Midi skirts ~ frumpy or flirty

It seems as though mini skirts have been in for eons, indeed, a lot of our customers ask us to chop inches off our vintage dresses to make the skirts mid thigh, rather than their original mid calf length.  However, times are a-changing, and as more and more longer length skirts hit the high streets, it looks like midis might be staging their comeback!

As vintage fans, we love a demure mid-calf length, so flattering and so elegant ~ but yes ~ there are concerns that they're simply not sexy, not to mention un-flattering on those more petite ladies.  But fear not! As these vintage vixens prove midi lengths do not need to be frumpy, and if you aren't blessed with giraffe-like limbs, just make stack heels your best friend this season.

Our vintage inspirations for this seasons look include ~ Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde, Maria Schneider in The Passenger and Farah Fawcett in general.

Beautiful!
