Delight in Vintage Hem

I found a great alternative to wearing leggings and tights under a short dress or skirt. I actually own a pair of leggings that I have yet to wear. They just don't look right. It's so sad.

So, along comes Cardigan Empire to show me the light. Instead of always wearing tights or leggings (which I think are a great option in many cases) you can layer a Vintage Hem under your outfit.I actually did a similar thing to the dress I wore at my wedding reception- I had my mother-in-law sew some black lace to the flounce in my skirt to lengthen it for modesty. It turned out great, especially since she added the lace elsewhere on the dress to unify it.

The idea of adding a slip that not only keeps the skirt/dress from clinging but adds length too is awesome. Why didn't I think of that?
