I'd be worried that I might accidentally flash passers-by with a glimpse of my bum if I so much as bent slightly over. Even on the model's nearly nonexistent rear, in the video clip, it looks like there's maybe half an inch before we start seeing her cheeks peek out through the lace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463400 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:35:11 +0000 Lori 463400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is too short on the 20-something model in theory, but if I saw a woman with any kind of a figure walking around sans leggings, it would give me pause. That lace hem is pretty wide which shortens the dress to my eye. It is gorgeous in everyway though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463394 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:23:47 +0000 Lisa 463394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fine as a tunic with skinny jeans. The lace extends the hemline up even higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463390 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:20:52 +0000 Angie 463390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, if I'm not mistaken, you wear skirts shorter and tighter than this? What is giving you pause with this style? Is it the lace hem? </p> <p>I like the dropped waist, actually. I think that you could wear the dropped waist look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463325 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:32:32 +0000 Queen Mum 463325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's a lovely blouse... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463312 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:20:26 +0000 bj1111 463312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anna, i'm concerned about the drop waist as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463292 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:49:25 +0000 modgrl 463292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at the lace bottom, I'm sure you'll be able to see your whole tush underneath. How about with your brown leather pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463287 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:43:20 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 463287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not think tights would be sufficient. Sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463285 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:41:42 +0000 ironkurtin 463285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar shirt and I think you'd be giving passersby a little bit more of a thrill than you intended if it were just tights. This really looks ore like a shirt or tunic and less like a real dress to me. Maybe your leather shorts and the tights? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463284 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:39:44 +0000 annagybe 463284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would tights be sufficient? I'm not really a fan of the dress over skinnies look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463275 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:32:24 +0000 ironkurtin 463275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, but what Janet said. The issue isn't the short, it's the sheer. Definitely opaqueness underneath is called for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463270 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:27:43 +0000 Janet 463270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on what you wear underneath it. That lace part of the skirt is awfully sheer, and the drop waist looks like it has the potential to ride up as you move around. Maybe with leggings or skinnies? </p> <p>Anna, I always thought you were taller than me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463269 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:27:24 +0000 Nakidra 463269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This would be too short for me, but I'm 5'8" and too old to wear something that short. You could make this work because you are an inch shorter and young enough to wear a short dress! I guess the only way to find out is to try it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463267 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:26:43 +0000 modgrl 463267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a nice shirt, not too short with jeggings underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short#post-463264 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:23:38 +0000 annagybe 463264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The model is 5'9", I'm 5'7". Also I'm not sure of the dropped waist.</p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306418059&#038;PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446430962&#038;R=885905062076&#038;P_name=Haute+Hippie&#038;N=1553+306418059&#038;bmUID=jeacdz5" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=jeacdz5</a> </p>
