Does anyone have this Uniqlo skirt? And a general moan about skirt lengths online

[LaDameAuxLicornes]

...and if so, could you very kindly measure the length for me, please?

On a related note, WHY do so few online shops manage to list the length of skirts and dresses? Hobbs do, for example, and it is so helpful. I waste far fewer orders from them because I have a much better idea of whether something will suit me or not. A vague "on/above/below the knee" is no help as the knees of a 5´ woman and a 5´10 woman are quite unlikely to be in the same place. Are there other shops that do list lengths online?

Don't have that skirt but I want to join your chorus.

I cannot understand in these days of online shopping that the length of skirts and dresses are included in the description. Pisses me off no end. I know exactly how long i would like my skirts to be.

Otherstories is great for including the length. Most others, including Topshop are appalling. Surely it's not difficult to ad in length detail?

The size charts says the length is 43cm or 44cm for the largest three sizes.

Or even if they can list the height and dress size of the model. As a shortie I always find it a useful benchmark to know whether I'm looking at a model who is 5'8" or 5'11".

Generally models are tall.

Most on line retailers include lenghts - click 'size guide' and it details the lengths.

The models height is given for the other colour options if that helps?

I find the opposite Kilash.

@bigfatbloomers ah thanks - I'd assumed "size guide" was the generic guide to the fit of Uniqlo clothes, not the specific guide to that skirt.

Me too. I was quite impressed that they had.

When I looked at another one just to check, they even gave the length of the slit in the skirt.

Many sites list the height of the model.
With jeans, a cropped pair of jeans will be often listed by the inside leg measurement of the intended wearer, not the inside leg length of the garment - I think Uniqlo do this.

@MikeUniformMike yes, I agree the height of the model is often given - the problem for me there is that I'm 5´2, and models tend to be 5´7 as an absolute minimum and usually taller. So it doesn't really give me much of a guide!

However, Uniqlo and & Other Stories are being added to my list of "places that do", which is great.

I think at 5'2" you need to look for clothes marketed as petite or have a good idea of what will suit you. Midi and 3/4 or 7/8 lengths look odd on me - i'm about a couple of inches taller than you but don't have long legs.
Some shops/companies cut for a shorter or taller person.
Uniqlo and M&S are fine on me, top end high street tends to be a bit long.

I agree, when it says a midi skirt, or dress, it can be anything from just under knee to past the carf.
