I have a chainmail dress I made for a party once. I don't get much opportunity to wear it, but it's great.
Edit: behold, my silly outfit.

Hot damn. Nice chainmail
Hot and damn is right...

Do you find it pinches your skin? I've always wanted to make one for Ren faires.
It could, though, when worn properly, chainmail was always worn over padding. The chain mail blocks piercing attacks, while the padding dealt with concussive forces. An arrow, or sword, has significant amounts of both. Blocking 1 alone wasn't enough.
Basically, it shouldn't be an issue, other than getting hot in the padding. If you're going for a stylish look, use flexible material. Loose weave metallic fabrics give a similar (superficial) look, but don't pinch.
