And Angie, even though I am nowhere near as elegant as your sweet Mum, this dress reminds me of something she might have worn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/70s-maxiformal-leave-at-ankle-length-or-let-out-to-floor-length#post-420277 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 13:17:11 +0000 Suz 420277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that hem could go down a bit. But either way, it's yet ANOTHER fantastic find and looks super on you! </p> <p>I do understand about wanting those shoes to show. They are lovely, too! And also, if it would make it easier to walk, just leave it be. I think if I were letting it down, I agree with others - I wouldn't put it quite to the floor, but just an inch or two down, letting some shoe/foot peek through. It might not be worth the bother for that, though. </p> <p>I left my own formal bottom-of-ankle length instead of hemming UP as Angie had suggested. I loved it that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/70s-maxiformal-leave-at-ankle-length-or-let-out-to-floor-length#post-420253 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 12:30:50 +0000 Sona 420253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in favor of letting the hem down a bit more but no matter what you choose you 'own' this look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/70s-maxiformal-leave-at-ankle-length-or-let-out-to-floor-length#post-420224 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 10:12:04 +0000 san 420224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way it is, shows off your beautiful ankles and shoes.

Is it sparkly???? I think I would lengthen it a bit to make it look more like formal wear, rather than a sun-dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/70s-maxiformal-leave-at-ankle-length-or-let-out-to-floor-length#post-420152 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 02:35:25 +0000 rae 420152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ACK!

I like it as is but also wonder about letting it out about halfway to full length. I really don't know what is the correct length for long gowns but tried on several today and they all seemed to fall between the length of yours and full length. I'll be watching this thread for answers.<br /> It's a gorgoeus gown and soooo MaryK with all the beautiful colors. Fab find!<br /> I vote Yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/70s-maxiformal-leave-at-ankle-length-or-let-out-to-floor-length#post-420143 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 02:23:36 +0000 MsMary 420143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang! Forgot to add the poll and now it won't let me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/70s-maxiformal-leave-at-ankle-length-or-let-out-to-floor-length#post-420139 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 02:18:38 +0000 MsMary 420139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I discovered a new resale/vintage clothing store today and scored an AMAZING ca. 70s long gown that I plan to wear on "formal night" on my upcoming cruise. It hits me just about at the bottom of my ankle bone, which leaves all of my feet and shoes showing. It has a very deep hem so I could have it let down if I so desired.</p> <p>I'm inclined to leave it as is, and Hubby agrees. What do you all think?</p> <p>Yay = leave as is, with feet and sandals showing<br /> Nay = let it out to floor length </p>
