I'm going to check out my local AT tomorrow and see if they have the skirt. If not, I'll have to be patient and order it. I am certainly going to post pictures of this one. So...more to come!

I've seen your very pretty pear hot bod Lisa and I voted yay. You are petite and this skirt requires a flat stomach and tucked in top more than anything else. You satisfy the criteria so far! And you fill out a pair of Joes Provacateurs like I have never seen before. Try the skirt!!!

I think skirts that are fitted through the hips then flare out are fab. Here's one from Talbots that does that, just to give you an idea: <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi25248&rootCategory=cat90036&catId=cat80016&sortKey=Default&section=Sale&conceptIdUnderSale=cat90036" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat90036</a> celia on "Ann Taylor Skirt for Pear" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-skirt-for-pear#post-316786 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:40:46 +0000 celia 316786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you need to try it on. Sometimes the weight of the fabric makes a lot of diference.

(I still resist this thing of referring to our bodies as types of fruit.) I hear you about the thighs. The pencil skirts that work on me tend to be straight, not tapered. I'm actually wider at the low hip and thigh, so anything that clings to the saddlebag area is not good on me. I have to be feeling really good about my curves to wear a close-fitting skirt, so it's a look I save for high-confidence days. taylor on "Ann Taylor Skirt for Pear" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-skirt-for-pear#post-316778 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:34:41 +0000 taylor 316778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You could always order and try on...don't get discouraged...this type of skirt may work with your proportions....you never know till you put something on:) You can always send it back Lisa on "Ann Taylor Skirt for Pear" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-skirt-for-pear#post-316755 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:19:20 +0000 Lisa 316755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm, when I've tried aline skirts in the past I tend to look fuller, such as this one. Although I never considered wearing them below the knee since I'm petite. That may have been my problem. <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=30658&N=1200010&categoryId=185&pCategoryId=3939&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_185&Nty=1&No=14&loc=TN&defaultColor=Bayleaf&defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....pe=Regular</a> And when I try pencil skirts such as this, there's a lot of cling to the thighs. <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=31609&N=1200010&pCategoryId=3939&categoryId=185&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_185&Nty=1&No=0&loc=TN&defaultColor=Black&defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....pe=Regular</a> Sigh, this is why I own very few skirts. modgrl on "Ann Taylor Skirt for Pear" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-skirt-for-pear#post-316742 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:09:33 +0000 modgrl 316742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't know about the shape of this skirt on pears, but the fabric is gorgeous in person. It is a heavy weight cotton/silk blend. I was disappointed that the dress I ordered in this fabric didn't work out. PS- I am an "apple". I had one skirt like this and I could never figure out how to style it. It always made me look huge in the middle Janet on "Ann Taylor Skirt for Pear" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-skirt-for-pear#post-316729 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 18:58:45 +0000 Janet 316729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a pear/hourglass, and I can do the right kind of full skirt -- almost more of an A-line -- but I stay away from gathered waists. I prefer a skirt that is fitted at the waist and flares gently, in a soft drapey fabric that doesn't either pouf out or cling. I saw this in the store and passed. I thought it looked like it had more volume in the store than it does in the website picture, and the pockets don't help slim that area either. (AT did have a sort of abstract/animal print olive pencil skirt that looked pretty awesome on me though, but I thought I probably have too many skirts already so I didn't buy it.)

I am, and especially was more so in the past. If I did a-line or full skirts, they'd have to fit below my knee (right below) otherwise I felt like the fullness accentuated my lower half. Lisa on "Ann Taylor Skirt for Pear" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ann-taylor-skirt-for-pear#post-316702 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 18:26:23 +0000 Lisa 316702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi, I really like this skirt and would love to add some skirts to my spring/summer wardrobe. Would the shape work for a pretty pear? The skirt is listed as "full" shape. <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=31256&N=1200010&pCategoryId=3939&categoryId=185&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_185&loc=TN&defaultColor=Black&defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....pe=Regular</a> Yay = yes, run and grab it after work today Nay = no way, what were you thinking Thanks!
