Problem:
The Tummy

Best Skirt:
The best skirt for a person that has a bit of a tummy or maybe a lot of tummy is an angled or handkerchief skirt. The angle or handkerchief skirt not only shows off the legs, most are made with a dark waistband that slims the midsection.

Problem:
Petite and Curvy

Best Skirt:
The best skirt for a person that's petite and curvy  is a wrap skirt. The wrap skirt helps play up the major curves and the cinched skirt nips in at the waist to create a more slim illusion. A structured A-line dress also works for this body type as it gives a little more length the the petite frame.

Problem:
Boyish

Best Skirt:
Pleats, pleats and more pleats are a boyish frame's best friend. The pleats give the illusion of curves. Ruching gives an oooohhhh-la-la appeal. Bright minis are uber playful for someone with this type frame as it gives a more feminine touch.

Problem:
Plus Size

Best Skirt:
Tiered ruffles that start about mid-thigh work wonders on a plus sized gal. Fitted pencil skirts look AMAZING and flowy styles give much needed breathing room.

Problem:
Tall

Best Skirt:
Knee to mid-calf balance long legs. If you're a taller gal and you're going to wear a mid-calf length skirt, make sure your top is just a tad more fitted. The fitted top keeps the outfit proportionate.
