Just how short should a short skirt be?

I'm very short with wide hips and thick thighs, so skirts are tricky for me. If they're big enough to fit my fat ass they pool around my ankles. If they're short enough to be mini's they fit like skin across my thighs and ride up my hips.

I'd actually never worn one until about five years ago when I took a job waiting tables at a crappy little backwoods bar. They wanted me braless in a covid mask to cover my face, tiny tops and tinier skirts. I had to buy a wardrobe just for work, which cost me a fortune and with my size and shape was not an easy chore.

I started out with a bunch of pleated plaid mini-skirts and white short-sleeved button-downs that I tied across the flat of my belly, white knee socks and chunky black Mary Jane pumps, but quickly discovered that the less I wore the bigger my tips got, to the point that I was working barefoot in sheer crop tanks that showcased my nipples (and everything else when I lifted my arms), and frilly little white aprons with nothing but me underneath.

I don't think there's one answer to the should-be length of a "short" skirt. It depends entirely on the wearer's height and build and the effect she wants to achieve, and sometimes what someone else wants her to show. "Classy" will never work for me.

Sorry for babbling. 😔

You start out by describing yourself in less than flattering terms, but then quickly come around to an understanding of just how appealing men find you to be. I think that is fairly prevalent among women who are a big (or a lot) thick. Female influence suggests that thinner is better and modest is best. Meanwhile men love your thickness and revel in your being willing to be more exposed.

Some people will claim that there are issues of respect and judgment at play. Perhaps there are for some. But there are plenty of us who just love a sexy woman unafraid to show it.

I'm sorry. Please pardon my insolence, but I don't think you know me at all. I used to hate my shape and be self-conscious about it, but I got over that as I got older and had bigger stuff to worry about, started dressing and doing things to emphasize my assets instead. My nose has been broken multiple times and I'm not nice to look at anyways, but I'm lucky. My body was built to draw attention away from my face.

But I don't think men find me attractive or sexy. I mean, I don't see well but I know what I'm looking at in the mirror. Besides that, I'm 36, never had a boy/girl friend or been on a date. I think men find me willing and easy to use without having to care, and that's a good thing. They like being able to stick their dicks in me without having to wear a condom or worry about repercussions. They can't get me any more pregnant. And I like being able to offer what other women can't or don't want to, feeling useful and worth the air I breathe.

I don't mind being judged. I'm used to it. I've come to like how the hostility makes me feel. And I'm okay with the assumptions, guys taking me without chitchat whenever they want because, well, I never say no, like they could understand me if I did, and I keep coming back so I must be the brainless nymho freak they've heard all about. Silence means consent anyways, right?

Anyways, I don't usually run my fat mouth and I'm sorry for that. I just describe what I am and I'm not what you said.
 
According to Bush Barbie (check her out on YouTube), the definition of a greyhound dress is “It’s an inch from the hair”.
So I think that description from someone down under is an appropriate length.
 
I'm often told that a skirt or a dress should always be at least 12 to 18 inches short, but surely that depends on what's being worn underneath, right?
I'd say it depends on what you're comfortable with showing off, you see young women out these days with hems just under their ass cheeks, constantly pulling them down when they move about.
 
Now I'm more mature, I never go shorter than just above the knee. As it rides up when seated, it's good to leave a bit to the imagination and not show everything off. Where's the fun in that? It's more exciting to keep people wondering whether it's stockings underneath or tights! ;)
Ohhh yes! Elegance is sexy 🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
