Have you tried Kylie or other kids stores, my mum is 5' 1/4" - and that 1/4" is ohh so important to her. Anyway, that's what she tends to do ~ go to the kids sections or stores and she never has to hem them!

God luck

hi try next they have some lovely maxi dresses and their clothers wash really well i have just got some lovely tops

i am 5'7" so don't have a problem with length, I really would love a maxi dress but I wore one the first time round and wonder if I am too old.
I would appreciate an honest opinion , from my lady forum buddies

I am 56yrs young!

Not at all skilly! you're as young as you feel, wear what you feel comfortable in.

I love my cut off linen trousers..... but can also be seen in maxi dresses, knee length skirts.....I just give mini's a wide birth. :wink:

Thanks JB, I too give minis a miss. The only time I would wear one is with black tights in winter, and then its not that short!
I did minis & midis the first time round also, isn't it funny how fashion keeps coming full circle?
I loved sixties fashion & geometric hairstyles!

Yeah me too, unfortunately I can remember them first time round too, but Sssssssssshhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone :roll:

I bought a maxi dress on Saturday and I now have a problem, do I wear flat sandals or wedges with it?
My sister says flat sandals but I don't really like them much as they make my feet look big

.
Any advice would be appreciated.

skilly, either would look great so it comes down to what you'll feel more comfy in and whethere you'd wear the shoes with anything else - luggage weight in mind ha ha

fat feet would be hidden by your dress too - but I bet they're not fat at all :wink:

wedges are great and comfy to walk in but if your feet swell or if you went over on your ankle, you may regret it
decisions, decisions - who said this hol lark was easy

I think you're right Fanny, I'll wear what I feel comfortable with.
I have big feet but theyre not fat so i think I'll stick to wedges.

skilly, you could also try kitten heels...... I love these, as I find it incredibly difficult to walk in high heels on some of the block paving they use out there. They look fabulous with a maxi dress, as well as cut offs :wink:
