I love the look of a denim skirt with another colored fabric sewn in to make it more full! You can also do something like that if you want to convert a pair of jeans into a skirt. #Feb2011NCARating These are very good tips!

Another fun idea is layering skirts. I have a couple of too-short skirts that I couldn't resist buying for the style and color, so I just pair them with a longer, white skirt and it looks great AND modest. Great tips!

I like the idea of adding fabric in the slit of skirt. Last week a lady at church wore a skirt that was above the knee but had sewn fabric to make it an ankle length skirt. It was probably one of the prettiest skirts I have ever seen. If someone is short like me than this would be a good way to make knee length skirts (which are easier to come by for us shorties)into a more modest longer skirt that you can make to fit your length.

I'll have to remember that next time I am there. I was there a while ago and got several polo shirts for cheap. :) Ooo, I love Penney’s! I’ll have to remember that next time I am there.

They are cut a little too low in the front for my comfort, and they are too short, except for one, to wear to lengthen my other shirts. I keep them for wearing under button-front shirts. I also hope I can go shop for a few men's tanks because I know those are longer and higher cut. On the button-front shirt tips, what's a placket? Is that just the place where there's a double layer of fabric for the buttons to be sewn onto? I agree about belts- I have a particular plain brown one that I am quite partial to. :)

Thanks. :) I have always wanted to try sewing a ruffle on the bottom of skirts that are just a few inches too short but haven't gotten around to it yet! I will definitely have to try it someday though! :) Tank tops are my most used piece to make things modest! My favorites are the fitted ribbed knit with wider straps (like 2, 3 inches), I find those to be the nicest looking under shirts (well, at least mine lol) and they usually work better than spaghetti strap tanks. And actually I use a lot of belts too! Most of my skirts are too big for me and hang really low on my hips obviously making my shirts seem to short and well you know what happens! So if I don't wear a belt to keep my skirt up I am in trouble. lol. :p <abbr><em><abbr><em>arielles last blog post..<a href="http://ariellezander.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-newest-treasure.html" rel="nofollow">My newest treasure...</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Great tips!
