Or maybe shorten; it's hard for me to imagine. I think you have way more flattering stuff, and if this was a new item K/R post, I think the consensus would be pass...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024746 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 02:32:09 +0000 Day Vies 1024746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Length and color are fine. Like one of the other ladies said I find myself wanting to taper it. I think additional styling is needed. I agree with Adelfa that hosiery etc. should be styled with it before you make any major changes. I really like the blouse with this color compelling but the skirt's shape is throwing off the silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024744 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 02:28:44 +0000 annagybe 1024744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 show before you alter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024742 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 02:23:02 +0000 Diana 1024742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, I can't narrow it. It's pretty fitted in the hip and upper thigh. I actually had to let out one of the hip darts as this was originally made to fit me 15 pounds ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024716 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 01:29:48 +0000 nancylee 1024716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it might just need some tapering. &nbsp;The length and color are fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024711 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 01:26:14 +0000 Jaime 1024711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it in #1 - that is the sort of thing I would wear. Not sure if you want to taper or just narrow the whole thing. I hope wiser minds advise - the color is terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024706 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 01:16:41 +0000 Diana 1024706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I pinned the bottom sides about 2" on each side with a 4-5" tall dart.&nbsp; Added photos up above.&nbsp; Does that help at all, or it that not enough taper to do anything?&nbsp; More is too restrictive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024639 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:41:55 +0000 Suz 1024639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try the taper and see. It's a gorgeous colour and looks like a nice fabric.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024633 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:32:05 +0000 Diana 1024633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I wish I had some pilgrim shoes! Wonder if it would work with my Victorian granny oxfords?</p> <p>Eta: I might be able to taper it by an inch or two, but probably not more. Will have to pin it and see if I can walk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024629 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:11:44 +0000 annagybe 1024629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was almost going to say taper, but then you said you couldn't walk in it then.<br />I think it works in Marc Jacobs pilgrim kind of way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024556 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 21:40:37 +0000 Joan Joplin 1024556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd taper it, but I like the length </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024529 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:59:28 +0000 Adelfa 1024529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see it with boots or dark tights. I think that might look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeptossalter-teal-midi-skirt#post-1024520 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:54:04 +0000 Diana 1024520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With all the midi talk these days, I thought about this skirt that my mom made for me ~10 years ago.&nbsp; I think I may have posted this here a year or two ago, and the consensus then was to shorten it. I never got around to doing that though.&nbsp; Now that slimmer midis seem to be trending, what do we think?&nbsp; </p> <p>Styled with a patterned blouse and the EF booties.&nbsp; It's a non-stretch wool fabric, so definitely wintery and I would probably wear darker tights.&nbsp; I could also wear heeled or flat oxfords, or midcalf or tall boots.&nbsp; I do not wear low vamp shoes or pumps in general.&nbsp; </p> <p>What do we think about the hem width?&nbsp; Unfortunately I don't think it can easily be tapered as the fabric has no stretch and this width is about as narrow as I can get while still being able to walk somewhat normally. There is no back seam (only side seams) so I couldn't add a back vent, and I think a side vent would just make it flap around, no?&nbsp; </p> <p>Please ignore the line down the front.&nbsp; It's a crease from being folded up and I'd iron it out before wearing! </p> <p>ETA: I decided it could maybe be tapered a little bit.&nbsp; So I've tried pinning it, about 2" on each side on the bottom with about a 4-5" tall dart.&nbsp; Photo 4 is tapered, 5 is the original hem.&nbsp; Sorry for bad photography - hope you can see a difference.&nbsp; Any better?</p>
