I tend to wear long skirts to balance out my bust otherwise I look too top heavy. I know they're not particularly fashionable, but short skirts look too tarty and mid length looks frumpy! (Also have a tummy which doesn't help)
Wondered what other pp with a similar size wear, am looking for some inspiration!Smile

I wear mini skirts with opaque tights. But I have good legs and certainly don't think I look 'tarty' Hmm

Sadly i am 5ft 1 with 36gg boobs. I am not tall enough for any item of clothes to even it out

Hedda I did used to wear short skirts in my twenties but don't think they would look right on me now I'm a few decades older!

I've got 30js. And great legs. I wear minis with opaque tights - makes it clear that I am not fat, just busty.

If I wear short skirts I just look like boobs on legs!

I'm 5'4" with 32 GG.
Pencil skirts work well knee or above never below. (Unless pregnant and then maxi looked great!)

Showgirl if you wear a pencil skirt, what do you wear on top?

Minis - either straight or a-line or flared, with thickish, cotton tights or opaques in autumn/spring. Usually maxi skirts in summer as I only really wear short skirts with tights apart from on holiday. I'm 49, so some might say I'm too old for this, but I like it so to hell with what others say.

Have you been properly, properly fitted for your bras? I look like boobs on legs in short skirts when if bras are wrong.

My size is correct but I'm an Apple shape and have no bum, slim hips and thin legs. I'm like a pregnant Barbie doll!Grin

34G and 5'4". Pencil skirts suit but I don't like walking any distance in heels. So I find this type of midi with a thin plain knit top works. Currently with brogues and opaques, but sliders in summer. Ignore the print, as it isn't for everybody. 2 small slits each side. This one is £17.50 M&S.

I have lumps and bumps, so a pattern is strangely forgiving. And everything else is plain.

I'm 5 ft 6 and have big boobs ( 34ff )
And like longish skirts
But can't find any I like
I'm too old (56 ) for short skirts
It's so difficult

Diana no offence but that skirt on me would look like I'm wearing curtains. Shock

Which is fine for the summer but not when it's cold!

Fitted, not tight, above knee skirt, thick tights and a loose top? Maybe order a few different shapes and see what works for you? Or book a personal shopper at somewhere like John Lewis and see what they come up with?

So one summer one winter but this sort of look. (Apologies for the terrible photos.)
Look at Christina Hendricks. Don't look like her! But I do have the boobs!

Me in short skirt. I look a bit rotund of waist there (actually only 28") but despite tits, I don't think that much leg looks tarty...

I wear short skirts too. currently with wooly tights & DM Boots or cute flats and opaque if I'm going out.

I find mid length skirts need a heel to look their best on me and I'm not a heel wearer.

I like maxi skirts though. If it's working for you, why change it?

I'm a 32GG btw, though DS & I have just finished BFing so I'm hoping to get slightly more in proportion again soon!

We have the same shape. I wear shorter skirts too. Might as well make the most of our good legs!
