A heavier fabric with a wider waistband seems to work best for me (and I only have one pleated skirt). Otherwise, it's not enough to girdle the lower belly. But you don't seem to have much of one!</p> <p>Also, I checked out your blog and love it! Living in France must be such a great adventure in culture, fashion and life... I hope you will share more of French fashion as you spy it on the streets or in the shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-pleated-skirts-a-big-no-no-for-me#post-525431 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:05:19 +0000 missvee 525431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could always style it with a lightweight fitted jacket, something that will end just below the top of your hip. Then you'd have the contrast of the floaty pleats coming away from the more structured top. I think it's worth a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-pleated-skirts-a-big-no-no-for-me#post-525405 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:02:57 +0000 Meredith1953 525405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable skirt! I am a little sensitive about my thickening waistline (darn menopause!) and I know that skirts without waistbands and also skirts where the pleats are stitched and LOWER (if get you get what I mean) can work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-pleated-skirts-a-big-no-no-for-me#post-525389 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:11:04 +0000 Kirti 525389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta: Thanks for the advice I'll go try it on again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-pleated-skirts-a-big-no-no-for-me#post-525386 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:48:55 +0000 Sveta 525386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have pretty slim midsection but I would stay away from this style: it seems to have too much volume at the waist.<br /> However as Rute said: try it on, take a picture and post it. Maybe it will be a pleasant surprise... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-pleated-skirts-a-big-no-no-for-me#post-525383 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:01:37 +0000 Kirti 525383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rute: I'll go see if I can find it again in store and take a picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-pleated-skirts-a-big-no-no-for-me#post-525381 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:46:32 +0000 rute 525381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely skirt! Love Naf Naf. It depends on the skirt and where does the volume starts, but this skirt seems to add a lot of volume to the midsection and so, not a good ideia.<br /> Can you try it and post a photo?<br /> Sometimes we have surprises and I never say no before trying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-pleated-skirts-a-big-no-no-for-me#post-525369 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:57:36 +0000 Kirti 525369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried this pleated skirt on a few weeks ago and really thought it was adorable - <a href="http://www.nafnaf.com/fr/jupe-plissee-pois-retro.html?apparel%5B391%5D=on&#038;limit=all&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.nafnaf.com/fr/jupe-.....l&#038;amp</a>;. And now it is down to €11,90 which is dirt cheap!</p> <p>However, my midsection is where I carry my weight (tummy) and I'm wondering whether this style of skirt would work on me or make me look wider/emphasise my tummy? </p>
