I love how comfortable this dress is, but I need to have it hemmed--by a lot! I am old, and I've lost 2 inches in height. I am now 5 ft. tall, zero inches. I am also short-wasted! Ordinarily, I would hem a garment myself, but the horizontal band across the bottom of the dress is attached by such minute stitches that I can barely see them. So, I am trying to find a professional tailor in southern Maryland who can alter this for me. I do love the new long skirts and dresses, but I suppose I'll have to stick with companies that offer petite sizes.
