I am 5,8 and think that my 'just' past the knee length looks really good. femine, not revealing but flattering.

Depends what occadion you want it for and also your waist size etc...

I go for knee length too, I really like Monsoon version of knee-lengths! Usually size 8 sometimes 10 in there if that's relevant. (which is probably isn't)

What style do you like? I also think that shorter ones with leggings and big jumper look great, but I'm a fan of that look - I realise it's not everyone's thing.

gigglewitch me too.

I just realised i couldnt spell in last post!

The jumperdress looks great with the tights that stop at the ankles and then some great heels.

Principles do great knee lengths

Depends on your legs as well IMHO.

I tend to wear skirts slightly above the knee as I have the calves of a Russian shot-putter so below the knee makes my legs look chunkier.

im a brunette too. Princaples did a lovely flared knee length skirt...i have it in white and used for my dd's christening but they also do it in may other colours.

What is your fave colour and what colour do you normally wear most?

I think as your tanned you could get away with anything!

hey that one is lovely, Rum . should have checked the link out before posting

Chellesgirl · 19/04/2009 00:01

hehe. But Rum you have to remember to put it with a neutral top, i.e. the same one in the pic or v.similar colour or it may look odd...

rumdontbotherreplyingmum · 19/04/2009 09:18

Thanks for that tip CG, also for the link.
