Terry skirts

[East Hill]

Well, my skirts aren't quite that long, but that's the intent behind my ploy. A 'skort' is just too obviously a subterfuge. With my pull on skirt, I can wander into stores looking not too unlike everyone else, and at a length I consider appropriate for me. I have found that the Terry skirts hit my leg at what's probably the most unflattering spot for me .

I've done the thrift store thing. Love it! I even found a "brand new-tags on" pair of running tights last fall. And if you find something you want to adapt, you don't feel bad when it doesn't quite turn out.

As for lengths, you are so right! I can make these any length I want, and then just put them on over shorts. At 52, I'd like a little more leg coverage than what a lot of exercise skirts provide. I also want to tour, shop, and poke around towns.

Another pattern I found, but it doesn't hide those scandalous ankles.
