The NEW lasses wear thread

***. Same here (5'2") I look like Mrs. Butterworth in floor length skirts.
Tall women look amazing in long skirts.

Again, shorter skirts aren't about the amount of skin showing it's what silhouette looks best on which body type.

I agree. My wife is 5' 10" tall and can definitely pull off the long tartan kilted skirts and always looks stunning. My sister, however, is 5' 6" tall and the ankle length tartan skirts look okay on her, but not as elegant and nice as on my wife - no offence to my wee sis, who I love and cherish dearly. Makes complete sense, I suppose.

Some women look wonderful in longer skirts. However, I don't think I am one of them. Anything more than an inch below my knees and I look more and more frumpy, the longer it gets. I think it has something to do with the fact that I am 5'3" and on the curvy side. Even when I was thinner, it was the same.

At five foot, anything between my feet and my knees has the potential to make me look stumpy, especially if it is a straight/sheath/pencil skirt. But with a trapezoidal skirt (A line) I can get away with mid calf, and adding a petticoat improves it tenfold, and can make me look fabulous.
