I'm 5' 5" and I don't find the wraps short at all - in fact, the length is perfect for me, hit at the knee. I should note my legs are short, though. :sad:

But most of the other styles of DVF that I like are much too short, especially for work. Which wouldn't be a big deal if there were enough material to take the hemline down, but usually there isn't. No way are some DVF dresses appropriate for work because they are too short, no matter how she markets them as being work-appropriate :rtr: But once in a while something comes along that is ok in length and actually looks good on me, and like I said the wraps are the perfect length for me (Julian and Jeanne)

Thanks so much for the response. Do you find that yours bunches in the middle at all? It falls a bit shorter than I expected, but also gathers at the abdomen which is strange considering the weight of the material. Might be a sizing issue...

I love checking in this tread and seeing all the lovely dresses!

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with tailoring the silk jersey wrap dresses beyond simple hemming. I have one of the original Jeanne style wrap dresses with French cuffs, but for some reason the upper arm area is cut really generously. It's my normal DVF wrap size (I've always been super consistent with wrap dress sizing in both shorter and longer sleeves), and if anything, I'd always heard that the Jeannes tend to run smaller because of the tight full length sleeves. For this dress though, I probably could go down a size, but it's an older dress so returning/exchanging it is no longer an option. I'm wondering if it's possible to tailor the dress, but I'm worried that the silk jersey will be difficult to work with and it'll get ruin it. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

Agree they are often not at all suitable for work(well depend on type of work!) which is annoying as they are so beautiful! But thanks for giving me hope, I found the thread so helpful I eill hopefully find a suitable wrap!

This dress is very unforgiving as it clings everywhere but it's a keeper and I can dress it up for work
