Sometimes I see dresses over at Forever21 that I really like but get disappointed at the length. They’re probably meant for younger buyers but as a woman in my 30’s I could actually see myself wearing them. Only if they were a little bit longer. Perhaps, just above the knee or so. Take for example these 3 cute dresses.
Box Pleat Bubble Dress
OK, while I may not actually wear this Box Pleat Bubble Dress ($27.80), I think it would still look better for a woman in her late 20’s if it’s a little longer. Right? It would be a cute cocktail dress for sure.
Lace Front Satin Dress
If they cut the satin fabric on the skirt a little bit longer, and added more of the peeking tulle underneath, this Lace Front Satin Dress ($22.80) would be such a fun and elegant Little Black Dress perfect for a party.
Studded Empire Dress
How gorgeous are the pleated detailing on the hips and the studded empire-waist from this Studded Empire Dress ($39)? Again, if it was a little bit longer this would look so elegant, chic and sophisticated for a woman like me in her 30’s.
Ahhh, oh well. I guess we can’t have all the pretty dresses, right?

Totally agree. Another gripe I have is some of their tops are way too long to be tops but too short to be dresses. There needs to be a happy medium!
but its shortness makes it perfect..
i mean, it makes the person who wears it
more sexy, elegant, simple, and fashionable..
how i wish those people who’ll be wearing those dresses has a very fine legs
or rather has an acceptable one..
a little bit longer would make the dresses sexy and elegant for a woman in her 30’s
You are so right! I don’t really think those dresses look right with such short hems- they look very childish to me, like something my little girl would wear (at least the first two). I was actually complaining to my husband just this evening, about this very problem. Of course, maybe it’s just that I’m also in my thirties!
