A slimming front split

THE front-slit skirt is now a firm favourite in the High Street. At first glance, they’re modest, but they allow the slightest glimpse of thigh, adding excitement to an otherwise rather understated look. Well- placed slits, down the front on each side, will flatter and elongate the legs. A printed style is an ideal choice if you’re not feeling confident, because the slashes are slightly disguised by the design.
