My vote would probably be for a knee length hem, but it depends on what it does to the proportions. If the bodice and skirt are then the same length, it might be better to wear it longer.Gretchen the Household Deityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882578423517346342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-17345345369049446242009-06-09T04:57:33.542-04:002009-06-09T04:57:33.542-04:00Say what?

I think that emphasizes your not-thick waist. Darn friends. I have one like that too who thinks she is being "helpful" instead of hurtful.

The attraction about this dress is the high waist and a sash will give it the appearance of a normal waist skirt. Find a tan leather belt and shoes. It will look fantastic.Sherrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682899485401222209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-7541209695020488042009-06-08T08:26:30.426-04:002009-06-08T08:26:30.426-04:00Oh, and what is it with skinny bitches thinking th...Oh, and what is it with skinny bitches thinking that they are fat!Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-21488675699835746602009-06-08T08:25:54.020-04:002009-06-08T08:25:54.020-04:00I love the dress and the combination of fabrics. ...I love the dress and the combination of fabrics.

Because it sure as anything doesn't fit anyone who's "thick". Your friend clearly was having some kind of psychotic episode - she lost touch with reality for a while. Has she got an eating disorder?<br /><br />Don't join her in her psychosis and start comparing weights and so forth, just say, "I'm fine with the way I look in it. What do you think about the length?" But feel free to ignore her if you think she's wrong.<br /><br />Personally, I'd baste it first at one length and then the other and decide for myself. otherwise, I guess your in for a whole new set of comments about your knees...Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170406331272601890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-64777351350842099122009-06-08T08:00:20.268-04:002009-06-08T08:00:20.268-04:00It looks lovely on Evelyn!
