Thanks for posting the variations - it's wonderful to get visuals at the different lengths. I like 1/2 and 3/4 best. But I especially like your idea of test driving it as is and then seeing if it works or not. You can always shorten! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985621 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 01:20:15 +0000 Suz 985621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly, Glory! Both at once! I got the Nordies card for exactly that reason.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fortunately, Mr. Suz has a sense of humour, and besides, he is an even more determined online orderer than I am. He just hasn't braved the wilds of Nordies yet.&nbsp;</p> <p>In all seriousness, I'll probably keep 1/3 of what I ordered at <b>MOST</b> and if I did, it would be most of my fall/ winter shopping. So we'll see.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985620 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 01:19:27 +0000 Anonymous 985620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked all the lengths, especially if they can be tapered if shortened, but think your plan is best. If Mr. Shannon likes it vavavoom, go with it!<br /> As to your other thread on sleeveless tops. I really like this black sleeveless top with the skirt. It's not sleeveless but I wondered if the first top (grey, yellow, black, white print) that you wore when you first asked about the olive orphan skirt would look good with this skirt. Doesn't it have a striped waist band or something like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985617 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 01:11:03 +0000 Glory 985617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At this point I just think I need my own credit card - maybe just a nordies card - that could solve a few problems, and I guess open a few cans of worms.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985605 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:49:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 985605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - well alrighty then!</p> <p>Vildy - I knew you would like it :)</p> <p>Suz - excellent point about it being "stride proof".</p> <p>Nicole - the VC isn't truly lined either. It just has two layers of the actual fabric.</p> <p>So here's my plan then based on your helpful feedback: I'm going to keep the original length and wear it this way for a while. Test drive it, so to speak. See how I&nbsp;<i>feel</i> in it and&nbsp;how it works in practicality. If I find it really isn't working for me, I can chop two inches off later. Make sense?</p> <p>Thanks again everyone and especially you Angie :)</p> <p>BTW Suz - that's probably very wise not to open that can of worms until you need to - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985601 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:45:17 +0000 Nicole D 985601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #1 too. &nbsp;Doesn't look too long at all. &nbsp;And it really keeps its nice shape (and emphasizes your nice shape) at that length. &nbsp;I just bought a navy with white stripe skirt from Long Tall Sally that hits me at the same leg area and I love it! &nbsp;It's not lined though, so probably not as good quality as the VC version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985598 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:45:11 +0000 Suz 985598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh. Well, I like the long length, too. I tell you what, though, Shannon. See if it will take your strides. Mine, even at the length of yours at 3/4 (more or less) is a bit constricting to my walking pattern. It stretches and all. And is super comfy. But I can't walk quite as fast as I like!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Glory, I am not discussing my Nordstrom's order with Mr. Suz until I have determined what I am actually keeping.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985597 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:45:03 +0000 Vildy 985597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you're going to try the original length!&nbsp; It's nice enough shortened but loses all its sass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985595 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:42:47 +0000 Angie 985595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. With flats. Your shapely calves and ankles add lots of structure. I still vote original length as best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985594 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:42:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 985594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well here is something amazing (speaking of Mr.'s) - I just asked mine what length he liked the skirt. And in between plays of the football game he's watching, he quite frankly stated he liked the longest length the best 'cause it's "more va va voom". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985589 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:40:25 +0000 Glory 985589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that I see it on you I am going to try it full length. &nbsp;It is upstairs hidden from Mr Glory at the moment. hahaha</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985587 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:39:30 +0000 Anonymous 985587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the original length because it tapers more.&nbsp; If you shorten, it will loose that look unless you also taper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985585 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:38:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 985585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you wearing yours full length Glory? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985583 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:36:44 +0000 Glory 985583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kinda digging that long length on you! Surprising myself. I would wear it like that and see how it feels. Looks smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985579 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:34:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 985579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ha ha - cross posted with you Angie AND Janet :)</p> <p>I'm not sure what I think Angie - to be honest. I hadn't even considered full length. I just assumed it was too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985578 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:33:42 +0000 Angie 985578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think, Shannon? I like #3 too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985577 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:33:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 985577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Angie - really? Even with flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985573 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:32:27 +0000 Janet 985573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but I like 3/4. Nice midi length that doesn't overwhelm you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985570 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:29:58 +0000 Angie 985570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote original length! It's a signature Shannon look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985568 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:28:36 +0000 Suz 985568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie but I like 5/6. At least for flats. If wearing a wedge, then maybe 3/4.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think mine now falls somewhere between those two, but don't quote me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-length-for-vc-tube-skirt#post-985563 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:25:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 985563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I'm keeping the Vince Camuto striped tube skirt but need help determining the best length for me. Here are the options:</p> <p>Pics 1-2: original length on skirt, unaltered<br />Pics 3-4: pinned up 2 inches<br />Pics 5-6: pinned up 4 inches<br />Pics 7-8: pinned up 5 inches</p> <p>You had mentioned in my K/R thread you like the midi length with more taper on me - I tend to agree. But I want to make sure it isn't too long or too short. Can you help me please? </p>
