I made the jacket and skirt in evening class some years ago. The shirt is from Debenhams but I shortened the sleeves (they were a very tight elbow length, not in keeping with the cotton voile airiness of the blouse).
Interesting this grey green is not in the Clear palette I got from CMB although I asked for a version of my best khaki I was told it wasn't a clear colour :-(, but it does go fantastically with my eyes

I think the green is agreeable but I am not going to start guessing on colour. I can't wait to find out!
I like the top and outfit too, and the length is OK but a bit I don't think it is the only length you can wear.
I can tell you categorically that you can absolutely wear the knee length skirt. Your legs aren't particularly out of proportion at all, but I would advise dark coloured tights and shoes. Very few mature women look good with bare legs and a tight tailored skirt. You could even wear the shorter length, but it would have to be a gentle A line - a wider hem would slim the legs (the skater dress you mentioned perhaps).
Thanks. Brave of you and I have seen them now so feel free to delete!
