In the early 70s I went from mini to midi to maxi interchangeably – remember those days?

Guess what, they are back – this time in pleats. Not always a good idea for those of us with fuller figures … 😉 – and maybe not greatly beloved of those of us who had to endure pleated school uniforms 😡

But there is also a new addition. The middleton! – a just-above-the-knee version like those worn by Kate on formal occasions.

Bet her wedding dress is maxi, though.

It used to be that only one hemline was fashionable. Now anything goes – good news for skirt-wearers of all shapes and sizes 😉

I remember the three lengths too and have made myself outfits in all lengths. Once I made a maxi suit long skirt with a bolero to match worn with a frilly blouse (see those are back too) and when maxi went out again I just cut the skirt off and made a mini :))

You can do that with a maxi! Mind you, women have been doing that for decades … I remember being a bridesmaid when I was 7 with a long white dress with yellow velvet polka dots. And then Mum cut it down so it was a shorter white dress with yellow … etc etc – wore it for years!!! (can’t have grown all that quickly :roll:)

Yes, it’s a shame when such decisions are dictated by fashion. Much better that the choice express the personality of the wearer.

I think it’s much easier to do that these days, Shimon. Thankfully!

I agree with you on both counts….now any length goes, and I love that maxi you showed….which today you could wear with sneakers/trainers and sequins…or whatever else floats your boat:)

When I was a little girl I always wanted to wear long skirts, so I couldn’t believe my luck when the maxi finally came in!

I must admit I want to know what her dress is going to be like a marang or something simple?
When it comes to weddings as I get ready in the morning Channel 5 repeats a programme called Bridzilla’s and it’s like a car-crash you cannot switch it off but it does make you wonder about the material that is now on tap in ‘The Human Genepool!’

I hope it’s something simple, Kerry – she doesn’t strike me as the meringue type, but we shall see! Thanks for stopping by.

I suspect she will go for something long, with that huge abbey to walk up! It will be fun finding out.
