'Behind the Seams' with Haili Pue on Live Well Network's Mirror Mirror!
Below, is the feature from Mirror Mirror's website


Ladies, the consummate classic is back. This season, we're seeing longer, more feminine hemlines.


Fashion columnist Haili Pue says the look that's drawing the most attention right now is the form-fitting pencil skirt and dress.


"A lot of women have been waiting for long skirts to come back in style, and this season is definitely for them" she says.

Below is Haili's guide to the hottest hems:

Form-Fitting Dress/Skirt:
When it comes to form fitting dresses and skirts, choose the length by your body type.


Ankle Length:
Skirts that are ankle length look great on taller people. Those with a petite frame should wear it with a higher waist and a higher heel.
High-Waisted:
The best figures for high-waisted skirts are petite or tall and thin. High-waisted skirts can also work if you have a pear shape.
A-Line:
If you want to pull attention to the waist line, a-line skirts and dresses are the perfect choice. Athletic, petite and hourglass figures all look great in an a-line.


Cinched/High Waist:
Dresses that are cinched and high waisted that hit right below the knee are great for creating curves. This look works great if you have an hourglass or petite shape.


Pleats:
Kate Middleton wore her accordion skirt to LA and you should wear yours, too. However, if you're self conscious about your bottom half, avoid this look because of the structure of the skirt.


Make Long Casual:
If you're going to wear an ankle length skirt, make sure the waist is cinched so it gives you somewhat of a figure. This look is great for petites. If you are petite though, make sure the hemline isn't hitting your ankles or the floor. Make sure it's a little higher up so it doesn't overpower your body.


High/Low Cut:
High/low cut is when the hem is a little higher in the middle and lower on the sides. This is a great look for every body type.


Rock It:
If ultra ladylike isn't in your fashion forecast, go rocker! Try a black maxi with a leather jacket. Finish the look with a leather belt and you're on your way!
Be Eclectic:
For a more eclectic look, try a long-sleeved maxi dress with a floral pattern. Add some bangles to create a fun, casual look.


Whether your style is feminine, edgy, or artsy, go to great lengths this season, and you'll always be in style!
