I like the dress but I do think it's pretty firmly "now". I think you could get at least two summers out of it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965779 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:37:07 +0000 Suz 965779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress on you, Kelly! I would say keep it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965778 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:33:48 +0000 rachylou 965778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi-low has a long ways to go, IMO. It's a great dress. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965746 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:50:57 +0000 Anonymous 965746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965744 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:50:25 +0000 cciele 965744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the drape and the color of the dress on you Kelly! Glad to hear you are on the mend too.</p> <p>I think Sarah had a great idea about hemming -- that would work really well for this dress later.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965740 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:47:03 +0000 MNsara 965740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to hear that it's still on the upward trend, because this is really cute on you :-)&nbsp; I agree that the less exaggerated the hi-low, the better and more long-lived probably.</p> <p>Nice choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965732 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:32:26 +0000 kellygirl 965732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie!&nbsp;<br />@sarah: Here you go That's a great idea, btw. Thanks!<br />@Jules: I guess Toronto is way more fashion forward than the U.S.! I do think I'd get a lot of use out of it for summer--especially to hide the gimpy leg! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965330 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 02:53:29 +0000 Jules 965330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seeing them everywhere, along with maxis, here in Toronto. If you love the dress and can get two summers out of it at least, to me that is worthwhile. I buy pretty cheap summer clothing though, and I find it doesn't last as long as winter clothing even from the same stores - more washing due to summer sweat and grime, cotton fades, etc. So I'm okay with trendy summer pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965302 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 02:04:55 +0000 sarah 965302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could always have it hemmed to one length after the trend passes ; )</p> <p>Do we get to see pics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965260 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 01:43:37 +0000 Angie 965260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. On trend. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965235 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 01:34:21 +0000 kellygirl 965235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great observations. I don't see lots of high lows being worn around here either. I really like the more subtle ones--shopping with DD's I saw the severely exaggerated versions which I'm not really crazy about. I will post a picture of the dress later--but I'm pretty sure it is a keeper.&nbsp;<br />@Thistle: Good to know if I'm ever in WI!<br />@texstyle: That is interesting--I see so many high/lows in stores. Who is buying them except me?&nbsp;<br />@Denise: Will do!<br />@Diana: I'm surprised that you only saw one at your wedding. It seems like a very California look--to me at least.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965115 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:20:54 +0000 Diana 965115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I agree that it's only just catching on in most places.&nbsp; During my wedding weekend, I only saw one high-low dress... and I was wearing it (for the rehearsal dinner).&nbsp; There are tons in stores though so I think it is only just filtering down to real life now.&nbsp; </p> <p>(Oh, and I agree with Denise too.&nbsp; I see a lot more hi-low tops than dresses.&nbsp; They are admittedly easier to wear.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965113 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:15:56 +0000 CocoLion 965113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still seeing lots of hi low hemlines on tops. &nbsp;But the difference between the hi and lows are not as exaggerated as before. &nbsp;I think the more exaggerated the hi-low nature, the more it will date. &nbsp;Can we see the dress? &nbsp;Also let's see what Angie says! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965101 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:24:25 +0000 texstyle 965101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they will be around for a while still. They seem to be just now catching on a bit --- but at a recent high end rehearsal dinner and wedding reception&nbsp;in Houston with a LOT of young women I must say I didn't see even one. Not sure what that means - late to the trend?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965091 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:01:27 +0000 Thistle 965091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, not sure, but I think they have at least a year of longevity, probably 2-3 depending on where you live!</p> <p>High-low has not yet reached WI, so you would be cutting edge wearing it here at the moment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-question-high-low-hem#post-965089 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 20:50:22 +0000 kellygirl 965089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think these are going to date relatively soon? I bought a high/low hem dress--below&nbsp;knee cap length in the front and mid calf in the back--nothing too exaggerated. Do you think it will be good for a couple of years? a year?&nbsp;</p> <p>TIA! </p> <p>ETA: I realize I have a blue dress this color but this one looks more current to me. It also hides my gimpy calf a little. I got a new brace yesterday&nbsp;and am walking somewhat gingerly. I'm in a quandary over shoes though--I can barely squeeze my running shoes over this. There's always something but at least I'm on the mend!</p> <p></p>
