During a Sex and the City: The Movie reunion on Oprah last week, Sarah Jessica Parker looked positively lit from within wearing a bright floral frock. I think it's a sign that I need to buy something floral, too... that, and the fact that my neighborhood has literally come to life with an eruption of colorful spring flowers including dogwood, magnolia, crabapple, and cherry trees as well as flowering shrubs and bushes like forsythia, azalea and now, lilacs.
Of course, I know florals are huge for Spring, but it seems like lately, the entire universe is conspiring to make me take notice of this trend, take the plunge and actually buy something with a floral print - and it's working!

A skirt is so feminine. It's sexy. It can hug the curves or caress them gently as the fabric cascades over the skin. Italian skirts come three ways. There are gonnellone (long skirt), gonna (mid-length, usually just at or slightly above the knee) and a mini gonna (mini, or short skirt). Many people equate the mini skirt with sex appeal. In this article, I'll show you that a skirt of any length can be both feminine and sexy. 1) From Mantani's Autumn 2005 collection, we have this lovely long skirt with an asymmetrical cut.

Christians Under Attack -- A high school senior and an elementary school student were attacked in the Mediterranean town of Mersin (Turkey) with strong acid spray. In two separate incidents within the same hour both girlswere approached from behind by a group of young men who commented on the length of their skirts and told them it was too short. The girls were sprayed with acidic substance that burnt and melted their stockings and caused deep lacerations on the back of their legs. The girls were treated in the hospital. The police is searching for the culprits that are believed to be the same ones, in both incidents.According to media reports, uncovered women in Mersin, who wear shorter length skirts, are in fear of similar attacks.

Why Do Men Love Leather Mini Skirts? Pictures from: http://kinkygerlinky.blogspot.com/ It may seem like a fairly unimportant question, but have you ever thought about why men love leather mini skirts so much? Of course, there is the obvious answer that has something to do with the actual amount of a woman's body that is left showing by a mini skirt verses the amount of the body that is left up to the man's imagination. Or it could be because of a fantasy that has previously established itself deep in the mind of a particular man. Or it could be because of the prehistoric notion of leather and some ingrained instinct that draws a man to the supple, smooth surface. But whatever the reason is why men go wild over mini skirts, they are a definite hit! Mini skirts have been around for years, and they never quite seem to go out of style. Of course, there are different arenas when a mini skirt is probably inappropriate, generally in any work place
Stone Age mini-skirts and prehistoric women with a passion for fashion By DAVID DERBYSHIRE For four decades, fashion gurus have argued over the origins of the mini-skirt. Some say Mary Quant came up with the design in the Swinging Sixties, while some point to Frenchmen Andre Courreges. Some experts even claim it made its first appearance in Hollywood 10 years earlier. But now archaeologists say the true origins of the mini go back to the very dawn of civilisation. They have unearthed evidence that Stone Age women were warning mini-skirts - along with short tops and bracelets - more than 7,500 years ago. A series of stone figurines wearing the prehistoric fashions were unearthed at one of Europe's oldest known villages - a community that nestled between rivers, mountains and forests in what is now southern Siberia. The finding pushes back the origins of fashion and art in Europe by hundreds of years to a time wh
After a scary couple of seasons where every shift dress and skirt seemed to come in one length only – super-short. The midi skirt ends somewhere below the knee, leaving lots to the imagination, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be sexy – when teamed with patent stilettos and a fierce chiffon blouse this style can be really good.
With the coming of fall also come real clothes for real curves. Most plus size women love this transitional time in fashion to pick up a few essentials like plus size skirts that liven up their wardrobes for the new season.

