Miniskirts are back with a vengeance and are seemingly everywhere right now. When I was sporting them as a young’n back in their heyday in the 90s (gosh I feel old), I never found them to be the most comfortable or practical item (granted I had one of those horrible low-rise ones that I thought it would be a smart choice to wear to a picnic). Those past experiences stung me which might explain why it’s taken me so long to give them a whirl yet again.

If you watched my most recent Sezane haul over on my YouTube channel, you would have seen that I caved and bought myself the Bettie Skirt – a mini skirt that is part of Sezane’s classic collection. Well, it has become the most flattering mini skirt I have ever owned! If you’re petite like me, chances are you’ve stumbled across these two pieces of style advice in your travels: 1. High-waisted! and 2. Short hemlines! The Bettie Skirt is one that embraces both of those style pointers and is a winning combination. Not only does it look great on the tall and leggy model on the Sezane website, but it is so flattering for us vertically challenged folk (I’m 5’2 or 158cm for reference).

The Bettie Skirt sits mid-thigh on me, and the fabric is a weighty and high quality one meaning it doesn’t ride up when I’m sitting down. It looks great with a pair of low pointed heels (like the pair I’m sporting in the imagery) but also styled for winter with a pair of knee high boots (see this reel here). I don’t think you can go wrong with a navy mini skirt – it’s such a classic colour – but I’ve rounded up all of the colours the skirt comes in below because the style is that good, and it deserves a place in your wardrobe!

Size wise, I’m wearing an AU 10 / FR 38. I’m usually a size AU 8 but I’m pear shaped and sized up to accommodate my hip area. It fits me comfortably and I’d say the sizing runs pretty TTS.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Dressing up again? Here’s how I’m pitching my outfits! and 4 ways I’ve styled my Anine Bing Silk Skirt.
Kia ora Vee, great post and I love the outfit ~ especially the skirt which you may have convinced me to buy! I was wondering if you don’t mind please letting me know your waist and hip measurements as you mention you sized up. I am the same height but usually a 6 (25 ” waist, 35″ hip) and love the way it fits on you. Thanks so much 🙂

hello! I’m a 27″ waist and between a size 8-10 hence sizing up for a more comfortable fit. I probably could have stuck with the size 8 equivalent (FR36) but it might have been a bit too snug. Hope that helps!
