If not, I could vote yay one more time (not sure if I actually can but would if I could). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358578 Mon, 30 May 2011 19:20:22 +0000 Kari 358578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay from me! This looks like an awesome fit and not too tight (as long as it feels comfortable on you.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358450 Mon, 30 May 2011 15:51:28 +0000 Lisa 358450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I WISH I could get a skirt to fit me like this one does here on you, it is super fab and a definite keeper. I like the waist definition with the belt on the top. If it doesn't feel tight, I vote keep. It's a lovely outfit that gives your body a very pretty shape. These make you look slim and trim, in my opinion a loose outfit can often make someone look even larger since there is not structure to show where the body is. Great find with this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358428 Mon, 30 May 2011 15:18:21 +0000 Angie 358428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358367 Mon, 30 May 2011 11:14:27 +0000 ButterflyLady 358367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay - I love this outfit on you - and it doesn't look too tight. I think perhaps it's just because you are more used to wearing looser styles, so it feels a bit 'unfamiliar' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358362 Mon, 30 May 2011 09:55:23 +0000 krishnidoux 358362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, yay, yay and yay! You look fantastic. Perfect fit. Great figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358354 Mon, 30 May 2011 09:15:40 +0000 Deborah 358354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit is very flattering. It's elegant, and certainly doesn't look to tight to me. I agree with other comments...step out and don't hide behind baggy layers. You look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358335 Mon, 30 May 2011 07:02:12 +0000 widethinker 358335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this outfit isn't tight at all! it looks good on you and flatters your figure without being too much. i think the length is perfect too. hiding behind layers usually looks worse imo, nothing is more attractive than clothing that fits you well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358322 Mon, 30 May 2011 05:46:02 +0000 AJ 358322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks beautiful on you and skims your figure nicely! You might think it's too tight because you are used to baggy, but this looks like it fits just right! Enjoy looking good! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358321 Mon, 30 May 2011 05:40:17 +0000 Tessera 358321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep. The outfit is attractive, flattering and not at all too tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358318 Mon, 30 May 2011 05:23:12 +0000 marianna 358318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this on you. I bought that skirt and then returned it... something about it felt off but I couldn't pinpoint what it was. I've noticed we like/buy a lot of the same items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358308 Mon, 30 May 2011 04:39:56 +0000 Kappy 358308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm very surprised by all the positive replies.</p> <p>April, they don't feel tight at all. Actually, both pieces are quite stretchy (Lycra/cotton blends) and comfy.</p> <p>Denise, I agree the belt style is a little iffy. I like the elastic part and the width too. The buckle is vinyl which I don't like. Unfortunately finding a new belt is easier said than done. I've been looking for better belts but haven't had much luck finding any. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358303 Mon, 30 May 2011 04:23:53 +0000 Anonymous 358303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep. Not too snug at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358302 Mon, 30 May 2011 04:22:47 +0000 Queen Mum 358302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looks great to me! keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358244 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:41:14 +0000 sarah 358244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! It doesn't look too fitted to me at all, nor does the skirt look too short. In fact, the length looks perfect. I *really* like that skirt - the fit, the pattern, the colors. I vote keep it all! You look terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358242 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:38:57 +0000 lynn 358242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358240 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:36:29 +0000 CocoLion 358240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should add, I like the width and color of the belt, it's just the buckle that's not working for me.</p> <p>Edit: well, after reading everyone else's responses, I am in the minority about the belt buckle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358239 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:35:53 +0000 CocoLion 358239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kappy, I vote Yay as I think form fitting things look great on you, you are fortunate to be well-proportioned. However I would use another belt. It looks fine from the back, but from the front it looks like a seat belt to me. Hope you don't mind my frankness. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358235 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:28:21 +0000 Debora 358235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A definite YAY! You are rocking this outfit and it looks so figure-flattering on you. Jonesy is right that you will get a lot of use out of these pieces, together and separately.</p> <p>You look stunning!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358224 Mon, 30 May 2011 00:54:18 +0000 Jonesy 358224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit looks smashing on you!!!!!! The skirt is a perfect length (not too short at all!) and the top looks very good too--the belt is great. I could see each of these pieces being very versatile. You could wear that black top with all kinds of skirts, pants, and shorts, and that skirt would look great dressed up (e.g., with an even fancier black top) or dressed down (with a nice button down or a denim jacket).</p> <p>KEEP and enjoy some clothes that skim your fab shape and aren't baggy :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358218 Mon, 30 May 2011 00:47:22 +0000 Michelle 358218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a fellow plus-sizer, I am urging a departure from hiding behind loose-fitting clothing! Wearing items that follow curves is honestly such fun once you get into it. Based on the other reviews, I say give it a go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358216 Mon, 30 May 2011 00:42:21 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 358216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see all of the elements of a good outfit. There is pattern, texture, shine, and great fit. I am not seeing anything that looks too snug. I think the outfit is very flattering. I think both the sleeve length and skirt length are working for you. </p> <p>I voted a resounding yay. I think this is a keeper. I think it would also look nice with a colored bottom layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358213 Mon, 30 May 2011 00:38:12 +0000 christy 358213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I'm pretty new to this, but it looks great to me. I can totally understand the inclination to hide behind layers. I vote yay and would encourage you to step outside your comfort zone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358212 Mon, 30 May 2011 00:33:11 +0000 April 358212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only you can judge how they *feel*, Kappy, but I don't think these *look* too tight. I'm voting Yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-alfani-black-belted-top-and-patterned-skirt#post-358211 Mon, 30 May 2011 00:23:42 +0000 Kappy 358211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this top and skirt a while ago at Macy's. They are both by Alfani. Before asking "Keep or Return" I first wanted to decide if it was something I would even wear. The top and skirt are pretty form-fitting for me. I seem to prefer (...to hide behind...) looser items and layers. Vote Yay if you think I should keep and Nay if you feel I should return. Comments and split votes welcome. The skirt is a little short (I'm 5" 10") but it does have a 1.25 inch hem that could be let out a bit. I own no belted tops or jackets, this is the first one that seemed to even look halfway decent.</p> <p>ETA: Hmmmm, looking at these pics posted they look awfully tight. </p>
