Satrana, I do agree with your points. You describes dressing for the occasion, and commenting on each other's fashion choices, (Where did you find that dress? Was it on sale? What an adorable bag, shoes, etc). All perfectly valid, and it is done in all circles.
What I mean by women not dressing for other women, is when they wear the types of clothes that are designed as bait. You know what I mean. The tight sweater dresses, the plunging necklines, the short skirts, the f***k-me shoes, the skin tight leggings showing off a rounded bootie, the lace camis and sexy patterned stockings, etc. Women don't wear these things for other women.
Busker, I also see your point about a CD needing to learn about fashion and wanting to emulate the looks he likes best. And also being a GM who is visual and attracted to the female form, it makes sense to want to emulate the look that is eye-candy to a guy, more than what a woman wears to go to the grocery store. But CDs also need to realize the effect of the clothes they are wearing. If they wear clothes that send a message, they need to understand that they are appealing to the guys who are attracted to the women who wear these types of clothes. You are correct when you say this will make the woman in the CD's life begin to ask serious questions when her partner dresses like that.
