Length for Maxi

As a follow up to my maxi-dress question: I found a fantastic dress, no ruffles, no large floral print, now, what IS the proper length? Right now it drags on the floor, but I can sew. I have NO plans to wear wide strap flat sandals. Thanks, I'm super excited to wear this dress.


The dress sounds perfect. It should cover most of your shoe. No ankle showing, please.

No.


Do you know why she's barefoot? Because she's too tall for that dress.

And you thought models had it easy.

The SOS Gang agrees with me:


Siepres: I think that covering at least part of the shoe is the most universally
flattering.


Halfpint:
Mine, with the perfect shoes (there's that word again, LOL) will be
the length that I wear my pants. No more than 1/2 inch from the floor
with the very tip of my shoe/toes showing in front. S is right, too
short will make me look shorter, which is not my goal with a perfect
outfit.

Joanne:
Ok, I'm relatively tall (5'7") and I wear mine like HP wears hers -
with just the tip of my shoe showing. That ankle length just looks
dumb. Even in the photos in Nordstrom, those beautiful models look
funny when their whole foot and/or ankle shows.

Ilie: As long as possible without dragging on the floor. (so you can have shoe versatility and shoe peeks out only)
nothing at the ankle or above~avoid that look at all costs, very stumping.
