There are certain skirts that just hit you at an awkward place, whether it's right at your ankles or at the largest part of your calves. Instead of shortening the hemline, you could just turn it into a mermaid skirt with a quick tie. Short in the front and longer in the back, it's a simple fix that looks professional.

00:00We're not all built like models, and so the reality for clothing shopping for most of us is that we
00:04have to get things tailored.
00:05And I've noticed that this is especially true when it comes to vintage-looking floral sundresses.
00:10The hemline is always at a weird and awkward place.
00:13It's either too long or too short and makes you look like a sister wife.
00:15But I have a styling tip that lets you make the skirt a lot more modern-looking without having to
00:19ever pick up a sewing needle.
00:21Here's how.
00:21First, you have to decide whether you want it on the front or off to the side,
00:24and then you create a knot on the inside of your dress.
00:27I know it sounds a little weird, but trust me, it creates a really cool effect.
00:30And then the skirt is short in the front, long in the back.
00:33Everybody's happy.
00:34This is an easy way to give an old dress a new life.
