On her, yes, a tad, but I think she could get away with it. On you, I wouldn't know. Are you tall?

Hey, that reminds me a lot of my new ink blue dress! And some have said mine is too short while other think it's okay. Guess it's a matter of personal opinion . . . but the drop waist makes it harder to adjust.

hmm, might be pushing it. Maybe as a tunic?

It says that the skirt hem hits top of thigh. That's a crotch-scraper.

It would be a great tunic! Esp with you gold dv sandals and skinnies.

That is really pretty. Given that you are tall I fear it would be edging into sitting problems territory. Personally I am not against mini skirts but I am for practicalities.

That's a tough question. You're asking someone who prefers them to scrape her knee! Also it's hard to determine without seeing it on you.

Thanks everyone.
Guess I'll have to take extra call to get some OT for this

Yes, on her it looks like a tunic. I think it could be a toss with you. But it is just lovely. I am really loving that green.

Agree with the others about the DVF dress. Love the Isabel Marant green dress! So cool!!! And looks like it would work for spring and summer, even fall.

I wish it said how tall the model is, or how long the dress is. I think it could go either way. I seem to remember you rocking a mini skirt before... but maybe that was with tights?

I agree with the others. By first sight it looks more like a tunic and the dropped waist may be the reason why it might be too short for a dress. The Isabel Marant dress looks gorgeous.

One of my favorite shops in town is Shine. The most loving lady is running the shop and she + her co-workers are the best. To see some more Marant items (but not this dress) on them: http://www.charlotteforshine.com/ (yopu might have to scroll down a bit)

That cinched waist will make it gather higher over the day. I think you will find it shorter than you want but if you plan to use it as a tunic it will be a better option. The other IM dress would not probably have that problem, but it looks also pretty short to begin with. You can do it though, you have fab legs

Anna, it's hard to say. I would wear it as a tunic but that's because a dress so short wouldn't be appropriate for my lifestyle, but on someone else (you) it could look fab and be suitable. It would be great to see it on you.

How would you plan to wear it Anna? On a week long trip to Mustique this would be the most perfect dress. On a rainy Wednesday in Seattle I'm not so sure.

The combination of the fabric, style and length just reads as resort wear.

I do love the colour and you certainly have the gams for a mini.
