I don't mind getting them hemmed. That is a really easy alteration. Usually the big problem is the extra inches of torso that I can't fill out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-620010 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:43:01 +0000 Kari 620010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think it's kind of like what Angie illustrated when she was shopping with Laura for midis in NYC some months ago - not all midi lengths work on all people. Your personal "sweet spot" for midis is just barely past the knee/covering the knee cap, right?<br /> FWIW, I actually do like the length of the pink dress on you - but I definitely could see what you meant about the fit issues.</p> <p>(OT: my significant other's mom is *very* petite, to the tune of being 4'9" tall. She wears pants, not dresses, but one of the things she's mentioned is that she sometimes can shop for capris in the regular clothing section, because they fit like pants on her and she doesn't have to get them hemmed! She likes flats/very low wedge heels.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-620004 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:38:21 +0000 modgrl 620004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI all! Yes, I am shortening the blue one :)</p> <p>I am passing on the pink polka dot one - I need more boob and body to fill it out completely. </p> <p>These shots illustrate why I used to militantly avoid midi's. I know this unintentional midi look is not a good one for me. I can mediate it somewhat by defining my waist AND wearing 4" heels but I don't want to have to do this all the time. For the most part, midi's are just a cute little diversion for me. As someone who is very petite, my heart will always belong to the mini. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-619950 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:22:23 +0000 Kari 619950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I'm glad that it will work on you in a shortened state. A beautiful piece!</p> <p>The leaf dress totally didn't work on me - too high necked and not the right shape - but I love seeing it on others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-619941 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:14:03 +0000 Ioana 619941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they would look better if shortened knee length </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-619242 Mon, 14 May 2012 06:00:02 +0000 Deborah 619242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita I hope you don't mind me saying you look a little like a young girl trying on big girl dresses (it's the length) I love both dresses and the blue is just gorgeous and I think shortened it is going to look wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-619037 Sun, 13 May 2012 22:33:58 +0000 Jjsloane 619037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute - I love the polkadots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-619012 Sun, 13 May 2012 21:23:17 +0000 modgrl 619012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, it's Macy's. I ended up getting the blue dress. I'll need to get it shortened. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-619008 Sun, 13 May 2012 21:13:23 +0000 Amy 619008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are very pretty. I'm sorry you didn't find the size you wanted. Are these at Macy's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fans-of-the-jones-ny-leaf-dress#post-619001 Sun, 13 May 2012 20:53:46 +0000 modgrl 619001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same shape now in a blue pattern. </p> <p>Also very cute hot pink polka dot dress.</p> <p>Sadly neither comes in petite. </p>
