I actually prefer the shorter length of the two for the same reason carter and catnip pointed out, I think it's the "sweet spot" on my calves.<br />Elle, I might need to find a cropped top to try this on with before I chop it off. And maybe some flats and see if that makes a difference.<br />Thanks for your suggestions and comments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-long-should-i-hem-this-skirt#post-1211694 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 22:17:14 +0000 Catnip 1211694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the shorter length for the reasons greycat6 and carter gave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-long-should-i-hem-this-skirt#post-1211689 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 22:08:37 +0000 carter 1211689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter one because it shows the shape of your calves and hit you in a great spot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-long-should-i-hem-this-skirt#post-1211687 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 22:06:43 +0000 greycat6 1211687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter length but wonder if I'm swayed by the tucked in top.&nbsp; The shorter length seems to hit your leg in a place that makes the calf look gracefully curved.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-long-should-i-hem-this-skirt#post-1211675 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:44:31 +0000 Elle 1211675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are going to hem, then I prefer the shorter one. I know I'm in the minority but I actually loved the original length especially if you wore it with a short cropped top.&nbsp; I've seen a lot of skirts that length on the west coast worn with booties and a tucked or short top.&nbsp; Whatever you choose, I think you will be happy with the skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-long-should-i-hem-this-skirt#post-1211662 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:34:20 +0000 Gigi 1211662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one (the shorter one) better. But I also see that you have your top tucked in in one photo and untucked in the other. That may be affecting things. Do you plan to generally wear your tops tucked or untucked with the skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-long-should-i-hem-this-skirt#post-1211607 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:29:06 +0000 Care 1211607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After posting this skirt in a WIW, there were several suggestions that I hem it. The original length is in this <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-uniform-and-controversial" rel="nofollow">post</a>&nbsp; #1and2 are 5 inches shorter, #3 and 4 are 7 inches shorter. Which do you like best? Thanks! </p>
