I really like it. And it's not short at all. What was he thinking?!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713238 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 11:22:39 +0000 Helen11 1713238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, my brother is a good bloke, really : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713226 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 11:05:10 +0000 Staysfit 1713226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brothers! Ugh! It's a good thing he stayed home to babysit because it sounds like that's where he belonged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713222 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 10:52:04 +0000 Helen11 1713222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I won't reply to every comment, but thanks to each of you for your replies. I was pretty sure it looks ok and I'm very conservative. Leggings or tights make me feel more relaxed about the length when sitting . No way am I going 4 inches shorter!!<br /> I will see what outfit or item provokes the next brotherly comments : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713219 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 10:44:30 +0000 Summer 1713219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's brothers for you, Helen!&nbsp; Your dress looks perfect to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713185 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 05:45:08 +0000 MomOfThree1980 1713185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress goes down to your knees, perfectly appropriate length to not have to wear leggings with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713184 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 05:37:15 +0000 skylurker 1713184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is not short, I agree with those who said he probably reacted to the shirt design.<br /> I like how you styled it with red accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713102 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 01:25:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1713102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, now I see it's a necklace, not a scarf (and had I read more closely, I would have been clued in, huh?). Ah well--still goes great with the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants/page/2#post-1713041 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 23:19:24 +0000 Barbara Diane 1713041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so funny. I agree that anything that's different about an item of clothing can throw a guy. Not all men, but many. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1713034 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 23:12:39 +0000 Windchime 1713034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silly brother! From what I can tell, you could wear it just like this to work--no leggings required--and I'm pretty modest in my work dress. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1713024 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 22:57:32 +0000 Sally 1713024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great...definitely a reasonably modest length. Men don't always get fashion.....I always get comments on my harem pants or anything a bit different...that is something outside of jeans and t shirt and a conventional shift dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1713018 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 22:35:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1713018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think some men don't get shirt dresses. They think a shirt should be worn as a shirt. Don't consult them on culottes that look like skirts either. You look fab Helen. And it's definitely not too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1713007 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 21:51:38 +0000 Teodora 1713007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello @Helen11!</p> <p>This is funny. The other day my husband said I looked like a highlighter because I wore neon shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>No, I don't think it is short. Maybe he referred more to the fact that it resembled a shirt and to him you are just wearing a shirt. In reality it is a shirt dress but man and fashion...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1713003 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 21:43:04 +0000 Helen11 1713003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it's such a boost to wake up to these lovely messages. Glad I could give some of you a laugh.<br /> Off to a workshop today for one of my volunteer roles. After a scratchy start to the day at home, now I feel a whole lot better. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712985 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 21:03:04 +0000 unfrumped 1712985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the length, and I am really schoolmarmish on short dresses. It doesn't even begin to look like a tunic to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712957 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 20:02:28 +0000 Sal 1712957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! You look terrific- I really really like this on you. Very cool indeed.</p> <p>Fashion advice from male family members- definitely not always to be trusted!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712941 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 19:24:57 +0000 shedev 1712941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not too short at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712937 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 19:12:37 +0000 DonnaF 1712937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brothers!!!!&nbsp; As was mentioned up thread, it is probably the curved hem that caused his confusion.&nbsp; According to my DD, a dress/skirt hem isn't too short unless it hits above fingertip length -- which means you can probably go shorter another three or four inches.&nbsp; &lt;gr&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712928 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 18:58:56 +0000 Banoffi 1712928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What?! The dress isn't too short. Not even close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712925 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 18:45:34 +0000 rachylou 1712925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz and Tulle said. Lol. The dress is the perfect length. </p> <p>Ok. So you need to go back now and ask him: 'What do you feel, if any, is the role of the Humanities in the Production of Wealth?'</p> <p>Lololol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712903 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:57:03 +0000 JAileen 1712903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is really cute. Maybe he was just making a lame joke? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712896 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:37:18 +0000 tulle 1712896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable, and perfectly appropriate.&nbsp; Brothers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712887 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:28:09 +0000 Jane 1712887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I think you are wise not trusting your brother's fashion advice. I like the way the necklace sits under the collar of the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712884 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:25:37 +0000 catgirl 1712884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a totally appropriate length and not short at all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712871 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:41:11 +0000 deb 1712871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712861 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:30:27 +0000 Angela K 1712861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! I wore a dress with a shirt-tail hem to work and one of my co-workers asked me the same thing!&nbsp; When I pointed out it was longer than the dress our receptionist was wearing he said it wasn't the length but the fact that it had "shirt-tails".&nbsp; So I just wrote it off being a guy thing.<br />I think you look great and that your dress is very versatile--can be worn as a dress or as a tunic.&nbsp; Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712848 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 15:52:54 +0000 Karie 1712848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I expected to click on your picture and see something super short, but I think the length is perfect for wearing w/o pants or leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712845 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 15:46:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1712845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, you don't look like you forgot anything! That dress is fantastic on you, and the length looks just right to me. The matching shoes and scarf make a nicely pulled-together look, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712824 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 15:07:40 +0000 Anonymous 1712824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this outfit, Helen. It really comes together with the necklace and shoe matching. You look casual but still put together and polished.<br /> It's absolutely not too short </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-did-i-forget-my-pants#post-1712820 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 14:54:48 +0000 Mirjana 1712820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is great and the length is absolutely appropriate. You look nice. </p>
