I think the length is perfect as it is. Very elegant and makes your legs look like they go on for miles. Can't believe I'm disagreeing with your grandmother.
I'm over 40 and while my blog isn't specifically about being vintage over a certain age (its more about the vintage places I go and things I do, events I attend, things I'm sewing, etc.) it does reflect, I guess you would say, a more mature bent. I have a child and can't flit about on...
I'm planning an outfit right now that will incorporate a sweater and tie. We'll see how I look. Hopefully won't look too masculine (I'm tall), but I'm pairing it with a skirt, so should hopefully look o.k.

Let me add to the recommendation of a cobbler. I once did the same thing to a pair of Jimmy Choo slingbacks (it was a good weekend in Vegas that allowed me to buy them). I was absolutely sick when it happened, but I took them in and you can barely tell anything happened to them.
I was eying that dress on Etsy. It looks fabulous! And I had to giggle at your chin remark. My husband, when he takes pictures of me, now reminds me to lift my chin, as he knows I'll just delete the ones showing my chin pillow.
I know what you mean. I actually thought I saw you at the Long Beach Antique Fair a couple months back, but since I wasn't posting on the Lounge yet, I didn't want to feel like a stalker. It was almost like I saw a celebrity. "Oh, is that her? I think I recognize her". Felt rather awkward...
