See pic.&nbsp;</p> <p>Knee-length means on or below the knee-cap.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-length#post-1749784 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 15:25:21 +0000 BrieN 1749784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie! Thanks for the reply. <br />I'm 5'4" and I take a medium in the gilet so it's long on me. &nbsp;I've been wearing it with the kick flare halogen crops and loafers, and with skirts. I'm still try to sort out other winter footwear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Does the term knee-length mean right above the knee? or below or in the middle? &nbsp;I've never been very clear on that.... &nbsp;In general should it be longer than the skirts I am wearing it with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-length#post-1749767 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 13:27:11 +0000 Angie 1749767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it can be hemmed. Mine is knee-length and I'm 5ft 6. I also wear a 1.5 or 2 inch heel with the look. No problem. How tall are you?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gilet-length#post-1749690 Sat, 12 Nov 2016 01:23:06 +0000 BrieN 1749690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been wearing the Halogen gilet recently -- it's a new silhouette for me and I've really enjoyed wearing it. That said, I'm wondering that it might be a little long. Is there a "right" length for these? &nbsp; I wonder if it could be hemmed?&nbsp; </p>
