I have a 26" waist but 40.5" hips. I fit in the 4 in the skirt (still a bit bit in the waist) but liked the extra bum room. Had I been back to my lightest ever "adult" weight with 38" hips I would have definitely gone for the 4 or maybe even a 2. It also depends if you like the skirt to ride at your true waist or on your hips-- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470560 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 05:17:30 +0000 Anonymous 470560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really hope that everything fits.

I lol and wonder who would want me to wear them (besides silly boys). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470541 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 04:57:29 +0000 rae 470541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. I just assumed you were petite because of the F21 stuff. The selections here are often very short, but they never look indecent on you. Maybe they make longer hemlines for the Canadian market? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470540 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 04:52:48 +0000 lyn* 470540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm; now I wonder if the rest of my clothes don't fit :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470526 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 04:26:29 +0000 goldenpig 470526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, lyn! I take it back...the 6 may be the right size after all. I guess we are very similar in size. I don't know why I thought you were petite. It's not because you're Asian, because I am too. I think it's the sizes that you've previously mentioned, and maybe the pixie hair cut? That just goes to show that pictures can be so deceiving!</p> <p>I'm bringing my sleeping bag too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470517 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 04:18:07 +0000 lyn* 470517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll bring the mashmellows </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470511 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 04:07:45 +0000 Sveta 470511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn, I think you may be OK with Halogen skirt in 6. My waist is 30" and my hips are 42' and I needed sizer 10 in it. So -2" in waist and -4" in hips should be OK for 2 sizes down. Anyway I have my fingers crossed for you! And you will get more length with size 6 than with size 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470510 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 04:07:27 +0000 catgirl 470510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A medically wise decision for your organs!</p> <p>I'm putting on some hot cocoa now for the sleepover... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470506 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 03:57:07 +0000 lyn* 470506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just assumed you guys thought I was little because I'm asian. </p> <p>All the people I meet usually say ... "You're tall for being asian!" ... thanks? :p I used to be very sad that I didnt' have a "sixteen inch waist" like Scarlet O'Hara; but then I grew up and realized I'd rather let my internal organs jiggle rather than squish em all up in a corset. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470450 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 02:02:16 +0000 crazyone 470450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn*, that's interesting--for some reason I thought the clothes I sent you were too big for you, which is why they didn't work for you, so I assumed that you were thinner but taller than me. I did know you were tall. </p> <p>But I seem to recall you always buying XS and 0 sizes in most of the items you've bought recently, so I still think that the size 6 will be too big on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order/page/2#post-470439 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:30:54 +0000 Suz 470439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just SO interesting. </p> <p>You know how movie stars often turn out to be so much shorter than we imagine? </p> <p>Our own personal movie star, Lyn, is TALLER than we imagined! </p> <p>It would be so interesting to do an analysis of why several of us imagined her as petite! </p> <p>I think part of it is that you have sometimes mentioned a size when you've made purchases, lyn, and I always assumed the short height that typically goes with that size. You are also extremely nicely proportioned, so that makes height determinations trickier. And you wear youthful styles. </p> <p>Well, here's crossing fingers that the Halogen skirt will be a winner for you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470437 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:28:12 +0000 rae 470437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing what AG said! You are a great size, and lucky to be able dress and photograph smaller than you are. Slumber party at Una's house to compare sizes and try on each other's clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470434 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:22:39 +0000 catgirl 470434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're not big at all! You just photograph as very petite. I feel the opposite - I think I photograph as bigger than I really am. </p> <p>The only way to know is to meet up - come visit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470433 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:19:32 +0000 lyn* 470433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a really hard time adjusting when my hips grew after I was about 21.</p> <p>I don't think I'm particularly big. :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470388 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:33:53 +0000 catgirl 470388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you look amazingly svelte - there's NO shame in numbers... