Now should I do a wide leg opening? Or would a skinny fit be flattering? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-shorts-length-for-plus-size-bottoms#post-139280 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:06:35 +0000 Michelle 139280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the same boat as you, Lauren, and I have to second the advice above. I used to feele more comfortable with the extra coverage provided by mid-calf-length items, but I've been convinced that the lengths ChewySpaghetti mentioned are more flattering and leg-lengthening. My personal favourite length is either right on the knee or just below it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-shorts-length-for-plus-size-bottoms#post-139278 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:30:59 +0000 chewyspaghetti 139278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try some clamdiggers or bermuda shorts that hit somewhere between the widest part of your leg below your knee, and the top of your knee. You will just have to try various lengths/styles on to find the perfect combination, but if you take pictures and post them here we can help you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-shorts-length-for-plus-size-bottoms#post-139274 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:27:37 +0000 lauren 139274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always dread the summer months because I can't stand my legs and butt! I was hoping someone could tell me what length shorts (capris?!) would flatter someone who is a size 16 with cankles. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall but my legs are on the shorter side.</p> <p>Please help! </p>