Summer is almost over and some of the readers of my blog knows about me that I do wear kilts, actually, I have got another business as well - www.kilts.org. By browsing today around the net I came across one article, which I would like to share with you. I hope you didn’t mind I have not written it by myself.
Until now, men have considered the idea of wearing something other than pants or long shorts in public to be nothing less than a sacrilege against humanity. Although, throughout history, the concept of men wearing skirted garments was all too common. After all, pants were not widely used by any society more than three hundred years ago. - Pants were originally an invention to make it easier to ride a horse. The idea stuck, and the two-legged garment became standard apparel for working men to stave off cold and abrasion. (more…)

After a summer of voluminous bubble and balloon skirts, we are back to the very sexy pencil skirts for the fall. The pencil skirt is a classic, it will never hurt to have a well-made one on your closet. The curve-hugging silhouette slims and flatters most body types. Be sure to pick a length that works for your height. For me, who's not that tall, I think around the knee is the best. If you are long and lean, you can go anywhere from the knee to mid-calf.

Presenting the Hemline Theory of stock market performance.
According to Reuters:
Lower hemlines are coming back in fashion for spring and that could spell bad news for the U.S. stock market.
The higher the hemlines, the better the outlook for stocks, according to a popular, but frequently disputed, theory. When hemlines drop, watch out — the Dow Jones Industrial Average is likely to fall, the theory goes.
Bolstering the hemline theory, miniskirts were in vogue and stocks rose in the 1960s.
By the early 1970s, the Arab oil embargo forced Americans to endure gas pump lines, the economy suffered and the popular style was the ankle-length maxiskirt.
I guess someday we can relate stock market performance to the phases of the moon, or to the appearance of some random comet in the sky, or to the height of women’s shoe heels, or perhaps to the number of men getting haircuts in a given month.
Won’t blame you if you want to see more miniskirts.

I am all about skirts in the summer time. Especially this summer when the temps here in Cleveland have been sweltering! The retro-meets-modern skirts of The Candy Factory are just the style I have been looking for. Incredibly cute (I love the mix of of fabrics and colors) and incredibly versatile. Easy to dress up for work (just add some sling backs and a nice top) or perfect for a day running around with the kids (just add a tank top and flip flops). Note to self: Remember to shave my legs!
We have dramatically extended our Sexy Schoolgirl Section. The demand has increased over the years.
The designs available have also undergone changes, since we have started in this business. You mostly found the red or green plaid skirts. Now there is a tremendous variety of styles and colors - all shades of pinks and blues, in addition to the traditional reds and greens. The styles are wild: provocative vinyl tops, and other sexy crop tops.
Wear it out - A short schoolgirl plaid skirt paired with a pair of Leggings, a blouse or sweater will be a perfect for a shopping trip, or an afternoon in the city. Do the same with the sexy tops, dress it up, wear them out to the club, with your favorite pants or skirt. Most of them are suitable and also look great with jeans.
Also don't forget Halloween is just around the corner, you might already want to look around for a costume. They always sell out quickly.

Glitter is obviously out with the old, as there are new ways to distract men's attention to shiny things. Though these LED-like miniskirts and push-ups raise heads up from Blackberries, they come at a price ($124 for the skirt, to be exact).

Isn't Kate Moss brilliant? As soon as she's seen wearing something new for a split second, I could write a whole post about the new Kate-inspired trend that's going to follow. Anyway, one of the latest is the maxi skirt:I have to say, though, that although the skirt itself is very pretty, her effort to tone the satin down by teaming it with really casual shoes and tops doesn't appeal to me that much. Rather, I prefer these types of looks:Carolina Herrera, where there were many to be seen: Two great looks at Ralph Lauren Black Label: All three are paired with sleeveless tops, to achieve a great elongated look - either fitted or loose. If you're wearing a T or cardigan, keep it really fitted, and, of course, tops in the same colour as the skirt are even better, as above. I have a black maxi skirt which I wear with a really fitted polo shirt. Also, as seen above, I add a pretty broad hip belt - in brown with my black outfit, and brown also works really well with white, as does a s

Most of us have tried (and many failed) the denim mini look. Some have gone to the opposite extreme and tried full lengths. What I want to try, though, is the knee length. In a way, it's amazing that I don't have one already. I didn't realise this, until trying on a rather cute one in Zara Munich recently:Note the waist height - not too low, not too high. The length is also good - not too long for summer. I rather like it. I like the front pleat, and the back was also good. There wasn't too much elastane, either.Another I've found is this, by D&G. Perhaps the denim is a little dark, though:There's another similar to that above at net-a-porter, by Notify.Alternatively, there's this by Citizens of Humanity at Saks:Overall, however, the Zara wins, in my opinion. I think a skirt like this could be a good alternative to smarter skirts - something nice for summer that's not too holiday-ish, nor to work-place-ish.

