Ladies like to show their shoes.<br />So complete ground-skimming lengths aren't going to universally pleasing. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pdl#post-921069 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:02:03 +0000 rachylou 921069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What an interesting thought! Why does #2 look off? Is it length or overall style?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pdl#post-920987 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:33:47 +0000 Astrid 920987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have no idea if there's a thing as perfect dress length, but I agree with you. To me #1 looks good, while #2 seems too short.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pdl#post-920972 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:18:49 +0000 Liz A. 920972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is there such a thing as perfect dress length?&nbsp; Like when it comes to maxis or gowns, do you have a preference for how close they fall to the ground?<br /><br />I'm with you on PPL and always have been before I even found YFL.&nbsp; I think that having short legs, I just became used to the look of pants and dresses falling so long.&nbsp; So to my eye, dress 1 looks right and dress 2 looks too short.<br /><br />Is this just me?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Johnny-Was-Collection-Printed-Georgette-Maxi-Dress/prod155950255/?ecid=NMCIGoogleProductAds&amp;ci_sku=prod155950255skuMULTI&amp;ci_gpa=pla" rel="nofollow">dress 1</a><br /><a href="http://www.dillards.com/product/Calvin-Klein-Washed-Iris-Printed-Maxi-Dress_301_-1_301_503698408?cm_mmc=GooglePLAs-_-Calvin-Klein-_-Dresses-_-Calvin-Klein-Washed-Iris-Printed-Maxi-Dress" rel="nofollow">dress 2</a>
