The pull tab will be removed.</p> <p>Angie, if I ever encounter a wardrobe malfunction even half as disastrous as accidentally unzipping the back of my skirt, I guarantee that I will tell everyone at YLF as soon as possible! </p> <p>Elizabeth, good point. I think if I were interested in having my clothes look like scuba gear I could go all out and join team SCUBA JUMPSUIT! If only I owned a wetsuit I could post the best WIW... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cutting-off-the-pull-tab#post-225947 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 06:28:19 +0000 Scarlet 225947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, I think that is the scuba inspired-part. On the one hand I think the tab makes the very non-hidden zipper make more sense, but on the other hand I would also be afraid of the tab unzipping when getting caught on something. If you have the skirt in black, then the zipper is probably less noticeable anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cutting-off-the-pull-tab#post-225932 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 05:30:31 +0000 taylor 225932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt!!</p> <p>It is strictly for aesthetics...like the exposed zipper theme, they all had ribbon from the zipper, I happen to love the visual interest of it:) </p> <p>Feel free to remove, it shan't fall apart at the seams:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cutting-off-the-pull-tab#post-225924 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 05:16:37 +0000 Elizabeth 225924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It says in the description on the website that it is a "scuba gear-inspired detail." So, if you aren't concerned with your skirt looking like scuba gear, then cut it off! </p> <p>(Super cute skirt, btw. Can't wait to see your WIW pics!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cutting-off-the-pull-tab#post-225923 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 05:13:59 +0000 Angie 225923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cut away. </p> <p>*chuckle* </p> <p>I have visions of your skirt unzipping as you stand up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cutting-off-the-pull-tab#post-225921 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 05:12:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 225921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the purpose is just to make it easier to get the zipper down and the skirt off. There's no reason why you can't remove it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cutting-off-the-pull-tab#post-225917 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 04:54:58 +0000 Queen Mum 225917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that's interesting...<br /> Yes, I think I'd cut it off. Not sure what the purpose is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cutting-off-the-pull-tab#post-225916 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 04:52:51 +0000 Kate 225916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the scuba pencil skirt from Loft, and I LOVE it! I'll post pictures in a WIW soon. My only issue is that it has this awkwardly large pull tab.</p> <p>Look at the second picture on the website, and zoom in on the zipper:</p> <p><a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=28160&#038;N=0&#038;Ntk=KeywordSearch&#038;Ntt=scuba&#038;Nty=1&#038;Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&#038;found=14&#038;defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....pe=Regular</a></p> <p>I bought the black skirt, so it's not quite as obvious, but it's still a giant pull tab. Not only do I not like the way it looks, I'm afraid it will get caught on something while I'm sitting and unzip me when I stand up! (I might be over-thinking this...)</p> <p>So, can I cut it? </p> <p>Usually I would just snip it and never look back, but I'm curious why the designers thought it was worth including in the first place. Is it super chic and I just don't get it?! </p>
