There were lots of these types of skirts around.

I think the angle I was holding the camera might be improving the arms!!</p> <p>AviaMariah, I have problems tucking this skirt because the waistband is too big - of course that is a problem I could easily fix. I really think I need to look for a belt - I haven't bought one in ages and I find it difficult to know what to look for. I know I do best in about 2 inches wide, with some variability in length but apart from that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1166192 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 00:16:34 +0000 AviaMariah 1166192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great with the second layer. &nbsp;Try some of the before mentioned suggestions like scrunching the bottom up a bit or adding a belt. &nbsp;Can you get away with tucking your shirt in and adding a belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1166162 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 23:25:41 +0000 shiny 1166162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Anne, you look AMAZING to me. I see your waist! I know what you are saying (I've had similar frets standing in front of a mirror), but I still see your waist. It's not gone at all.&nbsp;</p> <p>My goodness you look so good, haven't seen you in awhile. I am admiring your arms and shoulders. *envy*&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1166154 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 23:10:12 +0000 anne 1166154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only 2 sleeps now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165517 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:11:31 +0000 Lantana 1165517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne you can wear this ruffled top with this skirt, no worries. When you say you broaden into waistlessness I am puzzled. I honestly do not see any broadening and I still see a hint of waist, not that waistlessness would be a problem when you have the structure of the slim skirt.<br /> Only 3 sleeps till our meet up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165503 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:57:24 +0000 anne 1165503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. Now I understand. Thanks rachy. Yes in pic 1 I was holding the second layer up to show the midsection view of the cami </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165495 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:48:41 +0000 rachylou 1165495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your top has a drop ruffle from the neckline, yes? I notice in the first pic it's not down, but it <i>is </i>in the second (which is the one I think you lose your waist in). I think it could be that the dropped ruffle - the point takes the eye right past your waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165469 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:03:14 +0000 anne 1165469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone.<br /> Abc -I know this top is too long and probably exacerbates my short legs. Usually I wear it with my wine skinnies.<br /> But the length issue shouldn't affect the waist should it?<br /> Lyn and Sunee I hadn't thought about belts. I guess I feel self conscious about them when, as now, I am above my personal happy weight.<br /> Rachylou can you expand on that? I have had the same experience with camis under other tops. Fruitful mentioned something similar once too.<br /> Una I wonder if it isn't flowy enough to be clear it's waist surrendering.<br /> Joy I like the skirt too. But I think with other tops better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165427 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 05:19:26 +0000 Anonymous 1165427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that skirt on you! The second layer looks fine to my eye. Can you scrunch the top up so it rides a bit shorter? The skirt is slender, so the top layer can have more volume, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165419 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 05:15:15 +0000 catgirl 1165419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lack of waist with my first layers!&nbsp; I think it's the second top just being itself - a little bit of waist surrender.&nbsp; It's long and a little flowy to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165386 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:40:08 +0000 rachylou 1165386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering if it's actually the neckline "taking away" your waist... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165359 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:18:36 +0000 lyn* 1165359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Indeed, or a cardigan with a skinny belt on top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165357 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:16:51 +0000 Sunee 1165357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an easy fix, just put on a belt. A skinny red or other pop of colour at your natural waist will show it off beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165313 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 03:31:07 +0000 abc 1165313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it might be the proportion. Can you try a slightly shorter top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165303 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 03:17:01 +0000 Karie 1165303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top looks fine with a slim skirt like the one you're wearing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lack-of-waist-with-second-layer#post-1165271 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 02:53:50 +0000 anne 1165271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With just the cami you can see my waist; add the second layer and I broaden into waistlessness. Any hints?</p> <p>Btw I know this top is too long to wear with a skirt but there were situational things going on. </p>
