My homecoming dress came today, and it is perfect except that it is very very short. The shortest layer hardly covers my butt. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to cover up, or to make it longer? I was going to wear booty shorts with it, but even those you can see under it. I appreciate the help😚 here is what my dress looks like.

Meg, it is a regular dress actually haha. The straps tie behind the neck as a halter, and the v neck is low, but it works for me since I am small chested. It is also for my school homecoming dance so unfortunately jeans won't work under:/ thanks for the suggestions though!

You could wear tights or stocking under. Take it to a seamstress and get panels added, lace would be pretty

Don't worry about it Meg! I didn't think you meant it like that at all!:) and thank you for the awesome tips! I will probably go and see someone about it haha.

That's what I was thinking Kim. I wanted to add lace or tulle to a slip and then wear it underneath but wasn't sure if the lace would make it look weird..? And then I was thinking some black sheer tights maybe. Thanks for the great ideas!:)

You could also wear a matching skirt under it, to make it look like it was longer🤓I don't know, it might look good, not %100 sure if that would look good though😊

Agreed with everyone here, lace would look gorgeous! Maybe a contrasting color?

Skirts would work well I think

Okay I'm glad that the lace is a good idea😅 I feel so much better now you guys. I will definitely look into the skirt idea Delara! I was thinking of getting a nude skip and sewing triangles of lace on it so it would go with the large ruffles of the dress? So I guess I'll se if that works! Thank you all so so much for your help! You all are awesome!👊
