making a skirt slightly longer via trim?and making a matching neck tie or neckbow (read b4 replying)

[Yanderemenhera]

I am wearing shorts under this (you likely see the lavender shorts underneath)

and yes, I do dress like this irl with a tie or a ribbon bow but it's 2:33am RN and i'm tired , and no, i'm not cosplaying anyone

basically, this skirt is nice and comfy, it's not super tight around my waist to the point I can't breathe but not so loose I need to wear a belt, which is rare for me to find in skirts, but the issue is it's too short, and before you go typing something like

"it's 2026! wear whatever you want! none cares it's not that short omg"

just know there's a reason why I didn't take any photos showing the back or side of it. there's a reason why I don't wear it anymore, it's a tad too short and i'm fairly modest I suppose.

for context i'm 5'10 and the skirt is a hot topic size medium, I got it from good will brand new with tags a few years ago and I was shorter then and so it was longer on me.

how I plan on fixing it is adding trim, kinda like how depictions of santa's outfit have white fluff around the cuffs, waist and sometimes neckline I'll be doing the same with fabric and if I have enough fabric left over I'll make a bow.

even if it's like 2 or 3 inches longer with trim that'd be ok and i'd feel comfortable wearing it irl again : D
I have a bunch of different types of fabric and i'll post some of them in replies and I wanna know what you guy's think would be the best type and color of what I have in terms of fabric and i'll likely give it trim and i'll make a bow for myself like later this week or maybe just tomorrow, idk bro I want this to be something I actually finish and post here

Nice adjustment. We stan modesty (at least I do). I don't even wear shorts. I haven't owned a pair since I was like 6. Only jeans and baggy pajama pants lol.

[Yanderemenhera]

I have a ton of that shimmery grey fabric lol, what fabric do you guys think would work well as a trim (i'd request that it not be see-through fabric lol, like the lace) and what you'd think make a good neck bow thingy

My gah those high socks fit so good with the skirt I've always wanted those

[Yanderemenhera]

@Luana.vasper I am not super prudish lol. I, for myself like my skirts to come to my knees but them being a tad shorter isn't too bad, I wear shorts (technically children's shorts from Walmart. I get two pairs of underskirt or "safety shorts" as i've heard them called for 5-6$ depending oth the store)
but not only for modestly reasons but for comfort, I find that they can prevent chafing and stuff like that

[Yanderemenhera]

@Innocent they aren't actually socks, they are from a pair of tights I had that tore in-between the legs so I cut the legs off and I wear them as socks

[Noctis]

@Yanderemenhera Sock or no socks they look good asf

[Luana.vasper]

@Yanderemenhera I prefer the third one for a non-see-through option, though I've always been a sucker for lace.

[Luana.vasper]

@Yanderemenhera If I had to wear a skirt, I'd def do the same thing. Skirts seem annoying abt privacy. I'd never wear one without shorts underneath.

[Yanderemenhera]

@Luana.vasper I like the shimmery grey fabric too, I think I will use lace for the bow thing though, black or white lace for the neck accessory ?

[Yanderemenhera]

@Luana.vasper yeah, if it's super windy your skirt could blow upwards

[Luana.vasper]

@Yanderemenhera Considering the original outfit, I would go with the white lace for contrast against your dark top.

[Yanderemenhera]

@Luana.vasper okie
