In this photo, the skirt seems much longer. Go to image 5.

This is photo 5 I get from Whyme's link

Photo 5 ends at her hips, there is no way to tell how long the dress is.


It goes below the hips. We see that the outfit contains a jacket and a skirt. How long is the skirt is not known from this picture. But it does look like a longer skirt than in the sitting photo where it looks like the outfit is one piece.

Can I get 10 more witnesses to this?

No it does not look longer in that photo since you can't see her mid thigh, you can speculate about how long it is, but that is just that speculation. Mid to upper thigh is where the dress ends when she sits down, nothing to speculate about in that photo.

It is the same outfit in both photos. She is wearing separates: a matching skirt and jacket, and it looks like separates in both photos. It rides up when she sits and crosses her leg. The picture in the OP is not doctored as it is the standard picture used on many news sites, including the one why me linked to.

You can see her outfit in any photos/video from the event: https://www.google.com/search?q=ann+rom ... 7&bih=1045

It is a knee length skirt, but because of the decorative cuts along the hem, it rides high when sitting and would expose garment bottoms. Therefore they are either not worn, or rolled up and secured.

I could give a damn, except for the trolling commentary that the photo in the OP was doctored.

The skirt has a different hem in this video of the debate. Go to the end of the debate and take a look at the skirt. It is longer than the photo.

Someone should notify the guy from the navadian. He is looking like an idiot.

This and of course if an active Mormon woman who was less than positive about every aspect of the LDS church wore a dress that rode up this high she'd be ripped up over her lack of LDS standards.

It's the same hem. It's the same hem in all the photos from that evening.

There is one person who looks like an idiot, but it's not "the guy from the navadian."

Take a look at the video. The material of the skirt is different. Also, it is quite a long skirt. It reaches here knees. In the picture the skirt looks pushed up quite a lot. In fact, it looks like a one piece outfit. Also, the gaps in the hem are larger in the photo. In the video, she is wearing a nice outfit with good quality material. Her skirt would not climb so high when she sat down unless she bought it at k-mart. It would also be uncomfortable to sit down that way.

But hey, I could be wrong. :eek:

If you go to 1:31:44 in the debate video you can clearly see it is exactly the same hem that is shown in the seated photo.

The hem does not have such gaps as in the photo. And the material is different. Plus, the skirt comes down to her knees. In the picture, the skirt would have to be quite pushed up. The whole photo looks like she is wearing a one piece suit. Something looks wrong between the actual outfit and what it is in the picture.

I would also be surprised if Ann would sit that way with the skirt barely hanging below her hip. But...to each her own.
