On The Street.... Blue Dress, LES, New York
This girl was not very tall and yet the dress did not overpower her. I think the real key is the just below the calf length and the the fact the front is slightly shorter than the back |

post a commentSarto, I admire your ability to find beauty in what to my eye is a wonderfully unflattering smock...or moo moo...or tent.
Do you really want to promote the wearing of flip flops? Please, ladies, don't let Sarto convince you that this is an attractive look.
The color color is nice, but think of how lovely this woman could look if she were well dressed.
love the casualness about this dress - beautiful colour too!
I hadn't noticed this trend of the varying hem lengths until viewing your site, Sartorialist. I seem to remember you featuring a similar hem on a women wearing a black gauze dress with leggins.
It shouldn't work, but
somehow it does.

a bit lindsey lohan meets mary kate olsen: boho, working really well here. i particularly like the colorcombo of indigo and brown, including the aviatiors and flipflops. she cool.
I like the asymmetrical hemline especially on the petite ladies. She looks comfortable and very beautiful.
I have to agree with Otto, it's somewhat unflattering. Even casual clothes can come with some sort of shape. Being not very tall myself, I think it would help if this lady put on a belt, (or chose a different outfit), so that you could actauly see her waist.
I loved the outfit,but the flip flop.....
ugh if only she was wearing a wedge...gorgeous color though
While I think that in this case the dress is [i]probably[/i] meant to be a bit longer in the back, it cannot be always be presumed that it's by design. All the similarly-styled halter dresses I've made/owned have sagged in the back and need to be tugged back into place every few blocks.
That said, I DO like the longer back usually.
