I have even tucked into the skirt occasionally but I usually blouse the top over if I do that. But I've also worn a more cropped style top with slightly longer back. A hi-low top is brilliant with this skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690595 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:49:29 +0000 Elizabeth P 1690595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't always wear mine with longer tops.&nbsp; I always wear something untucked, sweater or tee, but sometimes it's just hip length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690588 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:30:15 +0000 Anonymous 1690588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for letting me know Elizabeth. The size I need is different though. I see many wear this skirt with a long top - is that how you wear them as well? I don't think I'll mind if it's curvy from behind as long as it's not too too thin. My decision may be if I like it from the front view. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690586 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:25:34 +0000 Elizabeth P 1690586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This reminds me, I have one I was going to put on the style exchange.&nbsp; So if you wanted a medium, black and white animal print, good price... let me know!</p> <p>I have three, wear two of them a lot (thus the reason for my first para).&nbsp; I'd say they are TTS, not big.&nbsp; I am almost always a medium on bottom, and mine are mediums, and wouldn't want them any smaller.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690583 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:22:42 +0000 Anonymous 1690583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva - I can see what mean about a lack of tailoring. I think the stripe could work for me if the style feels flattering. Plus, I'm trying to lean away from black just because of my light colored cat :)</p> <p>I like tailored looks, but sometimes feel too dressy in them for my super casual life. I often feel too constricted in them as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690572 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:05:25 +0000 viva 1690572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the jersey stripe and never wore it. I ended up consigning it - a lemming fail -- but it was a nice item and one I <i>really</i> enjoy on others. I think for me it lacks the tailoring that I ultimately feel more comfortable in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690418 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 01:54:08 +0000 Anonymous 1690418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the color options Suz. I think the tube skirt is going to be better than the ponte for me. I'm still tempted to try the ruched one based on Laurie's good word. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690415 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 01:51:02 +0000 ma 1690415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one and wore it a ton last summer and a few times this summer as well. I think it runs big. Easy to dress up or down and comfy. I am tempted to get the rouched one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690408 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 01:34:19 +0000 Laurie 1690408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the ruched one and I love it.. just wore it again today and it never fails to get compliments.&nbsp; Like others, I wear it with something on the long side to cover my backside (a little bodycon for nursing home work).&nbsp; What I love the most is its comfort. I HATE waistbands as a general rule and avoid skirts for that reason, and pants as well.&nbsp; But that skirt really is like wearing pajamas.&nbsp; Highly recommend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690406 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 01:22:45 +0000 Suz 1690406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Diana's right -- the tube skirt is completely different from the ponte skirt. Some versions below.&nbsp;</p> <p>Like her, I find it sticks to tights so it is a summer item only for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690382 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 00:35:03 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1690382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I have a ruched one and wore it a lot the first year I had it, but haven't reached for it since. I did always wear something on the longer side over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690380 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 00:32:30 +0000 marianna 1690380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE them.

I'm definitely looking for a summer skirt. I will look for fabrication. </p> <p>I like pajamas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690312 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 22:39:16 +0000 Diana 1690312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not talking about the ponte vs. the jersey.&nbsp; The ponte is much thicker and stiffer and more like a pencil skirt, e.g. I would never wear it.&nbsp; The jersey is like pajamas. ;)</p> <p>What I meant was that the jersey tube skirt (in the find below) comes in two different types of jersey fabric.&nbsp; They are both very soft, lightweight, and forgiving, I just find the rayon one to feel and drape nicer. </p> <p>ETA: If it matters, for me the jersey tube skirt is definitely a warm weather (bare legs) skirt.&nbsp; It sticks to all tights and leggings in my experience although not everyone seems to have this problem.&nbsp; I do wear it in spring and fall with boots and bare legs.&nbsp; If you wanted something that you could wear with hosiery, you may need to go with the ponte.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690308 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 22:29:03 +0000 Anonymous 1690308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think based on my size I will get the larger of two sizes.

