Arses, not sure I like my skirt

It's a no from me, KN, sorry. Mid-calf skirts are for women so thin they don't want their knees on display.

I am a similar body, same height and long body etc. I would go for the skirt that you have bought, because I totally hate my legs and want as much of them covered as possible, and I like the shape of that skirt - plus, with the little fitted jacket nipping your waist in, that is where other people's eyes will be drawn. But, if you have nice shaped legs then go for the other skirt that will show them off more, with as high heels as you can manage.

Not that I am exactly the fashion police, so please feel free to ignore what i say (I have lots of Jigsaw stuff though, I love that place).

or like me, legs so fat they dont want their knees on display! ?? How can I be a size 10 but still have really fat knees, it's not fair!

Hmmm, one vote either way. Shall go back and try the other skirt and switch if it's better. Appeal of longer skirt is that I can walk with longer strides- I hate teetering along in pencil skirts. Calf-length skirt is definitely giving me tree trunk legs though.

?

It'd be a no from me for mid-calf length skirt. I don't think they look flattering on many people so would probably go for the knee length one.

Even Margaret from The Apprentice wears knee-length skirts. There's conservative, and then there's looking like you've taken holy orders ?

Also, I like the golden rule that skirts should end at a small part of your leg. No one's mid-calf is smaller than the surrounding bits.

As a fellow shortleg/long body, it's a no. Might be rescuable by a pair of killer heels?

Sob, I spent all night dreaming about my skirt making my legs look short ?

WSS. The pencil skirt will be way more flattering for your body shape I think.

Right, today it goes back. Thanks all. I shall just have to learn to take little steps again ?

You will all be fascinated to learn that I switched it for a grey chalk stripe suit with pencil skirt- much nicer and also in the sale so £96 refund. Yay!
