Thanks for the compliments. 8/17/05 7:04 PM

BjP said... Lovely skirts and I especially like the shorter version (only because I have never ever worn a long skirt in my whole life). They both look great on you and glad you are happy with them. Lovely. 8/17/05 10:04 PM
Debbie Cook said... Both skirts are great on you, but I especially love the longer green one -- my fav color! -- and it looks so nice with the pretty top you're wearing with it. 8/17/05 11:20 PM

sew2little said... These both look great on you--and much taller than 5'4"!! And that's a compliment! (and I agree, it does look like an Irina skirt!) 8/18/05 0:21 AM

Danvillegirl said... I like the skirts. Green one is my favorite, green is my favorite color and looks so summery. The shorter skirt is nice also but reminds me of fall and I am not ready for fall or winter yet. Like the blouse with the green skirt also. 8/18/05 5:50 AM

Harriet Rogers said... Both skirts look great on you, but I'm partial to the long one: looks very graceful and cool. Very lovely flow, and I agree with sew2little that you look much taller than 5'4 in the long skirt. 8/18/05 10:29 AM
PVA said... Thanks for the review & photos. Like the others I'm so impressed with your elegant style! Also, thanks for the hemming details. I love gored skirts & I'll have to try that hem. 8/18/05 10:41 AM
PeggyA said... The skirts are wonderful, but what I really like is your garden!! You always have the most beautiful backdrop for your photos -- makes them especially fun to view. 8/18/05 1:21 PM

JDpenelope said... I really like the pronounced flare in both skirts. Can't decide which one I like best, because they both look so great on you. Thanks for rolled hem tip. 8/21/05 6:19 AM
