I think it's hard with a circle skirt to be too short...as I found out with some dresses I made for a Hawaii trip, with the wind, they just don't stay put!

I also like long skirts but on this one I like the shorter version in the case of it not being symmetrical before- iv been making a lot of skirts recently and I had the hardest time hemming and made myself a duct tape dress form (pictures and links on my blog) and it seemed to help a ton!
