Bias cuts are a little tricky. I hope we see some of the tops you make.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-tops-on-the-bias#post-1514588 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 14:42:43 +0000 Word Lily 1514588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Augh, so this is confusing, then. Sorry for wrongly restating your advice! I'll edit.</p> <p></p> <p>I think I'm a pear, but my waist is significantly gone these days, with all the extra weight (working on it, working on it!). I hate how these skirts look on me, though.</p> <p>I'd definitely make these tops with a decent amount of ease in the middle — I'd have to, given that they're woven, and they still have to accommodate my hips somehow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-tops-on-the-bias#post-1514586 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 14:39:56 +0000 Angie 1514586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, skirts cut on the bias are GREAT for apple shaped bodies.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bias cut tops tend to be great on pears, but less so on apples unless the cut is adequately forgiving on the mid-section. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-tops-on-the-bias#post-1514583 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 14:35:52 +0000 Word Lily 1514583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know skirts on the bias are a big no-no for pears (I found YLF and read Angie's advice about how to dress and not dress these shapes <i>after </i>I made several bias linen skirts so I can attest to that, even when they're A-line, alas), but what about tops on the bias? Is bias always bad for these bodies? Or would a woven tank cut on the bias be OK?&nbsp; </p>
