How long should this skirt be

Remember this skirt?

Everybody thought it was too short. Well, there is a lot of extra fabric to have the hem let out. How much should I take out? Should it hit right below the knee? Is any more too much? I have another full skirt that hits well below the knee and I'm not sure I like that length either. So what do you all think? I would like to wear this skirt again, but haven't been able too since finding out it was too short. I don't want to look like a girl. Thanks!

Hmm, I don't think this shirt is too short. Looks just right to me. Maybe it was the denim skirt?

I'd go just below the knee, and wear it with strappier sandals. Welcome back by the way, you were missed.

I don't think it's too short. It would look good with a sleeveless fittied top and strappy sandals.

I think I remember the thread, and I don't think we all considered it too short. To me it looks like a very cute casual skirt, perfect for running errands, taking the kids out, etc. It doesn't look "smart casual" to me and I'm not sure the length would substantially change that. Why not embrace it as a fun casual summer skirt?

I don’t think we said this skirt was too short either. It's your denim skirt I thought was too short.

This is the skirt which you wore attending a casual family BBQ (with loads of wine!) You’d mentioned you wore it alot last summer, but not this Summer because it was too cutesy perhaps? It’s extremely casual and certainly fine to wear if you like it.

I think that the skirt looks fine the way it is, but if you feel it's too short I wouldn't add more than 1-2", so it hits right under the knee.

hmm...maybe too avoid looking too "cutesy", could you try tucking the shirt in? you could wear the skirt a bit higher on your waist along with a belt. that might make it a little more retro chic, a la june cleaver in that case, you might want to lower the hem a few inches, depending on how high you wear the skirt. i would still have it hit the knee where it does now - i think it's still a flattering length.

I like this skirt! Does anyone think would look really cute with a white tight top and some white flats?! Maybe pair a white headband with it and I think it would look awesome!
Or do you think it would wash her out?
