is it me or are the womans/ junior dresses getting shorter and shorter? i look and see all these cute dresses and i think to myself for me this is a shirt because i am 5'8, i would wear these so called dresses with leggings or skinny jeans, what are other peoples opinions on this?

    HA.. considering I'm just over 5' tall.. I'm thrilled that I can buy a dress that hits my knees instead of everything being ankel lenght! My sister is 5' 10" and has your same complaint.

    I have the same complaints that you do. Finding dresses for me is a nightmare. My fiance will go shopping with me and will point out a nice "shirt." Most of the time I will reply that it's supposed to be a dress. He usually asks where the rest of it is lol. To each their own I guess.

    Ha. I am 5'7" with long legs and feel your pain. I treat those short dresses like tunics and wear them with skinny jeans or leggings.

    Um yes! Im 5 11 and I cant wear them without leggins. Theyre just tops for me. Ive been on the hunt for a nice cocktail dress for NYE and unless I go floor length - it isnt happening. boooo!

    Yup, I'm with you. I got the cutest sweater dress to wear to DH's grandparents tomorrow and his comment was "it's a bit short, isn't it?" I'm going to put tights on and tall boots. Of course I wanted to wear my 3" heels, but I think I'll end up with the flat boots instead. :/

    Glad I'm not the only one! On the flip side though.. if it's so short that it shows my undies when trying it on.. who the heck are they marketing it to? Is there a hooker exchange program that I'm not aware of?
