Midi Skirt for Girls

Midi Skirt for Girls

The midi skirt has been one of the hottest looks to come off the catwalk this season. They have been featured in the ready-to-wear collections of Louis Vuitton and Prada, to name just a couple. However, for many people the reality of wearing a midi skirt is not as simple as it first seems.

When they first made their appearance in the 70s, midis were all the rage. But as the fashion comes round again many women feel that they just can’t rock this eternally stylish look. The problem is that midi skirts can fall at the most unflattering point of the leg, which means that if you choose the wrong skirt you can easily end up looking frumpy instead of fabulous.

How to Wear the Midi Skirt

The reality is that wearing a midi skirt doesn’t have to end up as a fashion disaster. You just need to take an extra bit of care when choosing the right length. If your skirt is too short, you can end up looking much wider than you actually are. If it’s too long, you can end up looking like your granny.

The ideal length for a midi skirt is one that reaches the middle of your shin, just below the thickest part of your lower leg. This makes your legs seem instantly slimmer and is a great way to disguise areas of concern such as heavy thighs.

Dress for Your Shape

The length of your skirt will ultimately depend on your height. Tall girls can get away with a wider variety of lengths than those who are a bit shorter. If you are tall, you can go for any length as long as it doesn’t reach your ankles, but shorter women should go for a skirt that reaches just below the knee as this will help your legs look longer.

If you have fallen in love with a style or pattern which is the wrong length for your height, then take your skirt to your local seamstress or tailor to have it altered or adjust the hem yourself. A couple of inches can make all the difference between a skirt that makes you look short and squat and one that makes you look svelte and sophisticated.

What to Wear with Your Midi Skirt

Once you have got a skirt which is the most flattering length for your height, you need to pair it with the perfect accessories, handbags and shoes to finish off the look. Unless you are very tall, wearing heels will make your legs appear longer. Go for light-coloured shoes or those which have an open heel if you can and avoid any shoes which have an ankle strap as these will make your legs look even shorter.When it comes to your top, it is usually best to go for a simple style and a neutral tone, especially if your skirt is pleated or features a bold pattern or colour. If you are a bit chunky around your bottom, then a fitted jacket which sits just above your hip will help to balance out your shape. Another very flattering way to wear the midi is to go for a high-waisted option teamed with a skinny belt to add definition.

White Dress by the Shore

White Dress by the Shore

About a month after our Charleston vacation, John and I were scheduled to be in Connecticut for our engagement party and a weekend of wedding vendor meetings. Exciting! Since my two sisters were going to be in town for the festivities, I decided to take an appointment at The White Dress by the Shore, a bridal boutique down the road from my hometown. I had heard great things about the shop, and so even though none of their designers were high on my priority list (Amy Kuschel, Anne Barge, Augusta Jones, Coren Moore, David Fielden, Ivy and Aster, Jenny Yoo, Modern Trousseau, Rivini, and Amsale, who I do love), I went in with an open mind.

Our appointment was late on Saturday morning, and the small shop was bustling. After a short wait we were matched with our consultant and led to a prime fitting room (score!). Our gal was very nice, though I did feel the environment was slightly more formal/stuffy than Maddison Row. My sisters and mom and I looked through the racks and pulled a few dresses, and our consultant pulled a few as well. Here are a few I tried:

Let’s start with my least two favorites. I did not want anything with sparkles, which the gown on the left had (interestingly, it was also too plain for my taste). The skirt of the gown on the right, by Anne Barge, didn’t feel very refined.

This one I kind of wanted to like, but it was wayyyy too big for me, and since it was Priscilla of Boston, only the sample was available.

The one on the left was too black-tie, not enough wedding for me. The one on the right was quite pretty, but lacked oomph. The top was also not soft enough for my taste.

Now this one, the “Lauren” by Amsale, I quite liked. Ultimately, though, it didn’t feel like me (though it did remind me of my friend Katharine’s gorgeous Amsale gown!).

In the end I guess you could say it came down to these two, but I honestly wasn’t seriously considering either of them (by Augusta Jones on the left, and the “Melina” by Amsale on the right). In fact, I left the White Dress surprisingly disheartened about my dress search. (If we’re being honest, I might even have shed a tear or two in the car — the frustrating kind, because you really don’t want to be crying, and you know there’s no reason you should be crying, but you can’t help it. Yuck.)

I think the pressure of our whirlwind weekend (five vendor appointments in a row on Friday!) and of making important decisions got to me in that moment. Since I thought this was my only chance to buy a dress with my mom at my side, I was also sad that I hadn’t found “the one” on this trip. Speaking of “the one,” I think I was also disappointed because I hadn’t even come close to feeling strongly about any of the dresses I had tried on thus far, and I had assumed picking a gown would be fairly easy for me. Ah well. Things look up from here!

Tell me: Did your dress shopping experience turn out how you thought it would? How many shops did you visit before finding your gown?

