Size 38 Skirt

Not what I am fitting into right now, sadly. My present body size is more like a size 46, which means I can, indeed, buy standard sized clothes. 

But I had all this time wondered why they do not have skirts in the proportion I used to wear any more, namely, slightly below my knees. 

Today I found out why.  Actually, the skirts still have the same length. I saw a size 38 skirt today  that was proportioned exactly the way I remembered my pencil skirts from 63 kilogram times. 

Besides that they had the same skirt in a size 50. They were the exact same length. But the size 50 one was simply wider than long. To think that a size 50 would, at my top weight, not have fit me any more...

One more reason to keep up counting those calories.
