I got this sleeved Maxi dress a few days back and was experimenting different ways to wear it.
With a vest, belted or a with tee on top, and I found a way to shorten it.

Yes, temporarily!

For ladies with a lose or moderate fitting maxi dress, there are two ways to wear it.

Put on safety shorts or boxers, it must be hugging and without lose cloth.



Tuck the hem of your Maxi evenly into your shorts, approximately an inch or two, and pull all excess fabric down. Now you have a second hem. Neaten the apparel and you have a shorter dress!

Okay, Awesome.
