What general dress size are you?

IME, (being a fellow cankle sufferer) just above the knee is most flattering. Also either straight or A-line.

You need fab opaques and knee high boots. Boots have been the key to my wearing more skirts and dresses in winter.

Thanks! I have reently invested in some good boots so am feeling more confident about showing my legs, as my thighs are generally better than the lower half lol ~ I look ridiculous in ballet pumps (like an elephant would). Dress size is 8-10, but it's more the disproportionate calves than anything else, I have measured them, much wider than just above my knees

OMDB - do we share the same body I too am a size 8 and I have always hated how disproportionately large my legs are in comparison to the rest of me

However, boots have been my saviour

Enjoy your new found freedom
