Really? Dresses are the least efficient way to pack light because you have to take a new one for each day of the trip. With jeans/shorts/skirts, that is not necessary.

I think there's a tipping point, where dresses are better for super-short trips and separates are better for longer trips. (The relative volume also matters - slinky dresses versus bulky pants, or foofy dresses versus simple skirts.)

Ah, I think the material of my dresses may factor into this. I tend to go for slinky, crumple-able material and above-the-knee styles, so my dresses are so light I can usually stuff them into small handbags if necessary.
