Hem this top?

Mander

So in trying to decide what to wear for my interview I found that this top just doesn't look good untucked. For some reason I always feel really uncomfortable and constricted when I tuck things in, so I was wondering if perhaps hemming it would help.

In this (terrible!) photo, the green line marks where my trouser waistband falls, and the red line the approximate length that I would hem the blouse to. I could even try to convert it to a banded or bubble hem style.

Would that help?

It's possible that would help. It's really hard to tell without seeing a full-length photo to get the whole proportion. But I think I can see what you're saying. Why don't you pin it up to that length and try it?

Side note, speaking of taking control of the hems of our tops: I've been spending a few minutes here and there trying to carefully remove the elastic from an old bubble hem style top that I otherwise love (I love the print and the sleeves). We'll see if the effort is successful! I don't look very good in those styles (short-waisted).
