Skirt for a short pear.

[KurriKurri]

I am pear shaped, plump and short, can someone please find me a summer skirt that won't make me look like one of those dollies that cover old ladies toilet rolls.

I think slimmish A line

White Stuff have a nice fitted demin one

Plus their sizes are huge so you can feel skinnier

Yep A-line, shorter is better. Get the fake tan and moisturose your legs and get out there!

this is v flattering

My legs need to stay well hidden phooey - I'm too old!

The denim looks nice cyb, are patterns out of the question? (I quite like colourful clothes, but this has probably been my downfall)

at calf length

Oops cross-post! Ok if you like it

No patterns not out of question. I prefer a bold pattern to a ditsy print, personally

Knee length I can handle phooey, but I'd prefer not to delight the general public with any part of my thighs.

Yes bold is what I like, not ditsy - I don't think I can't get away with girlish prints

I would say knee length slimmish A line too. I have the White stuff denim skirt but had to chop a few inches off the bottom to get it to be knee length. Generally their skirts are the right length though I think.

How about this ?

Lots of lovely skirts in Monsoon atm.

Doh this

That's really pretty phooey - I like that kind of pattern and that colour. I'll try that on next week when I'm in town.

Have just measured, and 60 cms is just under my kneecap.

That one's nice too phooey, Monsoon definitely looks worth a browse.

I tried on that monsoon bird print one. It is all silky and slinky and shows every ripple and flabbery bit. Watch out.

Oh OK pointydog thanks - it might not be for me then (many flabbery bits here)

I thought if one area was bigger it was better to go for less fabric, so going by this wouldn't a long fitted maxi like this be the best. In black they look really classy with sandals.
