should i hem this dress?

Claudia · Gucci

I voted to leave the hem alone. The dress looks great on you!

bluediamond · Dooney & Bourke

I voted to straighten it out.

I think it would look very classy and might become more versatile if you ever want to dress it up with some heels/pumps or just make it super casual with flipflops.

Cool dress, btw! Love it! It looks great on you.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I say leave it, I think it looks great. What about pairing it with some peeptoe wedge heels, silver or gold/bronze would look great. Or don't you have those burgandy Kenzie wedges or is that too many bows going on?

atlgirl · Gucci

I like it the way it is. And I agree that it looks great on you. I can totally see it with cute wedges, like FP mentioned. Or a kitten-heel sandal.

rlutz · Chanel

that dress looks so great on you...I like them hew the way it is

rocky · Coach

I voted for straightening it out. The asymmetrical hem is drawing attention to the wrong area, you should let the color-blocking emphasize that tiny waist of yours instead.

bex · Chanel

i say leave it alone...

and where did you get it! it is sooooo adorable!!!

ahh! it's almost tied! what to do! (thanks for all the responses!)

FP- i can't believe you remember those Kenzie wedgs! sadly, in a moment of financial clarity, i returned them and kept the black kors that lots of girls have.. I 100% regret it and miss those shoes on a regular basis

BEX- the dress is from forever 21, actually! i got it maybe 2 weeks ago? and it was only $25!

Rocky- i'm worried that it draws the attention to the wrong area too.. but i think some of it is the material and that it is cut on a bias so i don't know if it will do that regardless...

maybe i'll have to pin it up and compare...

exsupahero · Kate Spade

keep the hem, babe.

i normally don't say this but that dress look GREAT on you. It looks like that girlshop dress I saw awhile ago. Did F21 have it in another color?

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

i say straighten and maybe shorten a little bit? the dress looks fab on you so i'm sure it'll be fine either way but you have great calves so why not show 'em off?

Lilykind · Hermes

IMO you should leave the hem the way it is. I have a couple of dresses that do the same thing at the hem and it's totally cool. I think it's just the way the jersey fabric naturally hangs...like the way it does in this pic. Plus to get that drape, I think the dresses are cut on the bias and it seems like it would be diificult to mess with.
