Ok, I'll leave the second dress alone. I'm glad that it looks okay. </p> <p>Michelle, yes, simple patterned dresses are totally a godsend. I've been wearing the knit dress I got on Toronto a lot too (I wore it when we were having dinner at your place with Celia and Corey.). Totally disguises the fact that I'm really being lazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570940 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 15:42:30 +0000 Michelle 570940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfits like that really are a godsend, aren't they? So glad you at least have one facet of your life that's not causing stress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570925 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 15:07:01 +0000 celia 570925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello gorgeous lady.<br /> That second dress is perfect the way it is.You surely look put together as always even if it is a more effortless way to dress.<br /> Sorry to hear that things are stressful.I am sure something great will come your way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570711 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 03:12:12 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 570711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari - Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but have you tried pinning it up at various lengths just to see how you like it? It might be fun to compare pictures... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570704 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 03:07:42 +0000 Ginny 570704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I.like both of these, fun print, I.am with.you about.dresses they are so easy.and comfyi.have been on the.hunt for.some too,.and.these look great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570606 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 23:58:47 +0000 Mo 570606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are both great dresses! I especially like the print on #2. It may just be that you need to get used to the midi height. I don't think it needs hemming. Great looks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570603 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 23:42:36 +0000 Deborah 570603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are stunning on you. My opinion, FWIW, is that really ant hemline us fine if the overall look is flattering and the proportions work....so I wouldn't touch the hem. The dress is perfect. It's nice to have some variation in our wardrobes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570578 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 23:13:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 570578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you dare touch that hem in #2 Kari - the drape on it is so beautiful on you! These are both fab dresses and will serve you well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570554 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 22:47:11 +0000 Janet 570554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see your WIW again! I love the dress in #2 as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570547 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 22:44:12 +0000 Kari 570547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I think that is a good point that I can always hem it later if I need to. For now I'm glad the length doesn't look so off to make the dress unwearable. Perhaps part of it is an eye adjustment to longer lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570542 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 22:40:17 +0000 san 570542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are nice and I like the hem length on the second one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570405 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:48:01 +0000 biscuitsmom 570405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE BOTH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570402 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:44:25 +0000 annagybe 570402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is great. Leave it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570372 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:17:22 +0000 kellygirl 570372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just adding that you look gorgeous in both dresses. I think the length of #2 is refreshing and stylish. I'm really digging the look of longer hemlines these days! You do look effortlessly chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570365 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:11:50 +0000 Anonymous 570365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Kari, and I wish I could find some good dresses, so wear them for me! I love the way you've styled the first one with the matching tights/footwear. The midi is a nice change of pace and the length looks great with boots. Who says we have to have just one hem length in our wardrobe? Wear it this way for a while; you can always shorten it next year if you change your mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570292 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:50:11 +0000 gradfashionista 570292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that hem as it is looks fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570284 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:40:57 +0000 ManidipaM 570284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too would be tempted to hem #2 a little (maybe to just hit the lowest strip of beige/tan in the centre-front), but I'm not 100% confident that the camera isn't twisting the truth a little, if not lying... So do please take this opinion with a pinch of (personal-preference) salt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570281 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:38:58 +0000 Kari 570281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok! Will leave the dress as is. </p> <p>It's quite comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570267 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:30:14 +0000 rachylou 570267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Irene said. I like those dresses a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570246 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:11:21 +0000 Kirti 570246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are great! I'd hem #2, but that is my personal preference, if you like it - please leave it as it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570232 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:02:52 +0000 Anonymous 570232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please don't hem it. Being short I too would be tempted to do so but IMO it's part of that dresses charm. You look fantastic in both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570227 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 16:56:40 +0000 christieanne 570227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am totally confused on skirt hemlines but I like the way it looks with the boots. Color combining in dress #1 with the tights is really terrific also. </p> <p>You are making me wish I could find dresses that suit me - you make it sound so easy to get dressed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570204 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 16:24:40 +0000 MsMary 570204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with your co-workers -- leave the hem alone on #2 because it looks FAB!! Both dresses are great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570195 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 16:06:46 +0000 Meredith1953 570195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! I agree that you don't need to alter the hem and if you wear boots, make them the height that will still show part of your leg! I need to figure out dresses and skirts more. I have only a couple of dresses in my closet and no skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570193 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 16:02:00 +0000 christy 570193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both of these, but I really LOVE #2! I'm so confused about hemlines at the moment that I can't offer any wisdom! FWIW, I don't think it needs to be hemmed at all and I can see why you got so many compliments! It's so flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570163 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 14:56:22 +0000 Isis 570163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great at this length! If you hem, you'll lose the interesting detail at the bottom.....I like it with the boots, and I'm sure it will be great with your legs showing too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570162 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 14:52:28 +0000 Jilly 570162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you need to hem this dress at all - looks great the length it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570160 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 14:51:40 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 570160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, it is nice to see your WIW again. I've missed them.</p> <p>I really like both of your dress looks. I agree with Irene and would leave the hem alone. I think it results in nice proportions.</p> <p>I hope your stress level starts to subside soon. It is hard to manage for extended periods. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/continuing-the-streak-of-comfort-dresses-q-should-i-hem-this-dress#post-570154 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 14:45:12 +0000 Irene 570154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leave the hem alone. Just don't wear dress with high boots so your legs can be seen. </p>
