I'm so happy to find a dress that is mostly the right length for me that it's hard to actually work toward having any kind of trendy hemline or having one kind of dress this year and another the next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423744 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 18:49:44 +0000 Anonymous 1423744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well,&nbsp;<b>Rachylou</b>, my MIL apparently thinks there's such a thing as skinny knees. A few months ago, she was complaining that my FIL needed to gain more weight (he doesn't; he just isn't overweight like her), and said he didn't have any meat on his knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423724 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 18:17:49 +0000 rachylou 1423724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I'm sick of looking at everyone's fat knees... Hehe.</p> <p>Yes! I just told y'all your knees were fat! Sorry. Work flashback. My boss said I had fat knees once, because I'm so easy to get a rise out of. Hehe. There is no such thing as *knee fat.* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423720 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 18:08:30 +0000 Helena 1423720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for asking this question ... I just bought a couple of maxis and wasn't sure if they were going to be "out" by summer ... I'm guessing maybe not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423713 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 17:32:15 +0000 Angie 1423713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, no - quite the opposite, Claudia. Hemlines on the catwalks are generally a LOT longer than they are at retail.&nbsp;This trend has been going on for years (and I don't understand why). I watch hundreds of shows across all four fashion capitals every fashion season,&nbsp;and the trend has definitely been towards the midi.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423710 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 17:30:46 +0000 Janet 1423710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that's the case, my current habit of ignoring skirts in the stores will be even more justified. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423705 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 17:23:47 +0000 ATLynn 1423705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the complete other end of the spectrum, I was just flipping through the H&amp;M spring/summer catalog (there is some fun stuff by the way - I'm plotting a bargain spring weight loss capsule) . &nbsp; I definitely noticed short skirts and dresses that would be considered a tunic at best on 5'5"ish me. &nbsp; But there were also many pencil skirts and more body con&nbsp;dresses in knee and midi length, and a few a-line types at longer lengths as well. &nbsp;So hopefully this means we'll get more hemline&nbsp;<b>variety</b> this year. &nbsp;But I do not recall seeing a single maxi. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423687 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 16:51:15 +0000 Suz 1423687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For myself, I hope not. But hey...we go with the flow.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-hemlines-going-up-up-up#post-1423678 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 16:26:57 +0000 Claudia 1423678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seem to be seeing shorter and shorter hemlines. Lots of dresses and skirts that are a nod to the 1960s. Short shorts, too.&nbsp;Do you think that shorter hemlines are on the upswing in general?&nbsp;</p> <p>Louis Vuitton S/S 2015&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgrRz4qSunY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgrRz4qSunY</a></p> <p> </p>
