Here's me in one (I'm 5'3"):<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sleeveless-cowl-neck-high-low-dress-report-marks-booties">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ks-booties</a></p> <p>I also have a tie-dye one that's longer in the front and in the back. I think high-low hems work better on me than maxis because I feel swamped in all the maxi fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-lo-skirt-hems-on-petites#post-1080380 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 04:49:15 +0000 Gigi 1080380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...maybe it has more to do with the silhouette of the skirt than the fact that it has a hi-lo hem. Mo, your skirt doesn't have a huge A-line look to it--it looks like it's maybe a little straighter than some. It's hard for me to tell because the picture is a bit at an angle. Maybe a straighter silhouette will emphasize the vertical aspect? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-lo-skirt-hems-on-petites#post-1080366 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 03:25:49 +0000 Mo 1080366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno - I have this dress and think the hem's okay? &nbsp;I'm 5' 4.5" &nbsp;Perhaps it depends on how high the hi-low goes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-lo-skirt-hems-on-petites#post-1080358 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 02:52:18 +0000 SandyG 1080358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5'1" here &nbsp;I bought a Zara dark floral to throw on after gym to socialize at the coffee shop, but never felt quite right&nbsp;wearing it. Too bare in front and too poofy-shapeless in back.&nbsp;Preferred a maxi skirt as it looked simple and casual.</p> <p>Let me know if you make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hi-lo-skirt-hems-on-petites#post-1080344 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 02:28:19 +0000 Gigi 1080344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my search for longer skirts, I now and then run into high-low hems. Would such a hem be unflattering on a shorter person? My guess is yes, because I assume they would cut off the leg at an awkward spot, kind of like a midi skirt, a style that is tough for petites to wear well. Does this reasoning seem sound to all of&nbsp;you, or am I narrowing my long-skirt selections unnecessarily? </p>
