The lace dp dress on mumsnet swears by.

Anyone find the slit at the back FAR too high? I'm 5'9 so it doesn't help but I always wear dark tights w mine and always have to yank down for fear of showing tmi. Shame as I love the dress and would buy in other colours but this puts me off and I haven't seen a tall version.

Oh dear... I ordered the grey and the dark pink, both arriving today, and I'm 5'9 1/2"... I shall check out the zip issue when they arrive...

Yes, way too high. I'm 5ft 8 ish and I considered sewing the slit a little to make it a bit more wearable. But in the end I returned it. Dare I say I thought it looked better on the website than in RL?

Can you link to the dress? I'd like a new dress and I'm shorter so the split wouldn't be as bad!

[HappyGirlNow]

They've arrived and I do like them but slit is v high May add a stitch or two... I'll have a think...

[HappyGirlNow]

Here you go...

That is a nice dress

[WeightyKaty]

It is a lovely dress and this is so annoying as it really doen't need to be so high. Will talk to a friend who is good at sewing and see what she can do.

They had the dress in my local DP and its a lovely dress. It gives an amazing hourglass effect, but I couldn't get it because it clings to my tummy in a very uncomplimentary way . I tried on the grey one and except the tummy issue is was sooooo nice.
