Then I also have the problem of finding one I like that isn't polyester. It's too hot here to wear polyester! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357894 Sun, 29 May 2011 02:09:59 +0000 Lisa 357894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand dress frustration, not only do I find many of them are hitting me at mid thigh (and I'm only 5'3") but many are also a clingy material. I wish more dresses had more structure to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357841 Sat, 28 May 2011 23:15:01 +0000 Debora 357841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you, girl! I'm 5'6'' and it's so frustrating. I hate to be so picky but I have so many filters a dress must go through that I didn't have to worry about when I was younger - can't be too short, can't be too clingy, not too low cut, no cap sleeves...</p> <p>That's probably why I've been wearing so many skirts, but I would love to find some great casual summer dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357830 Sat, 28 May 2011 22:33:25 +0000 Kyle 357830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope Sandy loves her dress as much as I love mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357317 Sat, 28 May 2011 02:57:30 +0000 Angie 357317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope it works out, Debbie :)</p> <p>Thanks wonderful Sparky-Anne!</p> <p>Kyle, you and Sandy are green dress twins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357298 Sat, 28 May 2011 02:28:37 +0000 Sparky 357298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Twenty thumbs up for the new dress in Angie's store! I bought it several weeks ago for an afternoon garden wedding. LOVE it. The regular comes to the bottom of my knee; the petite comes to slightly above my knee. ETA: I'm 5'4" and tried a size 2 in both regular and petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357292 Sat, 28 May 2011 02:17:49 +0000 Anonymous 357292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, I'm right there with you. I'm also 5'3" (having shrunk an inch) and would love to find a dress that hits midi length just below the knee. I can't even find one that comes to the top of my knee this spring. I'll have to check to see what Angie put in the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357280 Sat, 28 May 2011 02:04:17 +0000 Michelle 357280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Debbie, for highlighting the major upside to plus-size shopping -- dresses all have adequate length and 9 times out of 10 hit me right on the knee! It's great! But sorry to hear of your own frustrations -- hopefully Angie's suggestions get you sorted out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357278 Sat, 28 May 2011 01:59:42 +0000 Debbie 357278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely ordering that dress. My best dresses have been recommended by you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357270 Sat, 28 May 2011 01:47:28 +0000 modgrl 357270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, I need to hit this Macy's dress section. It sounds like these dresses would actually fit me right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357268 Sat, 28 May 2011 01:44:51 +0000 Kyle 357268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amen, sister. Would love it if Sandy would share the styles she found long enough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357165 Fri, 27 May 2011 22:11:34 +0000 Angie 357165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you a thousand percent, Debbie. </p> <p>Sandy is tall and we tried on 10 dresses that were too short when we shopped together earlier this week. Then we hit the mother load and found five dresses that were long enough!! Sandy went home with 4. </p> <p>Debbie, I think you'll really like the CK dress I just put into the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357028 Fri, 27 May 2011 17:50:37 +0000 marianna 357028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not just you, Debbie. I'm incredibly frustrated too. I found one dress at Macys that I love (Alfani brand on sale), but that's it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-357008 Fri, 27 May 2011 17:31:00 +0000 Melissa 357008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know! It's really frustrating. I have five items of clothing I can't wear until I take them to have the hems let out, and even then the two dresses will still be above the knee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-356971 Fri, 27 May 2011 16:56:44 +0000 Debbie 356971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie-I just saw your tweets on this subject so I guess I'm not the only one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-fustration#post-356941 Fri, 27 May 2011 16:26:55 +0000 Debbie 356941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought hemlines were coming down. Not going up. I'm 5' 3" and half of what I try on is too short.<br /> I went to Macy's yesterday and tried on a handful of dresses. I even put one and hold and went back and looked at it again last night. I didn't buy it. Everything is 2-3" above the knee. I just want a couple of decent dresses with the hem in the middle or right below the knee or even tea length. Why is this so hard?<br /> I did buy one dress that I will post tonight for keep or return. Is anyone else having this problem? </p>
