Really? We were in NYC 2 weeks ago and I saw tons of dresses (presumably for work as I saw them on commuters...)
It's one of "those" weeks here in NC (temp high 90s every day, heat index around 120F) so I've been in cotton knit or linen dresses every day for work. Since I work on a university campus, I see everything from exercise capris & sports bras to suits & ties. But lots of my female co-workers wear skirts & dresses, sleeveless shirts with a scarf or cardigan for the a/c. My new officemate is fond of the slim bodice/full skirt dress- and it looks great on her!
ETA - I consider NC the South. But some maps have us as mid-Atlantic - and for some weather, we certainly are....
