There may be a gap or two and the latter may be more or less evident based on the width of the skirt. There are also very high slit skirts that have a mini skirt under the long skirt.
CHOOSE THE MAXI SKIRT FABRIC
Let's not forget the importance of the fabric. It is not only the shape and cut of the long skirt that outline the silhouette, but also the material. Cotton and viscose are the allies for a snug and super feminine outfit, while a long skirt in soft chiffon leaves room for shapes without marking critical points.

The long cardigan remains a prerogative of the statuary: small or curvy women should avoid it, despite the romantic allure of the match. It is better to always focus on slim and screwed clothing when it comes to long skirts.
LONG MAXI SKIRTS: WHICH SHOES TO MATCH?
