I mean for over a year. It's a look I really have wanted to implement. Looking for solid classy flattering dress/tunics and it is suprising what a dearth there is, or at least named what I'm searching for, I could be searching wrong!). Time for an Angie list (which it seems I almost always succumb and click and buy from her glorious lists!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days/page/2#post-1809519 Fri, 19 May 2017 04:35:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1809519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see you style this "tunic!" &nbsp;I'll remember to search for tunics more in the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days/page/2#post-1809375 Thu, 18 May 2017 13:46:18 +0000 Lisa 1809375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first time I'm noticing this, but I did think it was funny that tunics were mentioned because I just picked up 2 tunics to try layering with cropped leggings as a "new to me" look for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days/page/2#post-1809281 Thu, 18 May 2017 00:30:32 +0000 JAileen 1809281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print on the dress-I-mean-tunic is really pretty.

The knees need to be well covered. I am a leggy 5'8" and luckily found one that worked. Very hard to be happy with dress length. I also don't want to wear super long tunics regularly, especially in the heat. I am in a car too often to want to corral a lot of volume day to day. There are more longer options than there were about 5 years ago, though I like dresses just below the knee, not always midi.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck to all of us. My almost 6 foot tall daughter struggles with dress length every shopping trip. Some midis would be a good length on her, but then the other proportions are off, of course.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days/page/2#post-1809171 Wed, 17 May 2017 15:42:02 +0000 tulle 1809171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've noticed this, too, and because I tend to avoid the extra hip bulk of tunics-over-pants, I now view every tunic as a potential dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days/page/2#post-1809159 Wed, 17 May 2017 14:36:29 +0000 Christina F. 1809159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the model is just really, REALLY tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809155 Wed, 17 May 2017 14:29:00 +0000 RobinF 1809155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, that's weird. It isn't even shown as a tunic.&nbsp;</p> <p>Agree, us shorties have an advantage when dresses are running short as they are now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809149 Wed, 17 May 2017 14:10:33 +0000 Angie 1809149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed your comments and had a good chuckle. </p> <p>Whatever the reasons for the "freedom of item labeling" these days - the model is wearing the loooooong tunic as a dress - and that's the interesting part. Perhaps that IS suppose to encourage us to wear it as is, or layered over bottoms. BOTH visuals would have been nice to see.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll let you know how it fits as soon as it arrives.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tanya, YES. Tunics on Zara and Netaporter are longer than dresses this season - and styled over pants and jeans. I LOVE that look.</p> <p>Elizabeth, agreed. Visually, I prefer a short skirt and dress on a short person rather than a tall, leggy person. Although you're saying that the skirts looked regular length on you - which brings me back to skirts and dresses being awfully short on people who are not petite.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809125 Wed, 17 May 2017 13:05:32 +0000 Sara L. 1809125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's bizarre. &nbsp;I like the print though and hope it works out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809111 Wed, 17 May 2017 11:35:08 +0000 bella 1809111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. Maybe it's too sheer or flimsy to wear on its own, so they called it a tunic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809107 Wed, 17 May 2017 10:58:57 +0000 The Cat 1809107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little strange. But whatever they call them, we are free to wear them our own way. I am very pleased to see beautiful items that are able to cover the kneecaps even on us who are taller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809098 Wed, 17 May 2017 10:25:15 +0000 Bijou 1809098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am finding it is not just dresses, skirts too are really short at the moment. At 5'5", I am finding them OK, but really would much prefer longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809096 Wed, 17 May 2017 10:01:20 +0000 Inge 1809096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crazy!-)<br />I usually just search for "dresses" and "tunics" whenever I'm looking around for either, because you just never know under which category a store is displaying them...</p> <p>Love that Zara dress/tunic!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809070 Wed, 17 May 2017 04:13:13 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1809070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well that is the longest tunic I have ever seen! And yes, dress lengths are always too short. I'm 5'5" and very sensitive about the length being at or just below the knee... It's crazy how impossible that is too find... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809060 Wed, 17 May 2017 03:04:57 +0000 Jaime 1809060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have noticed that some retailers have bizarre naming conventions. I have also seen backless shoes referred to as slingbacks and that really drives me crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1809054 Wed, 17 May 2017 02:46:21 +0000 cindysmith 1809054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was looking around for a top for my sister's wedding and scrolled past this tunic.

As long as there are more options out there I'm all for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1808973 Tue, 16 May 2017 21:27:19 +0000 Tanya 1808973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been noticing in the lookbooks of retailers such as Net-a-porter and ShopBop that the new interpretation of dress-over-pants look involved much longer dresses then usual, either knee-length or midi. Perhaps labeling of these longer dresses as tunics is meant to instruct us to wear them over pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1808970 Tue, 16 May 2017 21:25:25 +0000 Suz 1808970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely "tunic."

The pictures showed it with and without pants. I guess I am not the only one confused! I am definitively short and even I am finding skirts etc. frequently too short these days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1808956 Tue, 16 May 2017 19:48:32 +0000 Anonymous 1808956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a fashion mystery.

I wonder if calling it a tunic is meant as implicit permission to wear over pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunics-are-longer-than-dresses-these-days#post-1808949 Tue, 16 May 2017 19:21:27 +0000 cindysmith 1808949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see so many dresses that are really nothing more than a long-ish top (and I'm not even talking tunic long) and for me it's a no. With this butt and these thighs? definitely a no. </p>
