LR's Hem Length

fthunt — Sat, 29 Mar 2014 16:43:55 GMT

She wore a dress Friday night - and another hem length that was straight from the 1940's when ladies 'shall not show leg".

I know - I know - heard LR doesn't like her legs but I'd rather see a shorter fashion-forward length on her. (she'd look younger) And, BTW, why does she appear to be tipping forward when dress & heels is her choice for the day? Strange posture..............

I loved the length...so classy and elegant. I love the clean lines of sheath dress too.

But...I do not like my knees, so I prefer to keep them covered.

At first I thought the length was too long but as the show went on I really started to like it. I did like the fact that the dress fit well and was not tight like the dresses she usually wears. I do think that dress is for standing only. I believe it would be a wrinkled mess if she sat down for any length of time. All in all, for at least $4,000 (dress $3,000 and Loubie shoes $1,000....excluding her jewelry) she looked good.

That length elongated her body. I rather liked the dress and style. Very 'classy'-classic-chic. Very expensive looking.

That's the new fashion. Midi and tea length are coming back. Look at spring 2014 trends. Forget your maxi dresses.

I thought the length of the dress was strange. It made her legs look like stubs - would have looked better a bit shorter!! The dress was pretty and the hairstyle, though not my favorite, gave her an ol' fashioned look!

For the first time in a long time, I thought the dress was great on her including the length. Perfect for doing what she does ... hawking on a TV shopping channel. Not overly dramatic, skin tight, TMI hanging out, fell perfectly around her body, and covered the flaws perfectly, not ridiculously overdone and dramatic like a beauty pageant contestant...

Someone should work with her on the hair. This updo seems to be acceptable on a younger woman for some reason (google it), but on an older woman it looks dated.

$3000 for a dress, eh. Speaks volumes.

Likes the dress. Hated the hair

When I watch Lisa, which is not very often, I notice her clothing styling is changing. Doesn't seem she can win with this crowd. Not a big fan but with some she can't do anything right.

Interesting she is loved or hated.

Lisa always tries to be on the cutting edge of fashion but somehow misses the mark. What looks good on a tall slender model just doesn't translate the same on someone a foot shorter. That hemline was just sad on Lisa, with no leg room to take a graceful step. Or maybe it was her shoes. Then there's the hair -- a take on Dolly Parton in an up-do. Don't love her or hate her, just don't understand her mindset. IMO she's always comes off awkward.

I love the re-tro length and generally that look in particular---platforms, heels even little "cocktail" hats

she's a ""poser""

Her hair is thinning. She is struggling with it. Didn't see the dress but I like her hem just below knee on her with her curvy body.

Below the knee is a perfect length for her.

I love the dress and the length! I thought she looked long and lean in it, IMO.

I do not like my legs so I do wear that lenght or just a tad shorter. Always.

My son is getting married this summer. My D-I-L to be wants the moms not to wear a floor length gown. I'm going with a tea length.

The dress length is perfect - especially when you sit down. Very lady like and classy. The skin tight shorter dresses speak ""trashy"".
