OR I wear low contrast fitted top. I have this round tummy and an invisible torso so this problem is the bane of my existence. I have also hidden a high waistline with a jacket, wide belt and a top to match the belt so that the belt visually extends the tucked in top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-922---midis-that-are-toooo-long#post-1037660 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:40:59 +0000 Amy 1037660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? That's not too long. It looks nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-922---midis-that-are-toooo-long#post-1037655 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:39:21 +0000 celia 1037655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This might be a tricky alteration due to the volume of the skirt.And I do like how you styled it. Do you think it would limit the use you would make of it if you let it as is?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-922---midis-that-are-toooo-long#post-1037607 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:51:46 +0000 rute 1037607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree! It's not too long and the shoes are perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-922---midis-that-are-toooo-long#post-1037597 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:44:10 +0000 Angie 1037597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't chop. Keep. Looks gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-922---midis-that-are-toooo-long#post-1037583 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:37:57 +0000 Suz 1037583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks pretty like this, Lyn! But if you want to chop it, go to the length you prefer. I would just be careful to notice where the pattern lies. I think you probably want to end on a lighter portion vs. one of the stripes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-922---midis-that-are-toooo-long#post-1037553 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:10:53 +0000 Anonymous 1037553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks bad worn like this -- Zara is bringing out high waisted midis and I like the look. You certainly have the figure for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-922---midis-that-are-toooo-long#post-1037552 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:08:40 +0000 lyn* 1037552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A quick run out for groceries: but this was an outfit I nearly had forgotten about, mostly because it was not exciting and the skirt is too long. </p> <p>I want to chop it so I don't have to wear it so high up. Any ideas? </p> <ul> <li>Cardigan: Ricki's</li> <li>Top: Smart Set</li> <li>Skirt: Dorothy Perkins</li> <li>Belt: Burberry Vintage</li> <li>Pump: Le Chateau</li> </ul> ETA: NO cutting for now, but I'll have to play with the proportions a bit :3 Thanks! </p>
