9. Midi-Length Skirts or Dresses

Midi-length skirts or dresses that fall at the mid-calf can cut off your legs at an unflattering point. This can make your legs look shorter and, as a result, make your overall figure appear heavier.
To elongate your legs, opt for skirts or dresses that hit just above or below the knee. This length creates a more flattering proportion and helps make your legs look longer and slimmer.
