Too short

HollowTalk · 13/11/2018 17:05

You've got great legs. Wear it!

holidaylady · 13/11/2018 17:05

For going to an Elmer party it would be perfect

TheMonaOgg · 13/11/2018 17:05

Love it. Wear it.

SuperstarDJ · 13/11/2018 17:05

I’d discard.

CoperCabana · 13/11/2018 17:06

Too flared for the length I think.

Janus · 13/11/2018 17:06

You definitely have the legs for it so unless you are a grandma I’d keep it!

Fairylea · 13/11/2018 17:07

You have great legs but I don’t think the skirt is doing anything for you. The pattern / colours are just a bit Elmer Blush

Mercurial123 · 13/11/2018 17:07

I would donate to charity it looks dated.

It looks like that patchwork elephant from the childrens' story.

nooddsocksforme · 13/11/2018 17:10

If I had legs as good as yours I would wear it

DavetheCat2001 · 13/11/2018 17:10

Haha it is a bit Elmer!

I bought itsecond hand about 20 years ago.. it is dated!

Thanks for the opinions.. I think I may try and flog it to a much younger gal on Ebay who is into the 90's vibe! Grin

I love it but I’m old.

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 13/11/2018 17:14

It is lovely and you have fantastic legs but will you be comfortable? You won’t be able to bend over to pick something off the bottom shelf in the supermarket or reach up to grab something from the top shelf! Unless you wear thick leggings underneath? I have a skirt that I love but every time I wear it I’m very aware of how short it is and feel uncomfortable.

DavetheCat2001 · 13/11/2018 17:14

Probably same as me mimi!

Thanks for the nice comments. Feeling a bit shit at the moment generally so thank you Thanks

Think the skirt is a goner. It is far too short and a shot of gusset as you bend over isn't great!

Your legs and figure are great, Dave. My original reply was a bit snippy, sorry. It’s not a reflection of your body shape, it would be too short on anyone your height. Plus that pic is taken slightly from above/down so it probably looks a bit longer than it actually is in RL. It’s got to go if it’s showing gusset!

WatchingFromTheWings · 13/11/2018 17:33

I love it! Wear it with leggings or super thick tights. It's not too short at all. I'd wear it!

gingercat02 · 13/11/2018 17:33

Keep it looks lovely on you. I have skirts that length and I'm 49!

Bestseller · 13/11/2018 17:38

I don't think it's too short but if you haven't worn it in ages and aren't sure about it get rid. You won't start wearing it now

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 13/11/2018 17:39

FWIW, those of you saying ‘I’d wear it and i’m X years old’. I’m not saying ‘it’s too short for a woman of a certain age’, I just think it’s too short in general.

UCWorries · 13/11/2018 17:39

I Love love love it.