I always wear something longish over my skirts, when I do wear them. &nbsp;They are very comfortable and easy to wear, that's for sure. Must get them out again. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690301 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 22:03:23 +0000 DonnaF 1690301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two in different fabrications.&nbsp; I dislike bodycon anything (no true skinnies in my closet), so I sized up and then had the waist taken in.&nbsp; My soft knit one is more forgiving than the other stretchy one that I bought in a non-petite size and then hacked a few inches off.&nbsp; With the latter I need to wear a longer fluid top since it seems to highlight my tummy.&nbsp; With the former I can wear an obi belt. </p> <p>BTW, neither are ruched.&nbsp; I felt the solid ruched ones might show up pilling due to their fabrication.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690295 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 21:37:05 +0000 Suz 1690295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my own (limited) experience, not all tube skirts are created equal. Some are literal tubes -- those ones go way beyond body conscious to ...ugh. At least on me!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, I <b>do</b> find the VC skirt body con, but no more so than skinny jeans, and something about the layered fabric does a lot to disguise. Plus, many people wear it exclusively with longer, fluid tops. I've worn mine with that type of top, a pullover, a loose kimono and tank, and more fitted top on its own or with a denim jacket, as well as a boxy cropped top, and felt fine in it in all these combinations.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690294 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 21:32:13 +0000 Anonymous 1690294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's another skirt in that style. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-side-ruched-tube-skirt/4263965?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=GREY-%20GREY%20STRIPE" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....Y%20STRIPE</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690274 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 20:58:06 +0000 texstyle 1690274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have the VC skirt but I saw this one today and thought of it:<br /><a href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/AllProducts/PRD~C3811/C3811.jsp?nav_type=OBIN" rel="nofollow">https://www.madewell.com/madew....._type=OBIN</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690267 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 20:50:53 +0000 Diana 1690267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two and I love them.&nbsp; I found them to run large.&nbsp; I usually have to buy a large in slim skirts to fit my hips (I am a pear with L hips and M waist) and mine are both mediums and not even tight in the hip.&nbsp; I'd say the waist is true to size though, so I guess it probably depends on your body type.&nbsp; The double layering hides a lot of lumps and bumps.&nbsp; Mine are both regular length and just cover my knees - I'm 5'3.5" with long legs for reference.</p> <p>One thing to note is that there are two different fabrics.&nbsp; Some are a rayon-based jersey, whereas others are a poly-based jersey. IMO the rayon one feels nicer and has a better drape, plus it's more breathable.&nbsp; I don't know about the current colors, but in the last few years the stripes and solids were the rayon jersey whereas the non-stripe prints were the poly. </p> <p>ETA: Mine are both the unruched ones.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690263 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 20:43:24 +0000 Anonymous 1690263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really have to pull mine out and wear them again. &nbsp;I find them extremely body conscious though, which makes me laugh as others seem to find them not so. &nbsp;Maybe it's ME who is body conscious. Anyways I found them to be sized fairly generously . Btw - do you realize they are not hemmed &nbsp;? &nbsp;i.e a raw hem? That took me aback at first, but I soon ignored it. It's not the dressiest skirt going but good for everyday , and the others say here. &nbsp;I didn't go for the ruched one, just the straight cut ones. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690262 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 20:37:25 +0000 Suz 1690262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirts. They are perfect for those who have a casual style. Easy to dress up or down.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with Angela on the sizing. It's super forgiving and they fit on the large side to begin with. I got regular vs. petite size and it worked for me at 5'4". &nbsp; In the first two skirts I got, I had to hem them a bit. But that was the earliest model; in the last 3 I got I never had to hem.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690251 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 20:06:36 +0000 Angela K 1690251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my 4 VC tube skirts. They are so comfy and I feel really put together when I wear them. I find the sizing to be very forgiving. When I bought mine a couple years ago I was much smaller. I can still wear the same skirts, but I wear them with oversized tops in longer length to camouflage the additional curves. I have both the regular and petite sizes as one particular color only had petite left. Not really that much difference in it and my others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vc-skirt-a-good-option-for-me#post-1690243 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 19:56:35 +0000 Anonymous 1690243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on Marianna's post about popular YLF items, made me think about this skirt again. I've been considering either the VC tube or ruched skirt. I only see the ruched skirt in my size one place - guessing this is a discontinued style in missy sizing. Do you think either would be a good shape for me? I like this over a pencil skirt for ease and casualness. Do you think they both run fairly TTS?</p> <p>Others, what say you about how this skirt has worked for you? TIA. </p>
