LOL Reminds me when I was a teenager and worked a summer at my Dad's office-the son of one of his partners also worked there-and I had the BIGGEST crush on him! He asked me to lunch and on that day, I picked by favorite dress, made sure my hair was spot on, put on make-up, and while getting ready, decided to TEMPORARILY put on an old pair of shoes to "SHRINK" my feet for my new shoes I was going to wear that day. Well, you can guess it - I forgot to change shoes when I ran out the door and didn't notice until I was already at work!! I had a great kelly green dress, and broken down UGLY baby pink shoes!! I was so embarrassed!!

I have stapled and taped mine many times, hem comes out of dress, tape it, also I used to keep velcro handy.

We are worried that you might trip on the bottoms and fall -

Nope...didn't trip and fall today. ;) I'm home and out of those pants waiting on the A/C guys to show up then to get baby boy. :) Washing those pants tonight to take to tailor in the morning! :)

So - why aren't you hemming them yourself?

(That does kind of make me laugh - that you are going to take them to a tailor to hem them!!)

Because every time I try to hem them...I cut them too short and then end up with highwaters. Would rather a professional do it who can mark it while I'm standing on a pedastool so that it is marked properly and done in a timely manner.

Those dang hemlines keep moving when we bend over!

I do understand - it still makes me laugh, though!
