How comfortable are you wearing shorter shorts, dresses, and skirts?
I am not when it is the colder time of the year, and the rest of the year I usually am quite modest too. But if you have good looking legs, perhaps you can wear shorter shorts (5 inch or shorter inseam). I do not think I ever wore anything with an inseam less than seven or eight inches.
In so far as dresses and skirts go, a bit above the knees is about as high as I go.
They tend to ride up as a sit so I want to be modestly dressed. I wear pants and jeans more than dresses or skirts.
Skorts are very nice for modesty.

I do it at home around the apartment when I am comfortable. But not going out. I don't have the legs for it. My aunt babysat us kids when we were little and she would tease me calling me "knobby knees". Thanks, Auntie for THAT dysphoria. ;D
During the summer I'll go as short as a 2 inch inseam. I am shorter than most, 5'2" at the last measurement. I have less sun damage than most. I'll put on sunscreen before going out in sunnty weather.
I wear a wide variety depending on my mood. I have skirts above mid-thigh all the way to floor length. My shorts go no longer than mid-thigh. I have some serious short ones that still cover my butt. Slacks mostly at work, not always.
I don't like my body shape, but I am not ashamed or afraid to show it. I do dress appropriate to the location. Everyone's sense of modesty is different and so is their comfort level.
I only wear a bikini at home. I don't care for the beach so that's probably the reason there.
I grew up in the 70s-80s and have alway worn shorts from that era. (Look up "magnum pi shorts".) I never adjusted to the longer shorts and I don't think I've ever owned a pair of shorts longer then 5 inches.
I'm comfortable out in mid-thigh skirts - to my finger tips length. I have yet to wear a dress out but I think I would feel good with mid-thigh length too. That's if I ever get the opportunity/nerve to wear one out.
I might be inclined to go shorter at a beach, lake or hotel pool.
Warm Regards,
Paulie.