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470387 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:33:16 +0000 catgirl 470387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are fairly close to my measurements as well! I think the size 4 skirt is what you'll need because you're not as thick-waisted as me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470380 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:27:16 +0000 Aida 470380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm Lyn* those are almost exactly my measurements though I'm, like, half a foot shorter and probably have way more behind I still maintain that the 6 will likely be large on you though. I wear 2/4 or XS with the occasional S specifically in the brands listed above. But as you said, this is for waist-height items; if I had to wear lower I also drop into the 4/6 range. Fingers crossed for you that the sizing works out correctly!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470378 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:26:08 +0000 lyn* 470378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mo! I feel confident enough to tell you that once I was a size 10. Only a few years ago.</p> <p>That is enough disclosure for one day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470375 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:24:11 +0000 Mo 470375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you probably are safe with most size 6, but some of the gals say the seamed pencil skirt runs large. I am also a Calvin Klein 4. FWIW, I am usually between 26.5 / 36.5 and 27 / 37, and take a 4 or a 6 in most brands. Sometimes my thighs demand the 6 :{ It's just numbers anyway, the important thing is whether it fits and makes you look great!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470371 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:22:33 +0000 Suz 470371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me, too!!! I'm stunned. I thought you were petite!!! </p> <p>You MUST be model height! </p> <p>Holy schmoly, that's my little bit of learning for the day. </p> <p>Just goes to show why measurements alone are not enough info to do a body typing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470370 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:20:45 +0000 lyn* 470370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about "model height" - I'm 5'7" :p</p> <p>I got meat on mah bones!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470369 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:19:54 +0000 rae 470369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mind is officially blown. Are you model height? I've always thought you were sized like a spunky woodland nymph, but your measurements are actually very close to mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470351 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:11:12 +0000 lyn* 470351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I normally wear a size 0 to 4 in skirts that are not pencil skirts - I like to wear a flare skirt because my waist is small; and I can get away with a size 00 to 2 (depending from where), but when you have to take legs and stuff into account, I'm usually a size 4-6.</p> <p>I'm a Calvin Klein 4 or 6.</p> <p>I think that's the only "universal" brand I wear :p</p> <p>Oh ... and the GAP; I wear a size S. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470343 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:07:43 +0000 lyn* 470343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UGHHHHHHHHHHH. I measured myself and I seem to be a size 6. </p> <p>Maybe I just look small online? :(</p> <p>28" waist<br /> 38" hips</p> <p>:P Tee hee. *hides*</p> <p>ETA: 37" bust. YFI. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470332 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:02:21 +0000 Freckles 470332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous picks. I hope the sizing works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470209 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 21:50:59 +0000 goldenpig 470209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, cute stuff! But I agree, the skirt is going to be too big! I have a red one and wear a size 6 in that skirt and I'm pretty sure I am bigger than you (I forget, are you petite as well?). Normally I would be a 4 but I had to size up for my apple tummy. So I'm pretty sure you'd need a smaller size. What is your usual size?</p> <p>Cute earrings BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-470193 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 21:41:48 +0000 Aida 470193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made great choices, but am with the others in thinking that a 6 may be large for you. I have a VC chiffon skirt (shorter though) and I took a 2 in it; and all the Halogen tops I've tried I needed the XS and some were still too big. Pretty sure you are my size or smaller :\</p> <p>(LOVE that top!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-469885 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:44:03 +0000 Suz 469885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, Sylvie just sent me the measurements of the 2 and 4 skirts, and both of those would be too big for me; I think I am bigger than you! So I am with the others, can you cancel or change the order? I hate to see you charged duty on something you will only have to send back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-very-first-nordies-order#post-469881 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:38:18 +0000 Vix 469881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, your choices are fun but I am with others who think the sizing will be disappointing. Can you cancel your order and re-evaluate? </p> <p>I know it's hard to judge from photos but I would think you would be in the smallest sizes the house brand (Halogen or Classiques) makes...the 0 or XS.</p> <p>I would PM Angie with your measurements and ask her to weigh in. Good luck! </p>
