I tried 2 sizes and neither worked for me. The waist tight (not good for an apple)&nbsp;and rest too loose and shapeless&nbsp;(similar to the old Halogen seamed pencils on me, but I was able to taper those in a larger size, this didn't seem like that would make sense or it would be too much work for the item) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984952 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:08:42 +0000 nancylee 984952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. &nbsp;The fabrication was what I was most skeptical about....sounds like&nbsp;it's not what I'm looking for. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984951 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:07:42 +0000 Angie 984951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt didn't make my list because the fabric wasn't all that fab. Fit was a little off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984949 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:04:09 +0000 nancylee 984949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap, I hope you have better luck with the skirt than others. &nbsp;Sorry if this post burst your bubble a bit. &nbsp;:(</p> <p>Briar, thanks so much for the detailed report. &nbsp;Based on everyone's reporting, I think I'm going to pass on this skirt. (Unless I see it in person today and decide otherwise!)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984543 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:45:53 +0000 Briar 984543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased the blue/black brocade. The pattern pic above looks like cheetah--mine seemed to have more swirly brocade design as shown online. It seems to be a bit of both. It is a flat print vs. raised. The online picture makes this skirt look knee length. Mine came significantly past my knees so it's being hemmed by alterations. I agree with Sarah--this is not a winter weight material, but be nice in a warmer fall/winter climate like we have in Texas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984347 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 22:46:27 +0000 Anonymous 984347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The turquoise mirror print skirt is by far, my favorite item at NAS. Hope it works. Good to know, downgrading expectations now ;( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984151 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:38:43 +0000 nancylee 984151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;Thanks for the photo, Sarah. &nbsp;You weren't kidding about the online photo being deceiving. &nbsp;This looks like a different skirt altogether. &nbsp;It really does look like an animal print IRL, and the cotton fabrication just isn't what I'm looking for. &nbsp;Dang. &nbsp;I was really hoping it would be more like the VC tube midi. &nbsp;</p> <p>Deb, sorry it didn't work out for you. &nbsp;And thanks for the information about the hem. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984082 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:26:27 +0000 deb 984082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on the turquoise print. It fit me great but it is longer and I cannot wear heels. It is not hemmable (sp?) because it is curved from the hip to the hem. I would have purchased it if I could have shortened it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984042 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:47:58 +0000 sarah 984042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, it's not brocade-y. It feels like a&nbsp;cotton animal print. The photo online is very deceiving. I've snapped a photo with my phone, below. I don't know if that helps?</p> <p>I had to size up in petite sizing, but I always have to with the Halogen skirts. For some reason (I think because I'm very short waisted and a rectangle), they don't fit me TSS, as they do others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984025 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:37:45 +0000 nancylee 984025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rachy. &nbsp;Hm. &nbsp;Does it read "brocade" in real life? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984023 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:36:54 +0000 rachylou 984023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was one of the things that drew me into NAS, but you know when I got there, I didn't try it on. I was looking for something more "pencilly" and I do already have a brocade skirt. Fabrication looked good to me, tho, on the hanger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984020 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:36:12 +0000 nancylee 984020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for weighing in Sarah. &nbsp;The summer weight is disappointing because I was hoping it could be a good fall/winter alternative. &nbsp;The colors seem so cool weather. &nbsp;But at least the length is good.&nbsp;</p> <p>How was the sizing?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-984010 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:30:27 +0000 sarah 984010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Nancy (and Zap): I bought it and have it here, but I think I may return it. the fabric is lightweight - it seems summery to me, not wintery, and paired with a sweater it gives a seasonally confused vibe. This is too bad, because I really like the longer length and also the somewhat looser cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-983996 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:20:46 +0000 nancylee 983996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Zap! &nbsp;Fingers crossed for a winner. &nbsp;It would be great to have a cool weather alternative to the VC midis.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-halogen-print-skirtanyone-try-it#post-983991 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 17:19:11 +0000 Anonymous 983991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one coming my way.
