The skirt is beautiful and so perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1683136 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 06:23:21 +0000 Astrid 1683136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gaylene! Yes, I can see what you mean. And right now I'm probably going to wear it only with these sandals and backpack, but maybe there are some dressier options in my future. It might be nice to have a summer skirt that can be dressed up too...</p> <p>Thanks Beth Ann! I actually own no other summer skirts right now. Crazy right? But in principle I would think shorter lengths are easier to find. I have one sewing project that's been sitting there for ages, a full knee length thin cotton skirt.</p> <p>Thanks Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1683096 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 03:53:12 +0000 Anonymous 1683096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what a gorgeous skirt ! I like it best longer - let that luxurious pattern and colour show ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1683065 Wed, 22 Jun 2016 02:45:49 +0000 Beth Ann 1683065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand what Gaylene is saying -- and it makes sense. &nbsp;However, I like the idea of a midi for you. &nbsp;Is seems that you likely have more of the shorter length in your closet. &nbsp;I like the weight of the fabric at the longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682913 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 22:12:54 +0000 Gaylene 1682913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm going to be bit of a spanner here because, while I like the longer length, I think the shorter length might look more in tune with the informality of your black sandals and backpack. To my eye, the longer length looks more elegant and feminine and calls for a less sporty shoe and bag. </p> <p>But, hey, I'm alone on this side of the fence, so I'd ignore me and go with the group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682836 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 20:03:49 +0000 Anonymous 1682836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yah,I agree that it would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682831 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 19:51:46 +0000 Astrid 1682831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks El Cee! I'm really happy with it, my style has been a bit too much tomboy lately...</p> <p>Thanks Diana and Sara!</p> <p>Thanks Smittie - and yes I think I would. I now use the backpack almost everyday and I think with the black sandals it won't look too weird. I personally feel the backpack goes with everything, although I guess not everyone would agree. And of course I'm taking only the backpack when travelling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682739 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 16:38:08 +0000 Anonymous 1682739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colours and print.

That is a gorgeous skirt -- so elegant and feminine. And you look absolutely fabulous in it! Enjoy your new purchase.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682693 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 14:56:29 +0000 Astrid 1682693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! I'm not sure. Maybe the other skirt will feel different enough. Maybe it will be sent back. We'll see. I was taking a chance on this one, the pictures and description weren't perfect, so it could have been hit and miss. One reason why I got it so inexpensive I guess. Anyway, it definitely exceeded my expectations!</p> <p>Thank you Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682659 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 14:21:54 +0000 Angie 1682659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queen Pedantic About Pant Lengths reporting for duty.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote <b>the longer length</b> too.

On your frame and body proportions and looking at your top length I agree that I think I prefer the slightly longer length in 1-3 Astrid.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682528 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 10:14:30 +0000 lyn67 1682528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It feels like &nbsp;brocade to me(so fabric has structure and weight) and looks &nbsp;dressy, &nbsp;so leave it midi, pls.! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682521 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:57:10 +0000 Astrid 1682521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Karie. That's what I thought, the longer length might be more in line with the idea of the cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682520 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:53:21 +0000 Karie 1682520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the longer length of #1-3. It's a beautiful skirt, and I think the A line of it with a lot of fabric makes it look better at a longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-length-for-this-skirt#post-1682517 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:40:17 +0000 Astrid 1682517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this unlined linen skirt on Ebay for a song. I didn't expect it to work so perfectly with my two new linen tops, but it does! :)</p> <p>But it definitely needs hemming. It's a very long a line, but not quite maxi length. I tried to pin it up to get a better idea how it would look shorter, but that was rather difficult - there's a ton of fabric hidden in the hems you see here, so it falls a bit strange. I first thought I'd want it to end just under my knees, like in the last picture. But then I rather liked the longer midi length in pictures #1-3. Any thoughts on that? How short should I go?</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
