I am going to bring a few favorites to the tailor to see if they are worth the money, tailors around here charge more than 5.00 unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-length-anything#post-29489 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:59:27 +0000 ImogenL 29489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ankle length lends itself to frumpiness - shorten the skirts to knee length if they're in great condition and otherwise look current, Otherwise let them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-length-anything#post-29452 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 02:29:08 +0000 Antje 29452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greenglove, you could also try shortening them if the style lends itself to it. I just commented on Friday's blog about wardrobe orphans by saying that I had an orphan dress (ankle length) shortened to knee length and look forward to wearing it again. My tailor only charged me $5 for this alteration (it was an uncomplicated hem, and no other changes needed.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-length-anything#post-29306 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:35:29 +0000 greenglove 29306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, It will be tough but more room in my closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-length-anything#post-29302 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:23:51 +0000 Angie 29302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry (sad face). Just can't condone ankle length skirts, or maxi dresses. It's not a flattering look, and an utter waste on your rocking hot bod! Please say goodbye to these items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-length-anything#post-29301 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:15:03 +0000 greenglove 29301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am starting the dreaded closet clean out for season change and I have quite a few bias cut and tulip ankle length skirts that I have always thought were flattering shapes for me. I like the romantic, graceful thing that goes on. I am a slim rectangle, hourglass top and slight inverted triangle. I know pictures will help and I will be posting soon with coat decisions but are ankle lengths outdated? I know Angie says no to petites but I am 5' 6". Any thoughts? </p>
