Ever-rising hemlines

[AB Asks]

Panic is searing through women's minds this spring as the hemlines of skirts just keep getting higher. The shops are full of teeny tiny skirts and babydoll smocks. These items look so great on the leggy tanned models strutting down the catwalk, but what about us mere mortals? Will you be investing in fake tan and a yoga book to allow you to pull of this leggy look? Or will your pins be well hidden?

Well its your own fault if your legs dont look good in a mini! I would wear them but its still too cold where I live. Forget yoga if you have flabby thighs, good old hard graft in the form of swimming, running, cycling or rowing will get results much faster.

well hidden, nothing wrong with them, but do like to leave a little to the imagination.

Well I do yoga and am lucky enough to have a real tan at the moment, but still won't be weaing those mini's (well at least in England anyway), because primarily even during the height of summer it is never bleeding warm enough!

I don't think it is a good look at home; abroad - great, home; no. Particularly those baby doll fronks - I think they're lovely and all but you have to have the figure a doll to wear them. For those of us with ..... ahem.... well, boobs really all they do it make you look pregnant.

I have legs like sausages and will keep them firmly under wraps.

Also agree with natalie_1982 about it never being warm enough!

Hi, i'm fortunate enough to have slim legs, although the complexion is my main problem, i have scars from waxing and they are very pale. After winter they are quite dry too! But i cannot stress enough the difference that exfoliating and moisturising makes! Exfoliate every time you get out of the shower and rub in some moisturiser. If you use a tinted one (i like the dove one) every couple of days, even better as you will have a golden glow too! I swear i can go out and have my legs mistaken for one of those leggy taned models, but believe me, i'm certainly not one! x

monkey1980 - I'm confused, you exfoliate AFTER your shower?
I usually do it in the shower. How do you get rid of old skin cells if you're doing it after the shower? I like to think I'm wasking them off and down the drain.

And no I would never wear a mini skirt, I don't think they look good on anyone, thick thin,short or tall
