Researchers have found that mini skirts in the north and Scotland are the shortest in the country.
Northern women wear skirts that are on average 17cm shorter than those worn in the south.
Debenhams found that the average skirt length in Edinburgh is just 30cm. In Glasgow and Preston it is 32cm and in Liverpool women's skirts are on average 33cm long.
The study also found further south in the country the skirts become longer with girls in Bournemouth wearing skirts 47cm long.
