I presume you can't make your own, or have someone make them for you?

It's not just skirts. So many dresses are far too long for me and I'm 5ft 4in too - and it costs to have them properly shortened.

I struggle to find skirts too but have recently found a decent pull on skirt on Country Collection. They do larger sizes and a choice of lengths.

Hi everyone new here but been browsing for a while.
Literally joined to answer busybee!
I can recommend Popsy a small UK firm. Just got my second skirt from them. They do free alterations! I measured an existing skirt snd requested that length.
Can’t return altered items of course but can return purchases to be altered for a cost.
Some lovely bright prints and matching children’s items too.
