How to be ladylike in a short dress
Make sure your dress is an appropriate length.
There is virtually no way to be ladylike if your dress is just too short! A good rule of thumb is that the dress should go past the tips of your fingers. If your fingers can touch bare leg with your hands straight down, your dress may be too short.
Also, make sure that it covers your bottom and make sure your underwear isn't exposed. Remember, it may be long enough in the front, but it may not be in the back.
