- Everybody is looking straight at my vagina.
(upbeat music)
- Hey y'all, it's Destinee,
and today I'm here to try on a workout dress.
- I go to the gym six days a week.
I split it into two back and biceps days,
two leg days, and then I'll do chest,
shoulders and triceps on the other days.
- My goal is to workout at least
in the gym five days a week.
I'll do like cardio, I'll do strength training.
- I workout in leggings, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts.
That's really just what I go in.
It's comfortable, it gets the job done,
I don't feel like anything's too exposed.
- Now I want to be a girl that goes into the gym
with like the matching bra and the matching pants, but I...
No, I don't have matching bra matching pants money.
I have straight up cotton leggings and a cotton t-shirt.
- I think working out in a dress will be
kind of uncomfortable.
So I'm gonna be like pulling down on the hem,
pulling up on the neck.
- I just hope I look like Serena Williams in this.
(electronic music)
- I feel kind of weird and outside of
my normal comfort zone in this.
It's got good compression to it,
and the skirt length is pretty long.
So I'm happy with that.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh.
It's a whole little shindig down here, okay.
Now that I'm in the dress, I'm not mad at it,
it feels comfy.
Do I think this will be okay to workout in?
I don't know.
- So normally I wear sports bras,
I need those to keep everything together.
I don't necessarily feel like I'm gonna fall out
but I do feel like I'll be really self conscious
when I'm bending down to do anything.
- I was on the cusp of this fitting my hips,
and I feel cusped.
- It is pretty comfortable, I am surprisingly comfortable.
I can do stuff like that, just like woo.
- We don't have a mirror here but
I imagine this, you just see...
You thought you got a surprise.
(cheeky laughter)
- It's gonna be weird.
- It's time to go pump some iron.
(upbeat music)
- So I'm walking to the gym, I have this dress on.
I already feel like I don't like my legs showing.
- I have realized that I am very self conscious
in the fact that I'm wearing a dress in the gym.
I found myself in the sauna like having my legs crossed,
because I was like I need to be a lady.
- I am so used to not having to think five times
before bending over to get a dumbbell,
and I'm not comfortable not wearing a bra.
And I thought this dress would be kind of okay
because it feels like it kind of compresses everything,
but nah, not enough.
- I'm here doing this hip adductor exercise,
and I'm just like everybody's looking straight at my vagina.
So I keep having to like adjust the dress, like this.
It's not good.
- I've noticed that the shorts really ride up.
So every time I'm about to start an exercise I have to
focus on pulling down my shorts before I begin.
- Here's the thing about this outfit, right.
The dress itself, very cute.
Working out in the gym, it's just not for me.
And like the spandex,
I feel like I'm constantly adjusting them.
Thick girl problems of just clothes always riding.
Wearing this dress has been nothing but a (bleep).
I hate being here, I feel really exposed.
Not happy.
- I've seen a couple double takes.
I was like yes, yes sir,
I'm doing it, I'm doing it in a dress.
Now I'm supposed to go see how this'll hold up,
if I can actually transition from gym to regular life.
We'll see.
- So I wore the workout dress to work with some sneakers,
to make it a little bit more practical,
a little bit more me.
I threw a cardigan on top of it.
It's not very sweaty because I did not
get a good workout in.
It feels a little bit more normal at work
because it's just like a regular dress
and people can't tell that it's a workout dress.
So I feel like this is more the environment for it,
especially on like a warm day.
- I pretty much, just to make it look casual,
threw on a bomber and left the exact same
shoes that I had on.
(camera shutter)
But for the most part nobody could tell
that I had worked out in this dress.
- I love this dress, it's like very
short and flirty, which I appreciate.
And just, you look good.
- [Destine] What if I told you
I worked out in it this morning?
- Is that like a workout thing?
I die.
- [Destinee] And the thing is,
I was gross and sweaty this morning,
and in like an hour it dried up.
- Wow.
Yeah fooled me.
- [Destinee] What do you think of this dress?
- Ooh.
Damn, dude.
You can workout in that?
Dude, that's wild.
- [Destinee] Yeah.
- I can't imagine seeing that at the gym, dude.
- [Destinee] It was weird, I definitely feel like
I saw some people looking at me like I was weird.
- I'm confused, but it's a look.
And if you feel good working out in that,
(bleep) power to you.
- It's cute, it's just not work appropriate.
(laughter)
- [Destinee] 'Cause it's short?
- It is.
I mean your hoo-ha is almost out.
But you have shorts on so it's fine.
I would have never guessed that
this was like a workout thing though.
Like no, like 100%, I just assumed it was a little dress.
- For $100, that's a lot of money to spend on a dress
that doesn't like really hold you in.
- It is worth the price for a dress
that you could workout in and then
like just go on about your day with.
- So would I wear this dress again?
I wouldn't wear it to the gym.
On a regular day, yes, I would.
- I really like it for like actually wearing out in public.
I feel held in.
The fact that it's like spandex all the way up to here
is really really nice.
But just for me, working out in it, I couldn't do it.
I just always felt like I had to be like a lady.
- The shorts kept riding up, the U neck kept slipping down,
and I was just concerned about
exposing myself to everyone at the gym.
- There are some exercises that you can do,
like when I was doing the squats or the stair master,
I was like this is normal, this is everyday.
But doing like the adductor and everything else,
I was like, I'm showing my vagina to the world.
- I wouldn't wear it to the gym ever again,
it was not comfortable.
- But as far as casual wear, she will be back.
She will be back.
