Tiered ruffle skirts always make me feel so girly.

I guess it all depends on where I’m going and what I’m doing. Pencil or A-Line for “smart” and business like appearances. Circle, flared, and a paneled A-Line are great for just about anything else! This book would be a dream come true! Thanks for the opportunity!!!

I just love skirts. But I am partial to the pencil skirt. A friend and I also discovered that with a pleat, pencil skirts are an amazing fallback for patterns that go hideously wrong!

I like A-line skirts that have some extra flippy-ness at the hem…perhaps there’s another name for those. :)

i really really really love short, flirty and full mini skirts. and pockets are an absolute must.

Mini skirts are my favorite. They have to be long enough to properly cover my butt though. They’re quick and easy to make. Plus, throw on some cute tights or leggings and you’re set.

My favorites are full circle skirts, usually in a swishy fabric. Hidden hips = LOVE.

Circle skirts, hands down!

I really like pencil skirts and they seem to be the best fit for me. I haven’t worn a lot of skirts in the past, but I’m really getting into them this year!

Full pleated skirts look best on me. I’d have to say that pencil skirts are my favourite though, although they’re not flattering on me, I always admire them on other people!

Pencil skirts are the most flattering on my figure

I love a wrap skirt- especially a reversible one!

Skirts are great and can flatter any shape and size. My favorite is a comfy, long boho skirt.

Skirts are a girl’s best friend. It simply flatters and accentuates. With skirts, there is room for creativity and you can flirt all you want in a skirt!

A line…. Easier to chase my kids in that.

I tend to gravitate to pencil skirts as part of my “work look”, but on my days off all I want is a skirt I can twirl in! Or a long boho one so I can skip shaving my legs for once :P
