Midi-Length Full Skirt (Asos, $63)
The swishy, knee length full skirt is really hot right now. Reminiscent of a bygone era, this skirt is bright and perfect for spring. I’ll take one in every color.

It’s almost the end of March, so let’s get to some of the reader questions that came in through Instagram last night. Time for Ask Me Anything.
Need a cute dress for a spring event? Something simple and easy to wear, something you can dress up or down? This is the dress for you.
As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
Belle, How would this look on a gal with a thicker bottom half?
As a girl with a thicker bottom half, if you can define your waist and choose the right length, it would probably look just fine. Experiment and try on a number of skirts – there can be a big difference in a skirt that hits right above the knee, right at the knee, or just below the knee. The most flattering length for my larger calves is just above the knee; showing my kneecap creates a longer line. Even at 5'11, a skirt that hits me just below the knee (unless it's a pencil) makes me look stumpy.
Great pick! I ordered a few things from ASOS as soon as online ordering became available in the U.S. and I've been meaning to order more. I'm heading over to the site to see what they have now!
B's right. It's all about the waist, and the view from the rear. But it's definitely worth a try.
