Jumpsuit - too short?

17 replies

mongoliandoll · 02/11/2024 15:04

I need something for 2 forthcoming informal dos - 1 a club awards night, buffet and dancing, the other a conventional Xmas meal with dancing (party outfit sort of thing).

Really struggling to find a dress that looks good.

Anyway, picked this up. I would want to wear heels. It's going to be too short, isn't it?

It would be too short for me to feel comfortable but I see other people wearing them like this and I don’t bat an eye, does it feel good? It does look lovely

90yomakeuproom · 02/11/2024 15:09

I don't think it's too short at all

Beautiful jumpsuit but I agree, it looks too short to wear with heels. As you can’t add fabric on, could you have it shortened and wear as a cropped style instead?

What if you wore kitten heels? Do you have any you could try?
I think with high heels it would be too short yes, which is a shame as it looks great on you.

I think you’re right, it will be too short with heels. What about Mary Janes or ballet flats?

Thanks all. I do have some kitten heels and other lower heeled shoes somewhere. I'll see if I can find them and try again. I really like how the top 1/2 looks.

Still too short with kitten heels. I'm 5'8" and 54 years old - I need to look elegant.
Ballet flats are just ok, but I only have a single stupid pair. Would sparkly gold or something work do you think? I don't have a good eye for dressing up.

You’ll have to keep it!

😂I'm out!

My sister (who tells the truth as only sisters can) says it looks good.
It also has pockets.
And it was £25 from Tu.

Do you have some black ankle boots that would be dressy enough? Will be far less noticeable if a bit short without the break.

Marlaysydney12 · 02/11/2024 18:49

It looks amazing on you! How about some sparkly/satin party flats. A pointy toe slingback would look great.

ChannelFiveDrama · 02/11/2024 18:51

I think it looks great.

Does it have a big hem on the trousers? If it does you could undo it and lengthen them

I thought of that, but alas no hem.

It's sitting on the top of your foot so should be fine with heels.
