I have 2 full skirts that are not the most flattering on me, but definitely the most weather-appropriate option in summer. They are to the knee or just below. Any shorter and I would look like a little girl.</p> <p>Pencil skirts I prefer to keep above the knee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-122057 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:58:19 +0000 taylor 122057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Angie..YIKES. This is the very* shortest* dress I own. It is 3 inches above..Mine are ususally about 1 or 2 inches... this looks a bit shorter ..perhaps my stance<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/46729777@N06/4292553296" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....4292553296</a></p> <p>I think I may be in big fat trouble with Angie now:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-122051 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:44:44 +0000 Angie 122051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, do you mean you went 2-3 inches ABOVE the knee? </p> <p>Debbie, around the knee is an excellent length. The dresses that you've already shown us are spot on in length! What's your height? </p> <p>Ahem.....I actually wear funky calf length skirts from time to time!!! But NEVER to the floor unless I'm going to the Oscars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-122014 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:02:07 +0000 cciele 122014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You ladies are very wise! I also think anywhere from 2-3 inches over to maybe an inch below is fine, depending on your proportions. Definitely not calf length though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-122012 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:57:17 +0000 taylor 122012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we validate each other...You are so right the balance doesn't change and as long as we aren't sporting mini skirts I think we are OK:) To the knee was such an awkward looking length on me...threw everything I wore on top off. You hit it on the head Sandy....balance is the key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-122011 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:53:15 +0000 Anonymous 122011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good, thanks for validating my thoughts on hems lengths Taylor. Just because we are over 50 doesn't change the balance and perspective of items hanging on our bodies, well it would be silly to tell every woman over 50, of all body types, you must now all have a hem at the knee. It will work for some and not for others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-121985 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:15:19 +0000 taylor 121985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mentioned this before .. in the over 50 crowd myself I dropped my skirt length to the knee and it just didn't look quite right...I am now about 2-3 inches over, and like San if I have on tights I am quite comfortable with that:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-121971 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:41:14 +0000 Anonymous 121971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree and if you add in hosery you can get by with a bit above the knee, I think.<br /> I wore a black AT ponte knot pencil skirt and it found it's comfortable place on me by just setteling in, this made it about 2-3" above the knee. I felt fine with it because I had on some pretty heavy Spanx patterned tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-121948 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:07:31 +0000 Louise 121948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knee length is perfect for all ages x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-121930 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:50:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 121930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dree-length#post-121923 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:36:24 +0000 Debbie 121923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am having a lot of trouble deciding on dress length.
