Washington - Sexy actress Jessica Alba, who recently has been voted the celeb men would most like to pucker up with, has revealed she dresses more for women than men.

The Sin City star has claimed she's not a "mini-skirt-and-cleavage-girl", as she only plays one on the big screen.

"I never dress for men-I dress more for women," TMZ.com quoted her, as telling the November issue of Elle magazine.

"I'm guilty of wearing too many sweatsuits. I have such long hours that I want to be in my pajamas," she added.

Alba, who's made a career out of baring her curvy physique in sexy roles like "Sin City" and "Into the Blue," further told the magazine that even she has image issues, stemming from a four-year stint as a born-again Christian.

"Older men would hit on me and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't," said Alba.

"It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman," the actress was quoted as saying.
