I hate online letdowns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023475 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 04:41:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1023475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Von, I'm so glad these worked well for you!&nbsp; I think Angie mentioned in one of her posts last week that she really didn't want standardized sizing.&nbsp; I guess the all-over-the-map sizing we find will suit someone to a T.&nbsp; Sounds like duplicating the skirt in another color is a great move for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023441 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:47:12 +0000 Suz 1023441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting, Von! Well, it just goes to show you, doesn't it. This is why it is a good thing that clothes are not all made the same!</p> <p>Also, if you live in a warmer climate than Sveta or Beth Ann and I, the printed skirt might be more useful. We live in a cold climate with hot summers. The fabric and lining made it sort of neither here nor there for us. It is not at all warm enough for our winter weather (or even fall) and much too hot for summers. (Or would be for me, personally, since I don't have air conditioning.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023439 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:44:17 +0000 Von 1023439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm in the minority, I bought this skirt last week and it's a perfect fit on me -- and I don't wear skirts nor buy them because they never fit right. I'm thinking of getting the blue also!&nbsp; In contrast, I found that the regular seamed skirt looked a bit dumpy on me, I totally think it is the fabric, this one is thinner, a bit of bounce to the fabric, but nice and smooth. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023329 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:59:32 +0000 Suz 1023329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. Sveta tried one of these on. I think we agreed it was "yuckky." Such a shame, because the pattern and colours are lovely. We were both very tempted by the idea of it. But in reality? Feh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023323 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:52:30 +0000 Jjsloane 1023323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to love this skirt, but tried the camel with dot version and it was frumpy dumpy on me - kind of a-line, but tight in waist.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023317 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:40:58 +0000 Beth Ann 1023317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sarah and Angie for the feedback.&nbsp; Actually, it was helpful, since fabrication is very important to me --- all those hours in childhood I spent in a fabric store!</p> <p>Cobalt:&nbsp; Yes, screenshot!&nbsp; That's what I was forgetting!&nbsp; Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023056 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:11:55 +0000 sarah 1023056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is the NAS skirt. I found it to be TTS, but as with Angie, did not like the fabrication - too "summery" IMO for autumn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023051 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:06:10 +0000 Angie 1023051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's the NAS skirt. If so, I did not like the quality or fit on any of my clients. But it might not be the same skirt. Sorry to be unhelpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023045 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:59:40 +0000 cobaltblue 1023045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying to post a pic for you!

Very pretty skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023039 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:51:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1023039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This might be a bit similar to the Mossimo skirt I just posted, but I love the color, both in the deep red and the blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-of-halogen-skirt#post-1023036 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:50:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1023036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie:</p> <p>Do you have any clients with this skirt?&nbsp; The reviews indicated an inconsistent fit, so I'm looking for your impressions and sizing input.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-print-pencil-skirt/3543790?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Blue+Mazarine%2F+Black+Combo&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_C" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....alizedsort</a></p> <p>(Tried to copy the pic, but I couldn't snag it.&nbsp; I see others with pics from Nordies&nbsp; and am not sure what I'm doing incorrectly) </p>
