Last year same size, but had to take in the sides (apple and the waist) so sort of a size down except waist. This year same size, I'm deciding if I need to take it in. I find the fabric a little different, but still pretty soft, thick and substantial. Ok I tried to confirm, but I always buy mine on sale so not completely sure which models I have.<br /> Last year (I think) Dark Indigo (12 - altered down sides), storm (12 - altered), Red Rio (10) some funky orange peach color found at Rack for $10 (12-may alter)<br /> This year Purple Rosea (12-debating altering) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731253 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 06:45:49 +0000 Sylvie 731253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lone holdout again. Both last year's skirt and this year's skirt fit me fine. *shrug* Maybe I need to run a scientific experiment on creasing for you guys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731250 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 06:19:22 +0000 Michelle 731250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you're making me awfullly happy I violated a cardinal rule last year. I purchased a 2011-incarnation skirt in red in the highest size available, since Nordstrom tragically stopped making these in plus-sizes after the first year they surfaced. It was a purchase made in a fit of wild optimism, as I hoped my weight loss would allow me to get into it...Not so much...but I'm delighted I didn't wait and try and have a go with this year's model! I still have an aspirational item that doesn't fit, but at least it's actually one worth aspiring to. :)</p> <p>Nordy's, if you have spies on this forum, a word to the wise: if it aint broke, don't fix it! And make it available across size ranges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731054 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:05:35 +0000 Suz 731054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone...this is so helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731053 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:04:32 +0000 Anonymous 731053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and I'm quite upset I did not buy any more colors... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731050 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:03:30 +0000 Anonymous 731050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not like the new model either. I'm actually looking for a 2011 model in Raisin as we speak;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731047 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:59:18 +0000 Sveta 731047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hand washed last year skirts without ill effects. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731046 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:58:48 +0000 DonnaF 731046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Due to the lining, I would not try to hand wash either this year's or the old seamed pencil skirt.</p> <p>I agree with Sveta, but I bought a skirt (unhappily) anyway. : ( The old skirt is too thick for warmer weather, so I guess one could say the new one is better for balmier days. I just don't find it nearly as flattering. I bought it in my regular size BTW, whereas I had to size down on the old one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731043 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:51:57 +0000 DeeCee 731043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a bit off topic but I was wondering if anyone has tried washing this skirt instead of dry-cleaning it. I have last year's skirt, which I love. TIA </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731031 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:35:02 +0000 Suz 731031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Pil, you know how these things are. If you know the old version, the new "improved" version just never seems as good. </p> <p>But I have to admit, the old fabric was just unbelievably great. SO sturdy. </p> <p>They got a lot of complaints on the website this year so it wouldn't surprise me to see next year's version improve again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731027 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:30:14 +0000 pil 731027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year's must have been some substantial fabric. I find the fabric to be quite nice and a friend even commented on it when I showed her the skirt. Maybe my standards are just lower than Sveta's : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731026 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:30:09 +0000 Sveta 731026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, fabric is not the same AT ALL. The old ponte is very sturdy, thick and holds the shape well - the new one is much thinner and does not even look as nice...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731020 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:20:27 +0000 Suz 731020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. It sounds as if people who had them before do not like the new version. I have one of the old ones and really love it but I had to size down. But if the fabric is flimsier, that is not nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731008 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:09:51 +0000 pil 731008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have this year's skirts too. They must run a smidge large because I can wear the size I would have bought last year before my thyroid went bonkers (that's my story and I'm sitcking to it) and made me *fluffier*.</p> <p>My new purple one just came today. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731005 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:06:30 +0000 Sveta 731005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not like them, Suz, The fabric is flimsier than before and they fit differently. My guess would be that if the last year model fit you well the current one may be not a good fit.<br /> You know I have 2 of the older ones and I wanted the red one this year but it was no go...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-731002 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:03:56 +0000 Ann in New England 731002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not buy them in previous years, so I can't comment on the quality, but I bought one recently and it was true to size on the loose side. I bought an 8, which is usually a perfect fit, and there's a little bit of room, but I don't think I could have gotten away with a 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-seamed-skirts-this-year#post-730990 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:51:58 +0000 Suz 730990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone have one of this year's models? Is the fit and fabric similar? Reviews say not to size down any more? Correct? </p>
