I think short sometimes gets a little too short. Like when someone bends over you can see all.
I like mine just above my knee.
As for long with my short height a long dress doesnt look good on me.
Your thoughts please?

Well me I like my short skirts personally but thats just me. I do have some that are a bit too short but i only used those when modeling I was never brave enough to wear them outside lol.

Thank you.
No I dont still model as im 5 months pregnant lol. I only did it for like 2 years for fun and pictures. I was 27 and well theres not a big market for aging models I know sad but that is old for modeling. But it was fun while it lasted and a boost to my ego that I could still model after having two kids. Now im gonna have a new baby to focus on.

I love short skirts, always have, the only trouble now is that now I am getting older I have to watch that I do not look like mutton!!
I think the really short stuff is for younger girls in their 20s now, I hate it but I do not want to look silly, but I can still wear stuff that is just a bit longer than short so it is not all bad.

Im not sure what mutton looks like?
Yes the younger generation seems to like them.
My parents would never let me wear anything revealing. Now I'm set in my ways-LOL

I like dressing sexy when I can which isnt very often. But mostly for my hubby which enjoys it and can protect me-LoL
Mutton I should have known. It dawned on me what you meant after you said something. No I dont have blonde hair-LOL Just a little slow sometimes

Sorry, it is a saying that is used to refer someone older trying to dress as someone younger. Mutton dressed as lamb, mutton being an older sheep trying to pose as a young lamb!!

I prefer mine calf length. Your legs are a little warmer. You don't have to worry about it hiking up when you walk or sit. You can bend over without showing everything. Although I am short, I prefer longer. I think it adds a touch of elegance. At least that is what I tell myself.

You are right it is elegant.
I tend to get to hot if there is too much material.
Thank you for your views.

I rarely have the problem of too warm. I am one of those people that gets cold very easily. The extra lenght in the material helps that too, a bit.

I think it depends on a person's height and body type for what looks good on them. Different cuts and patterns of clothing can accent different parts of the body. I think mini skirts are ok if leggings are worn underneath. :]

it depends on the person's body,height,and the occasion on where you are wearing the dress.for petite girls,wearing mini skirt can help you look taller.for tall girls, a long dress with slit look great.for office,skirts that are midcalf looks polished and professional as opposed to miniskirt or long skirts.a nice dress or skirt will look great when it is worn appropriately.
