Dress
Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About never having anything to wear when you feel like you have to look nice. I mean I have my Favorite outfit consisting of my green holly hobby dress with the pink buttons, pink ballet tights
Do my docs and my hello kitty barrettes.
More the aerial ones, but you can only let someone see you with a dress like that around your neck
Once.
The lyrics of Bif Naked's song "Dress" relay a relatable experience of many individuals - the frustration of not having anything to wear when it is necessary to look good. This is exemplified through a reference to a scene in a television show, where Rosanne is depicted as being upset because she has to attend a party and has nothing appropriate to wear. Although her husband isn't very sympathetic, writer Bif Naked expresses empathy for Rosanne's situation, as she too feels the same way at times.
The writer then goes on to describe her favorite outfit, which consists of a green holly hobby dress with pink buttons, pink ballet tights, her Doc Martens, and hello kitty barrettes. While it is obvious that this outfit is not appropriate for every occasion, it is clear that the writer finds comfort and confidence in it. The reference to "aerial ones" suggests that this outfit may be a bit too eccentric for everyday wear, and that the writer might have only dared to wear it once in a risky fashion statement.
Thus, the lyrics of "Dress" convey the anxiety of dressing up and the challenge that comes with finding the perfect outfit. It is a song that speaks to the struggle of trying to fit in, while still maintaining our own unique personality and style.

Watching Rosanne on TV, I can empathize with her frustration of having nothing to wear to a party with an unsympathetic partner like Dan. I can relate to feeling the same way.

I prefer the aerial (presumably referring to Ariel from The Little Mermaid?) barrettes, but I can only wear them if I have a dress that complements them around my neck.
