I do love that camel color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-674366 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 03:13:45 +0000 DonnaF 674366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new skirt definitely runs TTS and the fabric is thinner than the old one. The *hug* was too close when I sized down to my old Halogen pencil skirt size, and every bump and bulge showed. FWIW, the new skirt didn't strike me as a lot bigger in the waist and smaller in the hips -- but like most skirts on me, it was big enough in the waist such that I will need to check the location of the side seams throughout the day to ensure they are in the right place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-673726 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:18:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 673726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohhhh good to know - I have a black petite on its way to me from an order a month ago so will have some idea as to fit/quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-673686 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:42:40 +0000 rae 673686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, great to know! The old ones did NOT fit my saddlebags. If these have bigger hips, it might work for me. Worth a try since the cut has changed - thanks for the info! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-673685 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:41:59 +0000 Claudia 673685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, MK. Bummer. I was so happy with this skirt and am sorry they changed it. Bigger in the waist and smaller in the hips will not work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-673681 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:40:02 +0000 MsMary 673681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a few and am not as happy with the new style. I think it makes my hips look big. I kept the dark camel one because I really need that color, but the red and the blue are going back. Still on the fence about the colorblocked black/purple one -- will have to do a K or R over the weekend.</p> <p>The sizing is different, too. It's TTS now, and seems to be bigger in the waist and smaller in the hips than the former style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-673677 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:38:08 +0000 Claudia 673677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, so far most of the Nordstrom reviewers who had the previous version don't care for it as much now. I am interested in what YLF members that have had both on think of the changes to a thinner fabric, the sizing and seams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-673665 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:31:20 +0000 Anonymous 673665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard that they have changed the sizing and the seam placement on these ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt-on-sale#post-673659 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:26:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 673659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FYI - the famous Halogen seamed pencil skirt is on sale as part of NAS. Lots of colours available in both regular and petite sizes. </p>
