I have dresses that look good on me but, they are a couple inches too long, & I have to be really careful, or I will trip over the extra. This, among the reasons why I need to learn to sew. Sometimes I have gotten so bummed over the dress-trip thing I have just hacked off the bottom with a scissors. Um, I can't cut fabric straight & don't know how to hem so, fail. But at least I don't trip.
