How short is too short?

Question

DishLady · Accepted Answer

I had to train a bunch of girls to dress properly for an event we were all attending. The day of the presentation on proper attire I was wearing a nice blouse and this hip-hugging skirt that was an inch or so above my knee — don’t tell my granny, ok?

When I was talking to the girls about proper length of skirts they could wear, I followed a guideline offered online: “Touch the tips of your fingers to the top of your knee. The base of your palm should be the highest your shirt goes.”

Hmm…. I tried it, but I have long fingers, so the length of my skirt from my knee was way less than that… esp since that was a professional setting for me, not date night, you know?

But the truth is that even for date night….
1. if I have to tug at a skirt to keep it down… it’s too short.

2. if I can’t sit without my cheekies making direct contact with the chair/bench/etc…. it’s too short.

3. if I put it over a standard yoga shorts and can see the edge of the shorts… it’s too short.

Me and this other lady had agreed that wearing that anything that shows behind cheeks isn't modest and looks like a prostitute. But short dresses and skirts aren't inappropriate if you wear shorts underneath. Like mid thigh length isn't sexual because some women shorts are mid thigh length.

I think anything less than "flirty" is too short. Any less takes away a little bit from the intrigue.

Raine usually sticks with "matronly" but sometimes she'll go shorter. I really appreciate her modesty. I'd love to see Raine in something cheeky though (as a rare exception), maybe just once or twice when she's in the mood.

I have three criteria for a hemline that is too short.

1. If you can see any butt cheek when she's standing or walking, it's too short

2. If you can see any butt cheek when she bends over, it's too short

3. If you can see her entire thigh, all the way up, when she sits down, it's too short

That depends on the context! For skirts or dresses, it varies by personal comfort and occasion. Some feel great in mini skirts, while others prefer knee-length for more coverage. It's all about what makes you feel confident and appropriate for where you're going. What's your take on getting the right balance in fashion?

Just depends. If your butt is showing it’s too short

It varies from person to person  I wear proper when am at work or at a formal event. However if I were going out on a date , it would naturally go up to flirty. ;)

When you’re wanting sexual attention. That’s when it’s too short. I know some people lie about the real reason they’re doing something that makes them worse.

If the kind of people you want to approach you aren’t approaching you. Maybe you’re the problem

I'm not gonna lie... Most of my dresses come down to proper... but my skirts stay between cheeky and flirty just to test my parents on how short can my skirts get before I get my ass kicked.

For who? There's supposed to be a mate for all. I'm the only exception. So no such thing. I knew a guy at 5' 2.5". All muscle and married. They ran an open marriage and he stayed busy.😂