I recently bought these two skirts on eBay for $18 plus delivery (a little over $25 all up).
This skirt is by Tigerlily. I picked it up in as-new condition on eBay for only $13! It’s made from a silky cotton-blend fabric and hangs really nicely. It’s very lightweight and breathable — perfect for the hot Australian summer. It’s longer than it looks in the pic and the hem sits just below the knee.
Excuse the poor photo of this skirt. It’s a black cotton skirt that originally came from Sportsgirl. It cost me $5 on eBay. It’s also knee-length.
I love these eBay bargains!

The sexiest bombshell of the glam world claims that at one moment, she can be a temptress and another minute she can slip into a traditional Indian girl mode.The hottie says can shed her glam gal image just to win love. She gets candid and reveals some spicy secrets of an incident that took place when she was in school. "When I was in class 9th, I was so beautiful and sexy that every boy of my class was mad after me. Every boy wanted me to be his girlfriend but I never gave importance to anyone except for one guy who did not give any importance to me. I really liked him. I even thought of dating him and becoming his girlfriend. I got so much impressed with him that I left wearing short skirts. I started wearing salwar kameez just to earn his love. I think that was the first time that I realized that I am so sexy and appealing. However, I have no hassles turning into a social bird," says Bipasha.Popularly known for h
I'd like to try a straight skirt with my suit jacket and knee high boots this Autumn.
I'm a pattern size 18 hip, 16 waist, and tend to wear A line or flared skirts. Sometimes though I think this does just make me look large on the bottom and I want to try some straight skirts.
How would you make a straight skirt fit, and how do you walk in them?
As I have a big butt and broad thighs I guess I buy a pattern for the hips and then make the darts (esp at the back) a lot deeper until the waist fits OK.
As my knees are scary I'm thinking of either a below knee length or a just below full calf length hence the walking issues.
There's a straight plus skirt in September Burda WOF which has a straight front but a godet in centre back so you can walk. I like that idea a lot.

At a first glance the prints on these skirts look really busy to me, but we gotta have some fun with vibrant colors and funky prints right? Skirts are very easy to get away with some crazy prints, let it be floral or geometric, 'cause you can pair these ...
Inspired by Sheila457's beautiful skirt review, I have some questions about using quilting cottons for skirts.
Are there any general guidelines to follow when choosing quilting cottons for skirts? And I'm assuming I should prewash & dry at least once on hot, but should I do more? And do quilting cotton skirts wear well without slips, or should I underline them with self-fabric? I've never underlined anything, but I guess it's just a matter of cutting doubles of the panels and then treating them as one. (?)
Also, I've made skirts with embroidered linen, but linen seems to have a more substantial hand than plain cotton. Are quilting cotton skirts pretty thin? Maybe I could/should wear a slip?
Any advice greatly appreciated. :)Last post by Irene Q at Sat 03 May 2008 09:13:23 AM Total pos
I have been reading the professional dress thread with interest. I can see regional differences in what is considered to be ok office attire.
My question is why with women wearing slacks, trousers, pants etc for over 50 years, it is still considered to be inappropriate in an office setting, or less than professional?
Yet, on the other hand, according to the other thread and the link in the orginal post, women are expected to dress like men in order to be taken seriously in their profession.
Why is a knee length skirt ok, but bermuda shorts the same length not ok in an office setting? What is the difference? I truly do not understand why one is ok and the other is not. The same applies to capris or calf length skirts. Both give the same coverage, but the bermudas/capris allow for

I made the very cute circle skirt for my daughter; the lower part is made from "quarters" seamed together. Would there be any reason not to cut two pieces on the fold and basically sew 2 half-circles together? Just wondering if it will hang differently, etc. or something else that I don't know because I'm a beginner! Thanks.Last post by tourist at Tue 03 Jun 2008 09:54:56 PM Total posts: 2
