A New Look: The Maxi Skirt
I purchased some gorgeous soft wool crepe with which I intend to make a long, wide skirt for this winter. But today I was browsing some blogs and saw several discussions about maxi skirts, like this one. It seems people are pretty divided on how they feel about this skirt length, and on whether or not the style is gypsy, muzzy, or great.
This summer I already wore some skirts that fell on my ankles, but ofcourse that was a complete other sort of fabric and thus another kind of skirt. I can imagine, that with certain fabrics, such long skirts can indeed give a hippy kind of feel. Which, I think, can be quite fun in the summer, but it's not what I'm intending to create with this beautiful wool. No, what I have in mind is something more like Dior's New Look:
So, I am trying to gather the courage to start cutting that wonderful wool and in the meantime I'm curious to hear: How do you feel about the maxi skirt?
