I have treated myself to this Paul & Joe number. It is the most I have ever paid for a dress. I was/am hoping it will be a classic I could use for a few years eg for special evenings out with my hubby.
It arrived yesterday and it is so lovely. It is the perfect red and does wonders for my skintone. In lots of ways the fit is fab (the folds disguise my mummy blubber tummy very well) but the issue - to my surprise - is length.
Okay it looks short on the model but I am 5 ft 1. Actually the real problem is the split at the back which is really long. I literally can't bend over without flashing my pants.
Do you think it would be possible to have this altered so that the split is shorter?
I could exchange for a size up but I'm losing my pregnancy (4st and counting) and don't want something which will be too big. They've also sold out in a few places so I don't want to send mine back and never be able to find it again.
I bought it from Question Air which has a 48 hour returns policy and so need to decide by tomorrow!
