    Default dressing sense/dress sense

    She has a good dressing sense/dress sense.

    I like her dressing sense/dress sense.

    Which one of the phrases is correct?

    If both are correct, can either be used interchangeably or do they have different usages?

    Please clarify.

    Thanks.

    She has (a) good dress sense.

    I like her dress sense.

    These are acceptable The article is not necessary in the first.

    The second is a little strange. If you say that she has good dress sense, that already implies that you like it.
