‘Get Up Stand Up’
I may not be tall enough to wear a calf-length dress over pants, but I love the look. These images are from June Vogue.

Is that your Celine in the first photo? It’s a great look, but I agree, you need to be tall.
You can wear if you’re short. You just have to make peace with looking like an American Girl doll (of the Vucirian era).
Darn phone! Victorian era, I meant.
Worn as in these (lovely) photos the look is wrong for my proportions as well, but I’ve been wearing the midi split-tunic over pants a lot already this spring.
I don’t know if its nostalgia for John Meyer and Villager clothes from my youth, but a little print dress gets me every time. The dress in the top image on the tall, slender model is sophisticated and fresh looking. On me, probably not! But, I love the look with or without the pants.
I love these photos and love pants under a dress.
How tall do you think you need to be? I’d love some advice
I think that they could work on a shorter person if you were to wear over a slim leg.
