I like the pin idea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-my-maxi-plus-a-new-faux-tuck#post-957849 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:14:36 +0000 CocoLion 957849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so clever! &nbsp;I never thought of the safety pin but I will have to use that idea next time I struggle with the semi tuck. &nbsp;And yes I am completely hooked on semi tucking clothes, except for work, where a full tuck works best due to my apron.</p> <p>I like this maxi on you and I bet it looks fantastic in movement. &nbsp;I just found one for myself earlier this week in army green. &nbsp;I don't know if I'm ready to WIW it yet. &nbsp;It's so casual it's almost loungewear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-my-maxi-plus-a-new-faux-tuck#post-957840 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 05:25:17 +0000 Adelfa 957840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, that's clever! When you're done would you post pics of the same top both ways? That will be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-my-maxi-plus-a-new-faux-tuck#post-957832 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 05:06:40 +0000 Beth Ann 957832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, you had me at blue!&nbsp; Love the color, and the proportions are perfect for you.&nbsp; I'm putting drawstings in the base of a couple of my looser knit tops, so I can draw them "up" for skirts and drop them down for pants.&nbsp; I just purchased some pretty coordinating cording, and some twill tape to make a casing.&nbsp; I sewed the casing to the bottom of the top, and inserted the cord.&nbsp; Voila! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-my-maxi-plus-a-new-faux-tuck#post-957829 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 05:01:20 +0000 Adelfa 957829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn and shevia, cobalt is my favorite color!

I am quite addicted too in terms of my casual wear! It's like elegantly casual, much like your maxi skirt! The cobalt blue looks lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-my-maxi-plus-a-new-faux-tuck#post-957688 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:07:45 +0000 Adelfa 957688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this for casual Friday (to me casual maxis are casual and I only wear them on Fridays). I love maxis and thinking about it I realize I've had a maxi skirt in my closet for most of my adult life. Comes from coming of age in the 70s! In junior high I felt so pretty whenever I wore one of the several maxi dresses my mom sewed for me. </p> <p>The only fly in the ointment was that my top didn't tuck nicely into the elastic waistband of my jersey skirt. So I rolled the top up a bit and anchored it with a safety pin! That way the hem didn't hang loose around my hips. So addicted to the semi tuck that I have to fake one! Are you addicted too? </p>
