AHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHA "its no a dress, I tell ya. Its a bloody kilt!!!"

    There have been more than a few times when my boyfriend told me something I was wearing was "weird," but then I ended up getting tons of compliments on the outfit from other people. Just sayin'. ;)

    I think a dress with some cute sandals or flats would be a rocking outfit for a day outside in the sunshine!

    My daughter and I went to the zoo last Friday and I saw a lot of women wearing summer dresses, so no I don't think it would look out of place. I personally wore walking shorts, a t-shirt and some very comfortable tennis shoes. Here in NC the temperature was close to 90 at the zoo. So, dress coolly (personal choice), wear comfortble walking shoes, have plenty of water on hand and have fun!!

    I have to agree that it would be fine to wear a dress to the zoo, especially a cute sundress. Your husband may think it is weird because he is not use to seeing you in dresses or only seeing you wear one when you are getting dressed up. My sister wears dresses/skirts in place of shorts and I have to tell you she always looks very cute. I have been buying more skirts and dresses for the warm weather.

    Some one had mentioned the problem with thighs rubbing together... baby powder. I always keep a small bottle in my purse. and it is not a problem at all.

    Have fun at the zoo!

    A summer dress would be appropriate, and very cute! As long as you're not rocking heels and a little black dress-you're good to go! I love wearing summer dresses :)

    Not at all. There are lots of really nice sun dresses (and sun hats) available that will help you stay cool and comfortable while you stroll around.

    in fact, it could look very classy.
