Hate midi dress length, when will it go away?!

[CherryPlum]

Midi length does nothing for me, it makes me look frumpy. The problem now is finding a dress or skirt which isn't 'midi'.

I guess midi must suit some people? I never seem to see anyone in midi length in real life though. I waaaay prefer juat above the knee. Or full length. Anything but midi!

Easy enough to take up hems. More difficult to let them down especially as most of them are rolled now. I think a lot of it is about how you style them to avoid the frump look.

I love it. It's my favourite fashion trend in years. Long live the midi!

I love them too. What do you not like?
I still see a wider variety of dresses in other length than just midi available now.

I’m another one who loves midi dresses

I hate midi length clothing too, and think the look is very difficult to carry off on most people. I wish it would go away.

I love it - not keen on my knees

I love midi length.
Hides the knees.

Yes I love midi - don't like showing my knees now I'm that bit older, but I am fairly tall, which helps carry midi off. I wish the sodding Empire line trend would piss off; with big boobs I just become all breast and no waist, unless the piece is fairly fitted, and floor length.

I’ll take away midi if you take away skinny jeans and Capri pants for me??

I like midi length, find it flattering. I'm 5'5. Hate long length stuff as I feel it makes me look short.

Don't mind stuff knee length, much above the knee and I'm not keen.

I love it too! Perfect length for me :)
Sorry op

Hate it too. Worst length on me.

As a 5ft 4 pear, I'm with you OP. It makes my not slender ankles look twice the size.

I don't want to be altering every dress I buy.

Maxi can also make me look like a barrel, but there's nought worse than the dreaded midi.

Don't get me started on culottes...

I love the midi dress length.

Another fan of the midi 👋

Midi lover here. Makes for a convenient length summer dress for me as I am not blessed with attractive legs. Long skirts get in the way of everything.

They don't work for me because I am short and carry a few extra pounds around my hips/thighs. Knee length works best for me but it's near impossible to find these days.

Sounds like lots of people DO like midi then! I'm quite short so it's really unflattering on me. Makes me look like Dame Edna. I guess I can see how it could be good on taller people.

It doesn’t suit me at all. I tried on a pleated midi length skirt and it was laughable.

I like midi dresses, I'm too old for mini dresses (hate wearing shorts underneath too) and maxi's are too long, I'm 5,6 but they make them for giants

It suits me but I think it helps if you are tall

I don't like short because wrinkly knees and I don't like maxi because it makes me look like I am in full sail

Midi suits me - tall and slim.

It's the boxy, shapeless cut which makes me look like a sack of spuds.

I like them too (5'6), I find maxis are nearly always too long and are a tripping hazard going up stairs and I'm not keen on knee length, I feel a bit exposed in them when I sit down.

Go away? It's barely started

I prefer a longer length cos you can mess about with it, whereas with a short skirt there's nowhere to hide. I'm not keen on mid calf, unless it's with knee length boots, but I do like either immediately above the ankle (just short of maxi) or right below the knee. I'm 5'3.
