  • Although these attractive midis look great on tall thin women, on 5 foot me, not so much. I would say the length of the olive green full skirt covers the knees but would work better on me. Nevertheless, I love the look of the tulle skirt, the pale blue and white paisley, and the other pleated skirt. Plus your tips are terrific!

    • What looks best on petites, Allison? Is there something you would like me to blog about? All requests are welcome! P.S. I’m only 5’4″ but I wear all lengths – short, midi and maxi. I do have to respect my body shape, as we all do, with certain considerations in the clothes I choose (I’m an inverted triangle with a full bust.)
