I forgot about this type of fabric with tights. A clinging nightmare.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt/page/2#post-1334793 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 08:42:01 +0000 lyn67 1334793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great skirt, I vote keep and alter&nbsp; to just under the knee.&nbsp;BUT I would wear it at least once at the original length, too:-). With&nbsp;a top untucked like in nr 1. For me it's not frumpiously too big and long, unless in the pictie where you hold your tee up. I guess the proportions with a longer, banded top for ex., will look better, evcen at the original length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt/page/2#post-1334770 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 05:22:39 +0000 Neel 1334770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you tried them Shannon!

Plus the tights. I think that would just end up being bulky.</p> <p>Gigi - definitely a fabrication issue due to the fabric lining. This is the same issue with the VC tube skirts which is why I only wear them in the warm weather and can be bare legged.</p> <p>Deborah - why am I not surprised you'd like the dark red better - lol!</p> <p>Suz - right?</p> <p>Lisa - don't fret you silly woman! Your comments were spot on and respectful. And yeah, returns to Nordstrom cost us as Canadians. But I knew that going in :)</p> <p>Sveta - it is a lot of skirt indeed and I'm thinking probably better suited for someone taller. As for EF, I have the sneaky suspicion that pretty soon that's the only brand that's going to be in my closet!</p> <p>Thanks ladies - your feedback is invaluable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334606 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:41:55 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1334606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwwwwwww. &nbsp; Well, it's no good if you can't wear it when you want to wear it! &nbsp;Besides, the next good thing is around the corner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334598 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:35:11 +0000 Angie 1334598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast.

It is a lot of a skirt and somehow it felt off on you to my eye.:-(<br />You should be faithful to EF, that lady never let's you down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334592 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:31:57 +0000 Anonymous 1334592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh, I was stressing out about my comments while out on my walk this evening and as soon as I got back ,ran in to delete them. This critiquing is going to give me a nervous breakdown. I can't handle doing it. &nbsp;Like, who am I? &nbsp; &nbsp;Honestly glad it was the tights issue. &nbsp;And if you're feeling feisty, I would go at Nordstrom a bit for free shipping on the return - or is that already a policy? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334559 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:51:19 +0000 Suz 1334559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh. That is too too bad. I am sorry. It's a real bear -- the tights issue -- and why I don't wear my tube skirts in fall/ winter. Why do we have to live in such a beastly climate? when our best silhouettes include narrow and tapered on the bottom??????&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334546 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:30:04 +0000 Deborah 1334546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Onward and upward Shannon. I have just read your dark red post and while I like this skirt, it didn't excite me for me any where near as much as the dark red items </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334545 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:27:56 +0000 Gigi 1334545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, is there any way to find out whether tights will cause this with other skirts? Do you think it's a fabrication issue? Or is the skirt not lined? It's too bad for you to be spending money on shipping and returns when the question of size and fit is moot due to the skirt riding up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334541 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:21:51 +0000 Anonymous 1334541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw,I was picturing this skirt with your black and white jacket. Would wearing a slip help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334540 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:20:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1334540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I don't mind the broken dots at the seams . I actually think that's part of the charm of the skirt. And I you look at the stock pic, it's clear the dots don't match at the seams. But I am returning the skirt due to the tights cling issue. </p> <p>Donna - it's quite a long skirt. If I pull it all the way up to just under my bust, it's the right length. Ooooohhhhh...maybe I could wear it as a tube dress - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334535 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:13:37 +0000 Suz 1334535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, were you holding it in front so it would stay up when you showed the back view? That might account for what people are saying about the back vent looking peculiar.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the idea of this skirt. I'm a bit "iffy" on the pattern not matching at the seams. I don't mind the broken dots where there are no seams (like them, in fact) but my eye keeps wanting to match them up at the seams.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, if Wonder Woman thinks she can alter, I am pretty sure it will be fantastic. So let's see how she pins it! :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334532 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:10:12 +0000 DonnaF 1334532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for ordering this skirt and showing us Shannon.