The micro skirt is the mini skirt taken to its logical extreme. A length that prioritizes proportion and styling over coverage. At 12 inches from the natural waist, the math is precise: the hem is level, the waistband fits your body, and the side seams are perfectly straight. Adjust the length input to dial in exactly where you want it.
