I definitely do NOT agree with this for dressier or formal attire. When I am dressed up I feel best in a 4 inch heel. I also do not agree with skirt or dress length. I have always been told a couple inches above knee. Just below the knee, unless a super form fitting pencil skirt looks dumpy. I honestly don't know how a petite could pull off mid-length dresses.

Let's celebrate that Audrey when wearing these sassy, classy shift dresses.

Popular in the 1940s and 1950s, swing dresses are loose-fitting dresses with wide skirts. They are sometimes referred to as smocks. Typically, swing dresses aren't worn with belts, so they don't have much shape. They're particularly good for curvier figures as they can hide rather than hug the figure. Bold block colours are a classic look, while bold prints can make for a summery look.

At the Melbourne Cup in 1965, English model Jean Shrimpton created controversy by wearing a synthetic white shift dress with a hem high above her knees. She did not wear stockings, gloves or a hat.