Summer Looks

Summer Looks

Photographed by Craig McDean, Vogue, March 2011

As the summer solstice is celebrated across the Northern Hemisphere, party dresses are likely to see the light of day far longer than usual tonight. Those extra hours of sun are a good time to reconsider the usual classics of the season too—basic tank tops, denim jackets, and crisp white button-downs that can just as easily be taken into evening. Look no further than this year’s Costume Institute Gala for proof. In keeping with the theme of the event, Jenna Lyons stepped out in a taffeta ball skirt, the perfect shade of Schiaparelli pink. The surrealist twist to her look? The denim J. Crew jacket she wore on top. Vogue’s Virginia Smith struck the right note too that night, pairing Balmain’s super embellished velvet pants with the simplest of unadorned white T-shirts.

It’s a feeling that’s been brewing on red carpets across the pond too, including this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where up-and-coming French actress Leïla Bekhti was spotted wearing an intricate Carven miniskirt with a crisp white button-down shirt. “There is something fresh and completely carefree about it,” says designer Guillaume Henry. “I think more than anything else young women like the confidence that comes with adding something they might wear everyday to evening. It’s unfussy and chic at the same time.”

Fashion writer Stephanie LaCava shares that sentiment. When she found herself scrambling in her suitcase for a party outfit on a recent trip to L.A., the one piece that would complete her look was an Anita Ekberg–print tee she had picked up in a vintage store just hours earlier. “The fact is, when you’re dressing up you don’t want to look like you planned it too carefully, you don’t want it to be too pulled together,” said LaCava who often wears a tee under a smoking jacket. According to her, the trick to that nonchalance is finding the one basic that you are absolutely comfortable with—in her case, a Rick Owens T-shirt with extra-long sleeves. Although it needn’t be designer; she’ll just as soon wear her peplum Jil Sander pink skirt with a white American Apparel crewneck. Accessories are important too—a bejeweled minaudière, for example, will elevate the look in an instant. For Opening Ceremony buyer Kate Foley, finding the sweet spot in her closet between day and night is particularly important in the summer for practical reasons. “I’m at the office most of the day and don’t have time to change for an event most nights,” says Foley, whose 24-hour wardrobe often consists of a metallic  leather skirt, graphic sculptural heels, and a white tee. There’s a certain spontaneity that comes when you combine something ultra-glamorous with something unabashedly pared-down—and that’s the stuff that midsummer’s nights dreams are made of.

Maxi Dresses

Maxi Dresses

Hot and then cold. Sometimes weather can creep up on you no matter how much you check the forecast. So you want to be prepared when the sun goes away that you still remain stylish, yet cozy. The ever-trendy maxi dress has proven to be more than just a comfort summer trend. Its been seen on celebrities such as Nicole Richie and Mary-Kate Olsen for months, the long dress is back and better than ever with a variety of shades, prints, patterns, cuts, and material.

With an unfamiliar name, the Maxi dress is typically a floor or ankle

length less-formal dress that is formfitting at the top and loose flowing at the bottom, cut to flow over the body. This summer maxi dresses are best paired with gladiator sandals or summer wedges and also make a perfect summer vacation outfit. Many of the long dresses have been deemed to be “bohemian” but this is not always the case. Maxi dresses can be styled according to your personality, as some of the basic solid styles are canvases open to interpretation with accessories such as bangles, charm bracelets, stud earrings, headbands, and metallic necklaces. Many dresses that incorporate a pattern such as paisley, tie-dye, or floral should be accessorized-down – (meaning hold off the the gobs of jewelry) to not take away from the dress.

If things get chilly in your neighborhood at the beach or when the sun goes down, make sure to bring along a light scarf or cardigan to cover your shoulders. The scarf is perfect if you don’t want to bear a cardi, but cardigans work best for warmth if the temperature tends to dip dramatically after dusk. The best thing to do, is keep a neutral cardigan with you, such as gray, black, off-white, or beige so that no matter which dress you choose your basic cardigan will compliment it. With one or two simple accessories you can easily adjust to different weather factors from day to night.

This month we’ve seen a great variety of maxi dresses worn on Angelina Jolie and Miranda Kerr and

mommies-to-be, Heidi Klum and Ellen Pompeo. Each celeb showcases a different dress cut, pattern, and fabric to meet their body type. Miranda Kerr blends both solid and prints into her dress while accentuating her waist with a braided leather belt. Paired with metallic sandals, Miranda keeps accessories to a minimum since the later half of her dress has such a bold print.

Angelina’s chocolate strapless dress is ever-so simple, yet classy as the silk fabric adds sheen and glamour to her look without any extra additives. This is a perfect look to throw on when the summer day is warming up as it doesn’t require much fuss. Both Heidi and Ellen chose maxi dresses that have empire waist seams to highlight their torsos, making them comfortable and versatile from warm to cooler weather.

To find which maxi dress is right for you for the rest of the summer months, explore the many options in our fashion widget. Don’t forget to make the dress your own with your favorite jewelry, shoes, headgear, and outerwear.
