OK ladies, here's my question... I'm going to see a show with my husband in a few weeks, and I've found a really nice dress. It fits like a dream, except with these legs of mine, the hem hits a little above my knee. (Just an inch or so.) I haven't bought it yet because of that. I like it, and it doesn't look bad.. But what do you think? (for someone in our age range)

Check the hem, if you are really uncomfortable with it's length, maybe you can take the hem down a bit and feel more comfortable.

Have fun!

A little bit above the knee is very acceptable for ladies our age. It is not a mini skirt! If you love it, wear it proudly.

Morning summer, if you've got the shape even for women our age, go for it. Nothing wrong with it. Just because we are the age we are doesn't mean we don't like to look goodbigsmile

You are so right Flame! We still want to feel sexy and have men look.

Summer go for it! If that dress makes you good, sexy and gives you confidence. Go buy it today!!!!!!:banana:

I didn't say nor imply any such thing. If she's questioning it I took it to mean she may feel uncomfortable and tried to give her a remedy.

As long as you can wear it comfortably and without twitching and tugging it, please go for it.flowerforyou
Hose and taupe shoes are supposed to be great leg lengtheners to help in styling....
Have fun!flowers

I say get it! You husband will probably be proud to be with you no matter what you wear, and if it's a little "sexy" that'll add to it! Have FUN!!!!!

I think it's a good rule of thumb to dress to flatter our figure. If we are comfortable with it, and our significant other is happy, then go for it.

If you will be self-conscious and embarrassed by it, then dress according to your comfort.

I'd wear it, but then some my dresses/skirts are occasionally referred to as one of my "belts" by my kids.

You can always try leggings under the dress. You still get the look, but everything important is covered up.
