how to shorten a skirt or dress that is too long in summer?

Summer is the perfect time to wear your favorite skirts and dresses, whether long or short. We particularly love the floaty bohemian dresses that are perfect when the temperatures rise. Contrary to popular belief, people considered short (less than 1.60m) can still wear long clothes ! This can even help elongate their silhouette if that is the effect they want. There is no no prohibited clothing, neither for a body type nor for an age ! So, if you are petite and like long clothes, then go for it.

However, some long clothes can be “too” long and drag on the floor, which is a shame because this can damage them and not be very elegant. Some brands like Asos or Prettylittlething have developed “small” collections to suit people under 1m60. There are also “tall” collections, which, on the contrary, are made for people over 1m75 tall. If you already have an item of clothing that is too long or have just purchased one, know that you can shorten it yourself without the need for sewing. This can help your dress or skirt flatter you better.

How to shorten a dress or skirt that is too long for summer?

It was on the social network Tiktok that we spotted two quick and simple tips for shortening a dress or skirt. First, with a rubber band. You must wear the dress inside out. Then, it’s simple, just take a rather thin scrunchie to prevent it from being seen, then take part of the dress or skirt at waist level. Tie the fabric and remove the dress. Then put the dress on again, but right side out. Adjust the knot made with the elastic to prevent it from being too visible, and that’s it. Then there is the cord or lace trick. Take one of these two objects and tie it at your waist. Then simply blouse the dress to shorten it. Very simple !
