I just read, with great relief, that the micro mini is going out of style again. It is possible that my relief has a lot to do with my age (nearly 40) which puts me out of the category of Women Who Can and Should Wear Very Short Skirts. Then again, I think there are very FEW women over the age of, say, 12 who can pull off the micro mini in the first place.

You can imagine my horror, then, when I saw that the micro mini dress is hot for spring and summer weddings.

This dress, by Rosa Clara, strikes me as pretty much inappropriate for most women, and most weddings. The hem line is SO short that it is difficult to get any sense of the overall look -- although I have to say that the top half of this dress is no winner either. Mostly, though, I am just wondering how long it will be until this poor girl shows everyone her underwear.

Short wedding dresses can be chic and fabulous, but this is too short. Keep your hem line closer to your knee, and your guests won't spend the entire wedding thinking about your knickers.
