To my eye they just didn't look like they fit properly. Those colors on you however, are just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794988 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 06:36:37 +0000 Vicki 794988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Marley, the concept was great. Did you keep the blush jacket and top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794981 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 05:47:32 +0000 Marley 794981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I returned the pants today. This morning I considered taking off the waistband - because then the rise would be perfect. But, I really don't trust my sewing skills - I'm great at ripping things apart, but not so good at putting them back together - so, back to the store they went. I'm bummed, because I really wanted to wear a head-to-toe blush outfit, but haven't seen any other affordable pants! Thanks for all of your input everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794241 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 06:41:12 +0000 ManidipaM 794241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colours Marley's wearing. And yes, I'd call this slouchy; yes, I think a half-tuck would work --- but I'm not sure why, something about the depth of the rise vs the length of the legs is feeling just a little off to me in terms of proportions. Would that change with a lower shoe height instead of booties, I wonder? Or blousing the shirt a bit more over the waistband? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794192 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 05:12:10 +0000 Marley 794192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Everyone - I just got home for the day and am now reading your feedback. I agree now that I see the frontview pic that there is something weird about the fit - and Angie you may be right - that the front rise is too high. I'm too tired to try them on tonight - so will give it another shot tomorrow and put them on again and post some pictures that focus more on that area, OK? Thank you again for your help - and oh, BTW - Vicki's hair is *cute* - nothing like she has led us to believe over the last couple of days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794092 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 03:01:43 +0000 Suz 794092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Marley, you look amazing in this style. I defer to the fit experts, but I want you to have slouchy skinnies!!! </p> <p>By the way, I am a slim (fairly straight) hourglass and I have not had success with the sizing up route. Like Denise I do better in pants designed to be slouchy skinny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794030 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:26:46 +0000 Jaime 794030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They certainly look like slouchy skinnies to me and Marley looks fantastic in the head to toe light colors. I think there is something funny about the fit in the first picture (profile looks great) but it may be how she is standing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794017 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:09:17 +0000 cciele 794017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're onto something, Angie. There was something about the fit that was throwing me off and I couldn't figure out what! Love the whole slouchy vibe though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-794008 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:56:03 +0000 Angie 794008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the concept! Half tuck works. </p> <p>Am I the only one who thinks that the front rise is too high for the narrow hip width of the pants? There is something not right about the fit. I think it's that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793984 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:29:30 +0000 Sveta 793984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is the length, do you need to hem? If so then belt loops can be made from that fabric. My mom added loops to my grey wide legs from the pocket fabric...<br /> I think belt without the loops is not comfortable, it will ride up from the pants every time you sit down and you would have to adjust it. It would drive me crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793976 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:22:18 +0000 Vicki 793976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi guys, this is Marley. Claire - I wish you were here with us too!<br /> Thanks for all your feedback! As far as a belt goes - is there a way to wear one when there aren't any belt loops? That is my dilemma! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793963 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:13:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 793963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can always get a seamstress/tailor to add belt loops </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793962 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:11:39 +0000 rachylou 793962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say yes and yes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793960 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:07:07 +0000 Sveta 793960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they do! They are looser in the seat but slimmer in the legs.<br /> I would prefer tuck with the belt but if there are no belt loops I thing it should work as well...unless she needs a belt to keep them on because of the slouch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793959 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:06:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 793959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, they look great on you - is the "no belt loops" a problem though? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793949 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:51:05 +0000 annagybe 793949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She looks like she belongs on Stockholm Street Style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793944 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:47:12 +0000 CocoLion 793944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way these look. However I find the pants that are constructed purposely to be slouchy work better on me than to size up. I think this is because I'm an hourglass. If I were built more like Marley who frankly is built like a model, I could do the sizing up trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793939 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:40:49 +0000 Anonymous 793939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! Wish I was there with you both! First of all, Marley looks amazing in this light creamy blush shade from head to toe! Love the moto; it's just fabulous.</p> <p>The skinnies look really good to me. I guess you could semi tuck if you wanted to. Is that a high-low hemline on the top? She looks fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793921 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:55:54 +0000 morethanbeige 793921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the tuck works well! I'm not sure about the definition, but I think these look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793919 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:48:23 +0000 Vicki 793919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley says thanks &amp; added that there are NO belt loops, which makes this a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793916 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:47:04 +0000 Kristin L 793916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say they're slouchy. But they may be too slouchy. I think the tuck would look better with a dark colored belt, but without the belt works as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marley-wiw-she-needs-input#post-793897 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:23:58 +0000 Vicki 793897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do these pants qualify as "Slouchy Skinnies" and does the "tuck" work without a belt?<br /> H&amp;M Blush Brocade<br /> Express metallic tank<br /> H&amp;M Blush pleather jacket</p> <p>How do you define slouchy skinnies as these are dropped in the crotch 2" and still has slim legs. Marley awaits your answers. </p>
