Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?

Re: A pencil skirt
1. Make the skirt fuller and rapidly tapered in at the waist by means of pleats or darts. That little extra bit of fullness gets rid of the problem at the "wrong spot" but doesn't ruin the overall straight-long silhouette effect. You can afford to add a slight taper inwards once past the ...

The last point is that earth-like planets are vanishingly rare. We are incredibly lucky to be on a planet that’s just where it is. I just wish we took better care of it.
