For the season's I'd sport a tartan print I'd want more coverage, the slit is what makes it a no to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413997 Wed, 27 May 2026 21:41:07 +0000 Carol 2413997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay--I like anything a bit different, a bit juxtaposed from one's normal style. I like the black leather. If it does get too large, you can put a belt. But if it does not take a belt, then there are these hook thingies they sell online for $2. I will find them if you are interested and snap a photo. I use them on skirts all the time, and they neatly cinch the waist.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413993 Wed, 27 May 2026 19:41:35 +0000 bj1111 2413993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also Angelina Jolie would like her leg back </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413989 Wed, 27 May 2026 19:25:24 +0000 Ket 2413989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>L'Abeille</b>, the buckles are decorative only, unfortunately!

I don't see how anyone could easily take it in with all of the pleats. It will either cost a lot or no one will do it, is my guess. Such a bummer because I love it! Aw well, I'm hoping a similar skirt exists down the road??</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413969 Wed, 27 May 2026 17:31:23 +0000 Suz 2413969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the others said.

But I also agree about the sizing issue. That's what makes me think returning is best.&nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe I'll find something similar down the road?? I really want a long tartan skirt, so will have to see finds me down the road. I've also considered sewing one. So we will see :D&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><b>Roberta</b>, good eye on the buckles.

Also, I don't like the buckles, which look like vinyl on my screen. I think you can find this style elsewhere in the fall when you will be ready to wear it. There are a hundred on Poshmark in a wealth of plaids, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413949 Wed, 27 May 2026 16:59:32 +0000 Star (Lise) 2413949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with SarahD8 100%.&nbsp; Great skirt but if there is a very good probability you will lose weight and not get to wear it what is the point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413947 Wed, 27 May 2026 16:57:09 +0000 Cookie 2413947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love this. Possibility of it not fitting later is the only downside, but that could be true of almost anything you buy that fits you now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413946 Wed, 27 May 2026 16:56:18 +0000 SarahD8 2413946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a GORGEOUS skirt on you.<br />But.<br />I voted "nay" because of the fit issue. HOW annoying would it be to pull it out in fall and find that you've spent part of your budget on something that was too big and you never even got to wear.<br />Reassess when you know what size you'll be when it's time to actually wear the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413945 Wed, 27 May 2026 16:47:18 +0000 Ket 2413945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>What do you all think of this skirt for me?&nbsp;</b></p> <div><br /></div><div><b>Today is the last day I can return it. <br /></b>(Totally lost track of time, oops!) </p> <p>Great construction.

I hope you find sizing that works for you. Have a fun family trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407273 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 07:20:38 +0000 lyn67 2407273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late for this, but I think these look great for a warm weather lounge set (if this is what you are looking for)-both colors are great, and see they have some texture, too- just wouldn't do the rubber thing, that&nbsp; top does not need that IMHO. I would wear it just as they meant it untucked for a flowy drape. Tops have a good fit on the shoulder-so I wouldn't size up for that exact reason. But do you really need a set of 2 pieces-easier to find separates and&nbsp; coordinate somehow? The only&nbsp; one thing I am missing here is a tiny bit of a bigger neckline- just showing up some small collar bone on top. Family trip sound great, hope you are getting well already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407252 Thu, 26 Feb 2026 23:08:53 +0000 Jaime 2407252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have resolved the issue, but enjoy your trip.

I didn’t want to invest yet but maybe it’s time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407226 Thu, 26 Feb 2026 03:12:06 +0000 Ket 2407226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, oh!!! Thank you. That’s helpful to hear. They’re actually XXL, but they’re cut a bit small I think. And the rise in the green pair isn’t deep enough. I kept one pair for pjs. (My winter pjs are too warm for a trip to 80F TX.) I’ll keep searching for active/loungewear that fits me well </p> <p>Lise, yes the pants aren’t great. The rise isn’t right. I have a deep rise so sometimes pants are tricky for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407194 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 22:41:48 +0000 Angie 2407194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have sized you up in both sets in both the top and bottom, so I vote return both of these!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407178 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:12:11 +0000 Ket 2407178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Lise! I agree. The fit isn’t fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407177 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:11:26 +0000 Star (Lise) 2407177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with LJP that the pants look a bit off more than the tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407174 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:58:44 +0000 Ket 2407174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t unfortunately, LJP. They are a matching set, and so bottoms and tops come as a set size. </p> <p>Kind of thinking I might return them, make do for the trip, and then find better fits when we return. They’re just not quite right the more I sit with them. :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407170 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:46:13 +0000 LJP 2407170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pant rise looks too short to my eye - but the top looks fine :). Have you tried a size up in the bottoms ? Or pull them down lower ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407169 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:29:32 +0000 Ket 2407169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like this jacket? I also have this new sweater I thrifted (photo) that I think would be nice worn with the joggers. </p> <p>I agree the navy is dressier! I just wish it was a warmer navy. I like the green but it was deeper in the stock photo. This is more of a mid sage IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-yn-new-activeloungewear#post-2407167 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:24:27 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look good on you to my eye.
