Ever since I first wore my Mary Blair planes Doris skirt from Pinup Girl, I’ve been planning on having the hem taken up about five inches. Despite the gorgeous print, the skirt was just too long, hitting my leg at an unflattering spot, and creating the dreaded waterfall effect when worn with a petticoat. Last week, I finally took it into the tailor, and she did a great job…it’s amazing what a difference tailoring can make! I love the skirt even more now!

I also love the way it looks with a solid red top…perfect for cheering on Team USA in the Olympics!
