oh wow! so um, is there anyone here who has it that is short? like, 5'? they still have XS left, but the length has me worried. I'm always lusted after these though...

i am 5'4, and those two sale dresses are midi length on me. i also have a shorter version in a petite size that comes above the knee.

hm, well I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for the shorter versions, I just don't think that length will work on me thanks!

Thanks for the heads up! I've wanted to try this for ages but didn't want to spend almost $200 on it.

For half off, I'd consider ordering or buying the longer one and see if a tailor can shorten it for you. A really good tailor will be honest if it will ruin the dress or not. I think it would still come out less than the full price of the shorter ones and be a better length for you. Anthro is good about returns if the estimate is too much or it can't be done.

Is the red one heinous? I can't tell.

this is a good point. I was sort of thinking this type of dress wouldn't hem well, especially with how the proportions are and because of the material. I'll have to think about it tonight!

ETA: nevermind, it's gone! lol oh well, maybe I'll have to keep my eyes out for the other ones to go on sale!

Sak's also carries this dress in other versions/colors. I've seen them at Off 5th before. That may be somewhere to check if you are near one.

I hope not. I have it and I've worn it a bunch of times.

I was wondering when you were going to answer this. Lol! I like the pics I've seen of you in it.

[joanis018]

Ugh they only have red left and red looks horrible on me :-(
