I want to buy one, but I'm not sure how it'll work out. Can women with big booties even wear those things? When I buy mini-skirts or mini-dresses, I usually look for the back length to be longer than the front to compensate for the booty. But corduroy doesn't look that forgiving.

I have a vision of this specific outfit I want to wear, and it involves a burnt-brown or brick-red corduroy mini. Thing is, I practically only ever shop online (I hate malls), and I'm not sure if I'll be able to actually wear those stiff beauties.

Any thoughts? Any big-bootied girls on here try one out? Know anyone who does (family, friend, girlfriend?)

i have a booty & thighs and really like the way high waist/pencil skirt shape on me.

OMG! Those are so sexy!

I wore a high-waist skirt for my presentation, and my booty was POPPING! I chose to just power dress that day and go for it, but it's not my go-to style . I usually wear flouncy skirts for both the movement and the not-ASSentuating properties. Pencil skirts make me feel...sausagey. ?

Please feed this perv with some photos...

LOL!

I've always wondered about that. If you're a man, and you want to look at women, doesn't that just make you "normal"? Isn't a pervert someone who deviates from the norm, technically speaking?

You'll be fine. I'm a big girl with thighs, hips and tummy to match and I love a good mini skirt. The outfit sounds cute! Especially if you add some knee high boots and maybe a cross tie top with billowy sleeves...UGH. I'm just visioning it now.

GO FOR IT!!!

Thanks!!! Ooooo! I like your vision! I'll keep that in mind when I want to change it up. ☺️

I'm thinking a tight long-sleeve t-shirt (or a collared buttondown adrogynous blouse), a bowler derby hat, and my vegan Doc Marten boots, cruelty-free dark-red lips to make my mouth really pop! 😄 Hahaha, I'll know for sure when I have all the elements and can play around with it.

Maybe go for A-line n empire/high waist if you're conscious about the booty.

I've always loved A-line and it's usually the silouhette I go for in dresses.

What about a shift dress style ? Those seem...roomy.

I'm not a fan of shift dresses bub. How defined is your waist? I always thought it's only cool on people who have a straight/column body structure. I feel it makes anyone else look boxy.I always look for definition. If I'm going for shift, I still go for A-lines or something with ruffles or pleats. A belt will do too. Shift dresses are something I only wear when I'm sick #truestory..coz lot of room yes?

Pretty defined

Khalas, I got a cordorouy overall shift that's burgundy off eBay for $ 9.99. It has a swoop shape, so it should sit on my hips nicely (I HOPE!)

I'm okay with the risk considering the bargain. If I like how the material works on me, I'll go for the mini skirt. I will most pay attention to how it fits over my derrière. If it looks boxy ?, I'll take your hint and play around with a belt.

I LOVE ruffles, but I need hard edges for this look (with the blouse and tights being the only real "soft" feature.) Maybe I'll thrown in ruffle socks to top off my combats.

I think I can still go with my original vision and wear a button down blouse underneath with a bowler hat.

only legs matter when it comes to skirts

if you have short legs then you need to buy REALLY mini skirts, half of your thigh and knee should be showing for your legs to look tall..and it wont look slutty since you got small frame

anything longer than that won't look cute

Awesome! I like overalls ??

I actually do have overall shift..but it's denim. It doesn't look boxy on me at all..it defines my waist more if anything coz I wear it with a fitted tank top.

Right?? Ruffles are life❤️

I like the idea of button down blouse underneath with bowler hat. Sounds cool?
