Thank you so much. I think I will keep both skirts, but will look for suitable and more flattering tops as soon as summer clothes hit the stores here. I will consider posting a photo to clarify my body type... Hil. I got the striped skirt from spree.co.za and polka dot one from Truworths. Fabric of striped one is quite a thin t shirt fabric, but think it will be nice and cool in summer. Polka dot one thicker polyester. abc on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988902 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 03:08:47 +0000 abc 988902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely keepers in my book (both) Caro in Oz on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988779 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:07:51 +0000 Caro in Oz 988779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them on you Nicole D on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988775 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:04:27 +0000 Nicole D 988775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pear?  Where?  Wear!  Wear!   Anonymous on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988765 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:50:42 +0000 Anonymous 988765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dotty one looks really great on you.  Please keep.

I am also a pear shape and have been wanting to try wearing a tube skirt. I think it looks fantastic on you! I have always thought - and I could be wrong on this - that a top with an asymmetrical hemline helps to elongate the body, and therefore helps to disguise a poochy belly.  Although I like both, I have a slight preference for the stripped skirt. Maybe it's that the horizontal stripes seem to balance out the width of the top?  Beth Ann on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988465 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:27:48 +0000 Beth Ann 988465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another "oh yes!" here.  I don't see a figure worry at all and I think the skirts are flattering and brilliantly practical for most lifestyles.  I also like the polka dot best with this particularly top, but the stripe is every bit as nice. I think you've found a new silhouette!  Incidentally, I wear mine with boots in the winter.

I was gonna concur with Suz that I didn't see any pear tendencies. Maybe they're there, but very very subtle.  Lisa on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988409 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:29:18 +0000 Lisa 988409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes to both skirts, these look lovely and you.  I like the mix of slim bottom with looser top.

Where is it from? (Have I mentioned that I love having a fellow South African on board!) I'm not totally in love with that top (colour wise) with that skirt though, although I think that the top is fabulous and the right shape for the skirt! I saw some white with black stripe tube skirts at Mr Price that I want to try on. They were cute. amiable on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988373 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:44:53 +0000 amiable 988373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh my goodness - you look AMAZING in this!  Please keep and wear!  You don't look pear-ish at all - I'm guessing you're just not used to the hip-hugging skirt.  But seriously, you look wonderful! ETA: my favorite is the stripes Diane P on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988358 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:21:01 +0000 Diane P 988358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great! I prefer the stripe skirt ( I love stripes) with the slightly longer length....It makes you look taller, very flattering.

I'm another one who says you don't look very pearish here.  Either you've hidden it well, or you're not as pear as you thought! I have a slight preference for the striped skirt :-)  But if there's room in your wardrobe for both. . .

I have a slight preference for the polka dot one with the top.

In #1, the shorter looks better. The top isn't flattering at all, IMHO. Suz on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988301 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:23:53 +0000 Suz 988301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fantastic!! I love both skirts, with a slight preference for the longer length.  Are you sure you are a pear? You do not appear to be a pretty pear in these shots. I realize the top is disguising a bit, but I see maybe a slim hourglass with, um....rectangle tendencies!  Love your hair, too. What a great style.  Anonymous on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988294 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:20:50 +0000 Anonymous 988294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are you kidding me? YES, you should wear these skirts. You look fantastic! Also, I love your haircut - very fresh and sassy! Sanet on "Can this pear wear a tube skirt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-pear-wear-a-tube-skirt#post-988286 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:14:05 +0000 Sanet 988286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the look of tube skirts on others, but I'm not so sure it works on me. My pear qualities seem top pop out! I don't own any other tops right now (no summer clothes in shops yet) that I think can work, except the one pictured here (tags still attached - not a definite Keep either). I think the only top that I will feel happy in with this type of skirt is like the white one in Angie's post on tube skirts for MOTG. It will have to be a little bit longer in the front than the one pictured here and it will absolutely have to cover my bum. #1 - Not sure it is very noticable, but the skirt on the left is slightly longer than the one on the right. #2 - From the side to show what it must cover. #3 - Polkadot version. Please comment on proportions, length and whether I should just skip this trend all together.
