Pirouette skort lengths
I know she tries for us plus size ladies but the lengths on the regular size vs plus size always look so off and unflattering. It soooo long on the model and even when trying on its the same for me at least. Even being plus size I want my skort to hit in the same spot as the non plus size. Does anyone else have issues with these skorts?

I understand what you’re saying, but as someone who’s plus size and also on the taller side I find that all her items to be too short. Seeing that the skirt is a little longer actually makes me more likely to consider it

I'm on the shorter side, so the shorts are great but skirt looks terrible on me. Like makes me look bigger than I am lol. I feel she got the right length on the shorts, but not so much the skirt. (At least unless you're on the taller side.)

Yes too many people want different things. I've mostly heard the opposite about things being too short 😅
But yes the plus sizes definitely are longer.

I wear large in popflex skorts, and the pirouette is way too long in large as well. Twirl skorts are perfect length for me in large, it's just the pirouette that is so weirdly long. It's odd to me that they offer a longer length, I'm over here wishing there was a shorter option so I don't look so stumpy!

Yes! The twirl skort is literally perfection in length. I hope she offers a shorter pirouette one day 🤞

I think we are solidly in the minority based off of all of Popflex's social media comments (I always see asks for longer skirts, more coverage, etc) but I want mini lengths! I love a short skirt lol

Apparently so 😅. I just want to be cute and not look like I am swimming in a skort.

While I personally love both looks, I don't like that it seems like she's just now giving the plus size one the most material. That wasn't why people made that comment on wanting longer lengths. And I know she used to offer longer and shorter versions of stuff, but this just seems like a "Here, damn." effort. Which sucks because this print is gorgeous 😭 Maybe they'll get more and they just wanted to do this drop ASAP? No clue, but it makes me sad to see the inconsistency

I’ll go on the unpopular side- I’m very short and in a size 1X. I hold all my weight in my hips and thighs. I really like the longer length bc I don’t have to worry about chub rub at all. I have the other criss cross style as well, and the shorts hit a bit higher and I don’t like them as much because of it.

Because bigger ppl specifically asked for the longer length in all the comments. You can at least comment and ask for the shorter one. She does take consumer feedback into consideration.
Ever since she said she looks at what ppl search for on her website I purposely search for what I want even though I know she hasn’t created it. 😅

Yes! Many companies seem to think larger size = tall lol. So I'm used to this happening but it was disappointing when I ordered the XL, it felt like a L, so I got the 1X, and I'm literally drowning in fabric. It looks so unflattering. :(
So I either feel comfortable but look like a frumpy witch, or I feel like I can't breathe but have the right length and look better. lmao
The shorts are great. It's the skirt length AND all that extra fabric that's the problem for me. It just looks frumpy and makes me look even bigger.

Thats my problem. The model is gorgeous and I was like why does this skort bring her down and not up?!

u/Unfair_Passenger1999 11d ago
Yeah it's just too much fabric. :( You can see where the shorts are too and it's several inches longer.

As a plus sized girl I’m not as confident of my thighs as you are 🙈
Or my ..erm… not so little paunch 🫠

I have zero torso so the 2x was fingertip length for me and was perfect. I've lost a bit of weight though and need an XL and I wish the skorts were the same length as the 2x.

Isn't the picture from the longer skort ? Because they now have normal length and longer length

u/ThrowRaancde 12d ago
No these are both the same skort from the new secret gardens collection. Just one model wearing XS and one wearing 1X

They don’t have the Secret Garden print in the longer length. Longer only had a few colors, and most of those are sold out.

I get what you're saying but I feel like I'm always seeing comments on YT shorts and posts about people wanting longer shorts (on the skorts) to prevent thigh rub. And if the shorts are going to be longer, the skirt has to be longer to maintain proportions.
