Knee length dresses looks good on me but there are hardly any of them about at the moment. Midi's only look good when I am wearing heels and I don't get the opportunity to wear heels that often, especially during the day! Short dresses only look good when I am wearing thick black tights in the winter. Here lies the problem. It's difficult when you know what suits you but there is nothing in the shops to suit your figure!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-41023003582390252182017-04-11T06:39:36.038-07:002017-04-11T06:39:36.038-07:00I still maintain you need a waist or else to be wi...I still maintain you need a waist or else to be willowy (I'm looking at you Kat). I've seen lots of people who just look round in them (and they don't normally). However, I love them. I've had three, a plain black, a black and white micro pleat and a full on huge flower pattern one. And they've all gone again. It's hard for me to learn ;-) I have too short a body, so a tucked in top or one that stops at my waistband is a terrible look on me. And if you look at me side on I appear about 3 sizes bigger. Many moons ago I had a pleated one where the tops of the pleats were stitched down for the first few inches. It worked. I'd probably just look like my mum in it now :D It was from Planet or somewhere similar ;-) xxLynseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709801772137358595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-84004770642837051532017-04-11T01:16:24.950-07:002017-04-11T01:16:24.950-07:00Looking amazing in the Skirt....

As for dresses, have decided that my days of short short dresses are over - it's rarely warm enough and I've developed a fear of flashing! I'm on the lookout for below knee midis or lengths that hover above the knee, don't mind about sleeves, with the exception of capped sleeves, I find them really unflattering, best to have no sleeve than a coat in my book. Look forward to seeing what you've found and thanks in advance!

Which is fine when you're standing up, but makes for a really dull look when you're sitting at a table having lunch, for example. Any suggestions? (One's that Zara one that was everywhere last summer, the other's a dark New Look one with a kind of tan/purple leopard print on black.)

Instead I ended up with a black-with-white-polka-dots one from Debenhams (haven't been in there in years!), which I love, so in the end I'm glad I didn't find a plain one! I've already got a black lace midi a bit like the last one you show, except this was from the Zara sale about 2 years ago. It's really heavy lace, looks and feels far more expensive than it actually was, but I struggle to find tops that don't look too overdone (I'm more of a scruff than a posho!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-88334775558882476232017-04-10T10:53:00.279-07:002017-04-10T10:53:00.279-07:00I have dipped my toe in to the world of midi skirt...I have dipped my toe in to the world of midi skirts this year, it's petite fit, so is proper midi length for me. Navy with a cream floral print and 'pockets'! I'm planning on wearing with a breton tee or grey graphic tee and sneakers/brogues and my leather jacket on colder days. But more styling ideas will be gratefully received. Danish Pastryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123972992199553087noreply@blogger.com
