Maybe it's time to look into the tall sizes.<br /> Also thankyou everyone for the recommendations on brands that are longer. That helps me immensely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131612 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:16:35 +0000 Isabel 131612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi San, Sometimes Tall is available online and that can add another 3 - 4 inches. You just have to be careful with the proportions - like is the torso too long in the Tall for you. I am long waisted so 90 % of the time it works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131368 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:39:50 +0000 Anonymous 131368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, although I'm shorter, we are similar in shape. I've had good luck lately with dresses at Marshalls (Calvin Klein fits me well). I've got black, navy and a pale tan/dark cream in the closet all awaiting my final decision. The one Angie linked to is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131355 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:12:27 +0000 Sarah 131355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's suggestion is beautiful. </p> <p>I love this dress too, even though the price is way outside my budget right now.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3092584/0~2376776~2374327~2374331~6014177?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6014177&#038;P=4" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....7&#038;P=4</a><br /> I'd wear a metallic or white belt. And red lips. :)</p> <p>I also love this one (with tangerine colored accessories)<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3076946/0~2376776~2374327~2374331~6014177?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6014177&#038;P=9" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....7&#038;P=9</a><br /> but it may not be small enough for you.</p> <p>Anyway, I just love looking at dresses. I'd wear them every day if I could! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131302 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:31:54 +0000 Laura 131302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, your problem is that you're too darned tall and thin </p> <p>To Kari's point, there's a world of difference between Macy's location. The State Street flagship is heavenly. Our suburban mall's version? Not so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131280 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:34:50 +0000 Kari 131280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that dress that Angie suggested is amazing. I could totally see you carrying off that print, San.</p> <p>I've actually never bought a dress at Macy's (to the best of my memory), save for the Nine West dress that I just ordered, and I haven't found their selection great. Two weeks ago I went into their fitting rooms with somewhere between 20-30 dresses from their sale rack and didn't see one that I liked, and that's pretty much been my experience on every previous dress shopping trip. Not to mention that I was browsing through the store for nearly an hour and not one sales associate said hello or offered help. I'm wondering if you need to go to the big downtown Seattle Macy's to get decent service and selection... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131216 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:41:18 +0000 Debbie 131216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh the dress Angie posted is wonderful. The only reason the Macy dress worked for me is that I'm 5'3". Dresses are a frustration sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131198 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:50:11 +0000 Anonymous 131198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie.<br /> My son is getting married next month. It will be a very small wedding and that MK dress looks beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131195 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:44:22 +0000 Angie 131195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try this dress. It is gorgeous, but you might need to take the hip measurement in: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3076692?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=michael+Kors&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a></p> <p>I know it's a petite on the site but they have the regular sizes in stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131182 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:21:14 +0000 Boof 131182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry it doesn't work for you! Boo! I definitely agree with Angie. Talbots dresses are generally longer, and if you want to shorten you have the option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131139 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:21:16 +0000 Kyle 131139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, what kind of dress are you looking for? For a specific occasion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131134 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:17:10 +0000 Angie 131134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try Talbots! Their dresses are long and nice quality. Get the smallest size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131122 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:39:48 +0000 NK 131122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer! Is Macy's really considered 'the dress store' because I was there yesterday and was really disappointed with the selection. :(</p> <p>What about Nordstrom or Dillards? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131117 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:07:36 +0000 Sihaya 131117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you wear it with skinnies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131116 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:07:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 131116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there a hem that can be let down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-magic-dress-is#post-131113 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:01:33 +0000 Anonymous 131113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>four inches above my knee. What's a woman of 55 yrs supposed to do to find a longer dress. Macy's is the dress store isn't it? </p>
