Nice rescue - way to "boss your clothes around!" I'm surprising myself by really liking the oxfords with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702620 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:09:45 +0000 Deborah 702620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the length on the dress. Looks fab. I have been thinking of doing this to my skirt in this style:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702543 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 04:06:29 +0000 goldenpig 702543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you and great length! The original hem is also raw so it's really easy to chop this dress and it still looks good. I love the oxfords that bookend your hair! You look too cool for school with your sunglasses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702444 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:51:04 +0000 KathyL 702444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job with the chopping. I think this length is very flattering on you. A funny aside, I tried on a regular sized Vince Camuto banded top today (similar stripes and diagonal panels) and it was so long on my short waisted, petite body that it could have passed as a dress (well, a mini, but still </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702349 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:58:50 +0000 Anonymous 702349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant move. Good for you for going with your gut. I like that you will get some wear out of this fab dress now. It really looks flattering at this length, and the oxfords are perfect for your style. I don't think you'll have any problem with raveling because it's a knit. Wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702327 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:22:52 +0000 Anonymous 702327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are soooo cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702325 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:19:54 +0000 Amy 702325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic improvement!

I think it wasn't so much the length as the way it really narrowed at my lower calf, making me even more IT-ish...</p> <p>I know this dress is not as fab as the B44, but It's so comfy, it could be pajamas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702264 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:20:36 +0000 MsMary 702264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab, fab, fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702257 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:13:12 +0000 Angie 702257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Love it with the burgundy oxfords that match your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702252 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:09:03 +0000 Vicki 702252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shop and then chop!

Perfect with the oxfords IMO - very edgy with the still-midi-but-not-so-midi length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702240 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:50:30 +0000 Mona 702240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>super cute, Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop/page/2#post-702219 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:34:12 +0000 Anonymous 702219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice rescue there.

Raw is definitely a RATE look and I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop#post-702162 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:20:52 +0000 catgirl 702162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>QM, I just chopped it. Since the other edges haven't unravelled yet I think it will be okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop#post-702157 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:11:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 702157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop#post-702153 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:09:57 +0000 JR 702153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You aced it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop#post-702111 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:27:47 +0000 Jonesy 702111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it shortened, and LOVE it with the oxblood oxfords. Looks very chic!</p> <p>I am totally digging raw edges lately (on skirts, shirts, jackets, pants), so thumbs up from me on the dress!</p> <p>Some of my raw edge inspiration pics (ETA, because the pics are small: 1st skirt has raw edge on hem, 2nd cut-offs are raw, 3rd denim dress has raw edges on armholes and bottom hem, 4th olive shirt has raw edges on cut off arms and bottom hem), from my Pinterest board, below: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop#post-702110 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:27:14 +0000 Queen Mum 702110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looks great! that reminds me I have an unhemmed dress that I think I want to shorten just a tad. Did you just cut it raw? did you do anything to keep the seems from unravelling?</p> <p>eta- okay I see that you said you just cut off the bottom tier, but did you have to tend to the seams at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop#post-702106 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:25:12 +0000 lyn67 702106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe Angie will not be happy as she votes the new midi all the time:-), but i find this a perfect length on you, much better then longer indeed(as you have a petite frame). Wear the heck out of this dress Una! Now!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-824-cha-cha-chop#post-702099 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:13:52 +0000 catgirl 702099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I left it raw. The edges are all raw on the tiers, and hemming the jersey would be a nightmare. I basically just cut off the bottom tier.
