Otherwise a very good look on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1887306 Thu, 08 Feb 2018 04:11:46 +0000 Kari 1887306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fake whiskering is such a big pet peeve. I agree, it makes a cool piece look cheap. Too bad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1886003 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 18:36:58 +0000 LaPed 1886003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, whiskering. Drives me crazy. What a shame, cause it looks great on you and it's a really cool cut.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1886000 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 18:31:03 +0000 Katerina 1886000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree on the whiskering. Otherwise, it is a lovely skirt. What Janet says? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885985 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 17:39:51 +0000 Janet 1885985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if others of that same skirt all have wonky whiskering. I like the cut and length of that skirt a lot. I’d be tempted to see if another skirt has a more even, and maybe even more subtle, whisker pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885979 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 17:28:21 +0000 karen13 1885979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 12 looks great, but I am with you on hating bad whiskering, and faux distressing in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885939 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 15:00:10 +0000 viva 1885939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm honestly not sure I would have noticed the poor whiskering if you had not pointed it out. Now that you have, of course, I cannot NOT see it. Cool shape, though, and it looks good on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885929 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 13:52:05 +0000 Aquamarine 1885929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The size 12 looks great on you. Did you look at other skirts to see if the whiskering was the same? Maybe there are better versions out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885927 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 13:40:47 +0000 Janet 1885927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of wish whiskering would go away anyway. I have some old jeans that have it, and I still wear them (they’re fading and distressed anyway), but it’s not really necessary or fresh looking anymore. </p> <p>That said, it’s not terribly noticeable on you in the full length photos, and the skirt looks otherwise pretty great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885921 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 13:32:03 +0000 Suzanimal 1885921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 12 looks like it fits you properly and the skirt is cute but that whiskering is truly horrendous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885895 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 10:25:03 +0000 Style Fan 1885895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report Anna.&nbsp; I had my eye on that skirt but I had not noticed the whiskering.&nbsp; Too bad.&nbsp; It is a great skirt and the first size looked amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885870 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 06:09:41 +0000 Gigi 1885870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish places would just forget whiskering unless they're going to do it well. I'm currently trying to decide whether to keep a pair of Gap jeans that has subpar whiskering. Everything about the jeans is great...except I feel that the weird whiskering is just an eyesore.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885853 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 04:01:50 +0000 Anonymous 1885853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That fake whiskering is a deal- breaker . Cheap- looking . Not worth it . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885838 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 03:38:50 +0000 Jaime 1885838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have rejected many jeans for those whiskers. Why? You could overdye if it were worth it to you. Not that I have ever done such a thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885835 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 03:34:53 +0000 Anonymous 1885835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style of the skirt but would also be put off by the whiskering and other flaws. Thank you for your report. It saved me a trip to Anthro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885825 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 02:50:11 +0000 Suz 1885825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this style on you! I know you'd style it really well. It's too bad you didn't like the whiskering. That is such a frustrating flaw.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885823 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 02:19:41 +0000 Anonymous 1885823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad but love your top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885821 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 02:03:29 +0000 unfrumped 1885821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review.<br /> Why do they DO that?! Because it’s a graceful skirt otherwise.<br /> I’ve been annoyed when dark denim jeans have unnecessary and odd whiskering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885819 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 02:01:33 +0000 rachylou 1885819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the fake whiskering is weird... but I’d get it on sale... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885816 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 01:41:02 +0000 Emily K 1885816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah...that whiskering IS bad. &nbsp;Bummer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885813 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 01:19:57 +0000 Bijou 1885813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The size 12 fits you really well, it does not look too tight and denim usually stretches. I can see why you passed on this, because now that you mention it, those lines are just too symmetrical and do look odd and would bother me too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/field-trip-report-from-anthro#post-1885812 Sun, 04 Feb 2018 01:07:57 +0000 annagybe 1885812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I had a split call day &amp; had time to check out the asymmetric denim skirt recommended by Angie<br /> I'd say it runs large.<br /> The first two pics are a size 12. A bit snug, but wearable because of the stretch. The next two pics are size 14. Probably end up too big or baggy.<br /> I liked everything about it &amp; would have gone for a size 12, except.... the fake whiskering. I didn't really notice it in the online pic, but I find it really bad in real life. The stripes are too even, don't line up with the lines of the skirt. The size 14 (last pic) is the worst, they stop over an inch away from the fly.<br /> If it ever goes to clearance, I might consider it. Otherwise the search continues </p>
