Meh - It's still definitely definitely on my wish list for the sales as it was an amzing fit and a perfect length, but it was neither full nor straight and I'm after full now. However if I can't find another one then I will deffo get that. Yes - it's definitely sa difficult for small as well as tall. I've found the ASOS skirt in tall in scuba which I'm v excited about and will order. Now on a little jumper quest!

It was gorgeous on you. I love all these midis but as a 6/8 5ft 3", git to be careful with proportions - would have to go very tight on top so no blouse,jumper which catapults it into high summer only for me with a strappy vest or even dare I say boob tube - mutton claxon alert! Think these midis would be lovely with a mid heel featured a few posts ago for day then ramp it up with 4 inch gladiators at night.
