Yes the right mini skirt is flattering on every body shape. We recommend high-waisted styles that elongate the leg and skim the hip, in structured fabrics that don’t cling. Pair with longer tops or tunics for balance, and tights in winter for additional coverage if preferred.

A midi skirt is defined by its length mid-calf, around 75–85cm long and can be straight, A-line or pleated. A pencil skirt is defined by its silhouette narrow, body-skimming cut that tapers at the knee. A pencil skirt can be midi-length, but most pencil dress skirt styles sit at or just above the knee.

Yes our pencil skirts go up to size 26 with proportions graded for plus size. Slight stretch in the fabric for sitting comfort, with a full lining for smooth wear. The waistband is wider on plus sizes for additional support and to avoid the dreaded waistband-roll-down.

Yes our pencil and midi skirts are designed for office wear. Pair with our blouses, shells and tailored jackets for full work outfits. Pencil dress skirt and womens midi skirt styles are the most office-friendly options. Mini skirts are casual or evening only.

Yes we have a sub-category of shorts for mature women with longer lengths (typically Bermuda length, hitting just above the knee), considered cuts and structured fabrics. Stylish shorts for women in this range work for warm weather without showing too much leg.

A skirt-short (sometimes written skirt shorts women or skort) is a hybrid garment that looks like a skirt from the front but has shorts sewn underneath — giving the look of a skirt with the practicality of shorts. Popular for travel, walking and active wear. We stock these in both casual and dressier fabrics.
