I think dresses are perfect for dates, especially first dates. Now obviously dresses don't work for every date, like if you're going rock climbing or hiking. But for dinner, drinks, etc dresses are great. They're feminine and sexy and you can find one perfect for your date and body.
In case you're going to a restaurant for the first time and are unsure of the dress code, you won't be under dressed if you're wearing a dress. Plus, they're cute. You can show off your best feature based on the type of dress you choose whether it's your slim waist, sexy legs or voluptuous cleavage.

There are a million more dresses out there that can work for dates, but the most important thing about picking a dress for a date is that you're comfortable. If a dress is too short, too low cut or is just plain uncomfortable, you'll be distracted with adjusting the dress rather than being focused on the date. In addition, a too short and too low cut dress might be too distracting for your date as well; you want him to be focused on your conversation rather than staring at your chest.