&nbsp; I wish Nordstrom.com made a practice of always telling us skirt length.&nbsp; Although I live in California, I think I'd want a skirt that would also work with tights.&nbsp; Which makes me wonder if the ponte skirts I have on my list will pass that test. . .I don't have a Wonder Woman so I'm always leery of a garment that requires alterations beyond hemming.&nbsp; Thanks for saving me an order! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334528 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:06:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1334528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the big dots too Dianthus but my goodness, it was awful with the tights. But hey - now we know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334525 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 00:03:58 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1334525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect I am more bummed about this than you are Shannon. &nbsp;I LOVE those big dots and they remind me of a previous time so I wanted it to work so I could be a lemming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334515 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:56:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1334515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well ladies - as much as I like the strange dots and the idea of skirt, as well as know Wonder Woman could make it fit, it's going back. </p> <p>I just tried it with tights and it's a disaster. In walking down my bedroom hallway twice the skirt crawled up to my knees in a big bunch and stayed there. It's a deal killer. I need a skirt that can work with tights for fall and winter.</p> <p>Plus I like it and it has potential, but I don't love it.</p> <p>I appreciate everyone's comments. This is not the skirt for me - onward to better things </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334506 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:44:46 +0000 Karie 1334506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirts like this are not difficult to alter, and Wonder Woman could easily make it fit perfectly. I love the dots. Keep and alter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334502 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:40:04 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1334502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the skirt but if I recall correctly, you were getting it because the VC's don't work with tights. &nbsp;Before you decide to invest another $40, I think you should test it with tights to see whether it actually fills a hole or not.</p> <p>I was at the bay on the way home and they had a VC tube in B&amp;W. &nbsp;It may be one you have and it was on sale and it was my size. &nbsp;I tried it on and decided it didn't add anything new to my closet so I left it. &nbsp;Practice what you preach right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334498 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:37:05 +0000 catgirl 1334498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Compared to other skirts you have I think this is an off fit, Shannon. I agree it has potential, if you are willing to tweak. I agree the vent is odd somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334497 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:35:16 +0000 Anonymous 1334497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the spirit of the recent long thread re: honesty and compliments (or whatever it was called) .....I'm not a big fan of this for a number of reasons - the biggest of which is that I've seen you look , well, killer , in a skirt, and I'm not seeing it here. But - others do, including Angie, and this is where I start second guessing myself. &nbsp;I don't want those polka dots to be so big </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334490 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:23:33 +0000 Deborah 1334490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I really like the broken dots, it makes it a bit more interesting than a 'typical' polka dot skirt.&nbsp; I agree with your assessment and if Wonder Woman could do the necessary alterations that would be great.&nbsp; I think my only hesitation would be how does this fit with your current direction?&nbsp; While it definitely has a sense of fun, it reads a little more classic.&nbsp; Don't get me wrong, I think it looks good, I just want to be sure it wouldn't be orphaned.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334482 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:14:22 +0000 Diana 1334482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, as is I think it looks too big. And I agree with Amy that I don't care for the vent so I'd close it if possible. Maybe try pinning and seeing what that looks like? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334477 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:10:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1334477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LBD and Tanya - I smile all the time so don't let that sway you - lol!</p> <p>Sterling - totally appreciate your honesty. </p> <p>Angie - thanks for your keen eye.</p> <p>Maybe what I'll do is take it to Wonder Woman with tags attached, see what she says and get her to pin it to see how it looks. Then decide! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334455 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 22:51:55 +0000 Tanya 1334455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It s a very fun skirt, but it does look too big and too long.&nbsp; If you Wonder Woman can fix that, I say go for it and have it altered.&nbsp; It seems&nbsp; to make you very happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kra-tildon-tube-skirt#post-1334445 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 22:43:30 +0000 Angie 1334445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous potential.&nbsp;Keep and alter.
