I’ll post a image of the shortened version when I’m back in the US.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2325619 Wed, 07 Jun 2023 17:40:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2325619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great dress on you! I could see it knee-length, too, but that would be a very different vibe. Perhaps it has great longevity because you could just keep shortening it over the years for different looks--haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2325616 Wed, 07 Jun 2023 16:41:09 +0000 Suz 2325616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress on you, Lisa! I like the neckline.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2325596 Wed, 07 Jun 2023 13:12:54 +0000 BlueJay 2325596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2325449 Tue, 06 Jun 2023 12:51:46 +0000 Anonymous 2325449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like summer dresses to hit on my knees. &nbsp;Cold weather dresses and skirts are from the bottom of the knee to midi length. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314556 Tue, 21 Mar 2023 12:33:50 +0000 RobinF 2314556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress! I will agree with the 3 or 4 inches off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314549 Tue, 21 Mar 2023 11:48:47 +0000 Anonymous 2314549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like there's a natural bend in the fabric about 4 inches up. That seems like the most natural place to hem. I like the length as is too though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314531 Tue, 21 Mar 2023 09:09:20 +0000 Tanya 2314531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning dress on you!&nbsp; I'd also say it needs 3-4" off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314527 Tue, 21 Mar 2023 08:52:51 +0000 Bijou 2314527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fabulous LBD, it has drama but looks very wearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314525 Tue, 21 Mar 2023 08:27:23 +0000 Star (Lise) 2314525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a fan of smocking but this dress is Wow!&nbsp; Yes to mid-calf or a bit shorter for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314501 Tue, 21 Mar 2023 02:48:50 +0000 Jaime 2314501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I defer to others about the exact length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314485 Tue, 21 Mar 2023 00:28:36 +0000 cjh 2314485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s very pretty on you. I agree with the idea of hemming up the existing fabric, instead of cutting off anything. Alternatively, putting an interlining inside the hem of a soft canvas might work to give it weight but still drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314477 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 22:05:23 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2314477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would work with bigger boobs but that a Very Serious Bra would be needed to keep them well up over the smocking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314472 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 20:47:01 +0000 Janet 2314472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress, and it looks terrific on you! I’d say maybe 3” off — I like the drama of a longer length. </p> <p>I see it’s available in other colors, I’d be so tempted but I don’t think a large bust will work with this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314471 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 20:43:03 +0000 Carla 2314471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just below the curve of your calf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314459 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 19:03:55 +0000 Suz 2314459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress -- great sandals, too. I'd go 3 to 4 inches shorter. It's going to be super useful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314458 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:55:58 +0000 Irina 2314458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the length on the model is ideal.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314457 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:44:17 +0000 approprio 2314457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. You could make a deep hem and give it some structure. Lovely dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314456 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:37:44 +0000 Roberta 2314456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No thoughts on the length, but gosh, that is really pretty on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314454 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:19:18 +0000 slim cat 2314454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress! Just some shortening . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314452 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 17:40:43 +0000 Angie 2314452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A four inch hack should do it. A little longer than on the model.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pretty dress. You rock the neckline! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314448 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 17:28:32 +0000 LJP 2314448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My gosh that’s a gorgeous dress on you Lisa . No thoughts on length , but it looks a little uneven as it is ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-black-dress#post-2314446 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 17:17:43 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2314446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the v neck and smocked bodice of this dress quite a bit. But it’s so long! What would be a good place to hem it to? </p>
