Petite midi skirt recommendations?

I’ve ordered a few “midi” skirts and returned them as they’re all too long. Same for dresses.
I’m 5 4” with a long body and short legs. Does anyone have any particular brands they would recommend?

I’d be interested to know too

MaryLennoxsScowl · 10/04/2021 20:07

Topshop petite range, or ASOS do petite too. I usually hem mine, or if they’re jersey you can just cut them shorter and don’t need to hem.

Following with interest, I’m same body type.

I'm finding no luck I'm afraid.

I wish brands would cater for petites more.

Thank you! I did find one a liked that was topshop but out of stock in my size 🙄. I’ll have a look at ASOS. Sometimes find their website a bit overwhelming, so much stuff to sift through!

Just noticed the petite option is on some, not all www.abercrombie.com/shop/uk/search?departmentCategoryId=84593&searchTerm=Midi+skirt

I've a fair few midi dresses and skirts, I've found new look and boohoo petite range to be best for them. A couple of maxi dresses i got from m&s, meant to be midi dresses but work as maxi outfits on me (I'm 5ft).

Thanks @Tweetypietwo
I like this one but no hope
Of me squeezing into an XXS 😂. Not sure I can get away with the slits if I wanted to wear it for work! Some lovely patterns though!

Oh and h&m. Not petite range but some of my favourite skirts are meant to be knee length ones but are midi on me. Not somewhere I'd look but I was dragged in by teenage daughter looking for clothes in Dec. I ended up with four skirts all from sale rack!

I’m 5’3 and I have better chances of finding a good length with Asos and New Look.

Christmascaker · 11/04/2021 09:19

That ones great, thanks @Annecat
Clever to order one style but use it for a different purpose, that had never occurred to me 🙄

@Christmascaker I can't take credit. I read it
here on a similar thread a few years ago. Someone linked a m&s dress that worked perfect as a midi dress for petites. Always check knee length or midi ranges out now

IdblowJonSnow · 11/04/2021 09:36

God, what is with all the fucking slits on these clothes? Makes an otherwise lovely item completely unbearable for me. My thighs are not my best feature! Otherwise good legs from the knee down!

HiGunny · 11/04/2021 11:25

I'm 5 ft 2 - have never found any particular shop that I can get midi length from, it's more a case of looking at the pics and descriptions to find something. This year I got a couple of nice midis from H&M and Monki. The H&M were described as knee length so I knew they'd suit 😁
Very few sites you can filter "knee length" though, it's just mini or midi 😠
