With the sandals, I like it at both lengths, with a preference for the shorter length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-have-this-dress-hemmed#post-2226069 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 12:03:53 +0000 Janet 2226069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I as just having a moment when I wondered if this was just TOO covered up. It is a long dress! It’s kind of nice to have that issue for once instead of lamenting that everything hits above my knee. </p> <p>If I feel I need a little more “sex appeal” the can always unbutton another of the buttons at the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-have-this-dress-hemmed#post-2226065 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 11:48:34 +0000 April 2226065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see much love for the longer length, just adding mine as well.&nbsp; </p> <p>I often wear dresses this length, and I do not have your statuesque height.&nbsp; I just like the coverage, especially when seated or when getting in or out of a car. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-have-this-dress-hemmed#post-2225930 Tue, 21 Sep 2021 20:54:59 +0000 LaPed 2225930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Longer for sure!

You have the legs and “ presence” for it , and I agree with Lisap and Angie—it becomes much more ordinary if shortened. Which can be a great look, but not for this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-have-this-dress-hemmed#post-2225774 Tue, 21 Sep 2021 08:58:58 +0000 Bijou 2225774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in this dress and must get DH to take you out to dinner so you can wear it ASAP.

When I first bought it I didn’t have any thoughts of hemming but somehow the other day I started to have doubts. Thank you. I think it does work better at this length with the boots than the barer shoes, but that’s probably going to be how I wear it anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-have-this-dress-hemmed#post-2225690 Mon, 20 Sep 2021 21:55:08 +0000 Echo 2225690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I would prefer it slightly shorter, but surprised myself by not liking those pictures nearly as much. I, too, prefer the longer unhemmed length.

When worn with the sandals maybe the shorter length would look better? it is probably not helping. I am interested what Angie will say...&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-have-this-dress-hemmed#post-2225672 Mon, 20 Sep 2021 21:02:02 +0000 Janet 2225672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this Veronica Beard dress a while back, in preparation for the someday when we would have things to attend again. Heh. It’s a pretty classic cut albeit meant to be quite fitted, but in looking at it during my closet review, I am wondering if it’s a bit long. I feel like when this style is too long, it drags me down a bit. </p> <p>I tried it on with some heeled sandals (which I have since edited out of my closet — fit and comfort are not great, and I have other better dressy options), and heeled booties. I hiked the bottom of the dress up in a couple of these photos (7-8) to give an idea of what it would look like with a few inches taken off. Angie and all, what do you think? </p>
