Hi! I am from Moscow (Russia) and I feel myself comfortable, when I wear PUG or Deadly Dames here. Some people really stare, but it is not so tediously, because many women here wear dresses. You will attract attention even at the concerts, but as Harlow Napalm, said "but only in the good sense". Because women in Moscow like to dress femininely. Last year I had to spend a lot of time in Prague (Czech Republic) and Copenhagen (Denmark). In Prague women dont wear skirts and dresses at all, so I was a little bit afraid to wear PUG. And in Copenhagen women sometimes wear skirts, but it is very rare case. And I havent seen any dresses. Anyway I decided to wear my DD and PUG dresses. Everybody (especially women) stared at me, and not very kindly. So one day,my friend asked me to wear jeans, because he was tired of attention to my dresses(((

I agree with you) I also noticed, that in St Petersburg women prefer to wear casual clothes. In other Russian cities, especially closer to the North of Russia, you will see less women will wearing dresses. And I know only few girls wearing 50-s dresses without special occasion( Too sad(

Born in Italy, raised in Holland.

I am currently living in Amsterdam. And even though Amsterdam is pretty liberal I still do get stares sometimes. I do like the 50s and I do wear that style, but I'm more of a 40s gal. The most pleasant stares are the ones I get are from old(er) people. Sometimes I walk past them in the street and they look at me and start to smile, probably remembering their younger days.

I live in southern California USA in a city named Valencia! I do get the stares where I live because no one really wears a crinole or a big dress! Lol, I love it when people ask me if I'm in costume! There is a huge rockabilly community here, and the scene is big! I'm not really into the scene, I just love the fashion! Most of the time young girls tell me they love my makeup and my clothes, and sometimes older ladies tell me I look adorable! I love when older ladies tell me that! They just stop me, smile and say "Hunny, you look so adorable!" it's cute, and very flattering! My cousin does poke fun of me, but I could care less about his opinion!

I'm from a small town in New Hampshire in the US and I've had mixed responses to dressing up in PUG.  Thankfully, a lot of my friends like to get dressed up for fun so when I break out my cherry print Heidi dress they are doing something special themselves.  However, when I go out on my own sometimes it isn't as pleasant.  When I dressed up for a casual Friday a coworker kept making comments about how I looked. Unkind, passive aggressive statements that she just felt had to be shared almost every hour on the hour.  I'm usually quiet and try to keep my head down and out of the way but all those petty comments were getting to me.  Finally I reached the end of my patience, gave her my biggest smile and said, "Thank you SO much for your thoughts.  Now please go away, you are boring me."  And that was the end of it, haven't heard a peep since.  

Regardless of what you do or do not wear, I'm sure you are lovely and I wish you the best!

It felt really good.  On one hand, some very unhappy people make a point to go around trying to micromanage how someone should look or feel.  On the other, just because someone is a mess, doesn't mean they have the right to make someone else feel bad.
