| Lori Sews | 1/19/06 | Kim, it's very pretty! I think you have the figure to raise the hem up a bit--maybe mid-knee cap. :) It's really nice, and I loved that you lined it. I like all of my skirts lined. |

| Mary Stiefer | 1/19/06 | Very nice. I think you could also trim a bit off the hem and it would look great on you. |

| Busy Mom | 1/19/06 | Great skirt, great fabric. It looks good on you. I agree that a wee bit shorter would also be cute on you. |

what did you use for lining? |

| PegL | 1/20/06 | Very cute skirt! I think the length is very becoming where is it but if you'd feel more comfortable with it shorter then I wouldn't take it up over your knees -- mid-knee cap would be good. |

| AnneM | 1/20/06 | Very cute skirt. I remember that Threads article. Personally, I think the length is just fine on you, although you could certainly wear it at a variety of lengths. You might want to hem the front a touch more than the back. When looking at the side view I can see you have the same issue I do: your derriere takes up some space and raises the back hem slightly more than the front. |

| Kim Winson | 1/21/06 | THank you all for your excellent feedback! I appreciate it.
Suncentaur: I used "Hang Loose" lining, a polyester lining that I purchased on sale from a local independent. It's supposed to be static free...I haven't worn the skirt yet, so I'll have to report back on that.
AnneM: I noticed that the hem hikes up in the back as well. I don't think I have enough length in the skirt to compensate for that this time around...serves me right for forgetting to adjust for it when I shortened the pattern, LOL! |
