Superfluous hair causes shadows and its actual fuzz does increas? the girth of the leg calf, so me ic- ulous women, who are conscious of body beauty, remove it.

With legs

that are sleek and slim you may wear skirts as short as you like even those jaunty skating outfits with flared skirts above the knees are not too ex- treme. But, if your legs are not the most beautifully shaped then you must wear your skirts of a length most flattering to your measurements.

determine which length is most flattering.

Another point to consider is your waistline. If you have a high waistline you can wear your skirts shorter than the girl with a very low waistline. If she wore her skirts very short she would look unbalanced.

You might make another test

try on several cuts of skirts very full flared skirt, a full gored skirt, a straight skirt narrow from waist, to hem, and a skirt with a low flare or pleats. By so doing you will be able to judge which cut of skirt does most for your legs. Too many woman go about wearing unflattering skirt lines and their legs take the rap!
