By my calculation it's about 17 inches for the size 10 UK. I'd be a size 12 UK, so hopefully a smidge longer.
Because the bottle green color is amazing.

That is beautiful, I think it is not too short for your legs and lifestyle Anna, however, if you are concerned about the length I wonder if you could size up so the skirts sits lower on the hips? You may just wrestle an extra 2" of length this way.

I think so. For me it would be, due to the pleated shape. I might wear a skirt that short with flat boots or flat sandals if it were a straighter shape, but a short, pleated a-line skirt looks too Catholic schoolgirl for a woman older than 25, even if it's leather.

The bottle green colour IS amazing, though. And it's a cool skirt. Sorry to be a party pooper.

Didn't you try one last year and Angie said it was too juvenile for you?

17ish" would be mid thigh-ish, but will feel shorter because of the flare. Up to your comfort level.

The bottle green is gorgeous.

It doesn't look bad in the lookbook photo at all. And you do go to bars and parties and stuff where a shorter skirt is fine.

That bottle green *is* fantastic. What Rae said. Altho, admittedly it would be too short for me to want to wear anywhere.

It is short, IMHO, and it is flared. If it were one or the other, I would say go for it. Both brings to mind a very young silhouette. Not quite cheerleaders, but in that vein.

Well it is short, but do you really care? IMveryHO your legs look amazing in a bit longer. But....you wear short and since figure flattery is not you main fashion goal then maybe I don't understand the question. Too short for figure flattery? Too short for age? Too short for climate?
How long are your BF shorts in inches? I personally prefer that length on you.

I think this short would look best with low contrast legs.

It would be borderline to me. I wear 16" skirts that sit low on the waist and are straight. 17" up at the natural waist with the flare might be pushing it. Just at the fingertips is no longer okay for me, but it might be for you.

How are you panning to wear it? With tights or bare legs? For me personally, ~18" is my limit for tights, ~20" for bare legs. I do have really long thighs though.

The green is gorgeous.

What RoseandJoan said. I would try the UK 12 and UK 14 to see which is better.

Actually I should just see if my local store gets it in stock and see in person. But I have no time to shop between now and September.
