It just not tapered over my thighs.<br /> Claire &lt;waving mack to Monty&gt;<br /> Elly, thanks, you are very kind, I really appreciate this.<br /> I do have 2 pencil skirts but they both end on the knee and none is midi length so either tapered or not this is a new shape for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612399 Fri, 04 May 2012 18:47:26 +0000 Meredith1953 612399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt! I actually like it tapered and also non tapered as each gives it a different feel. Your call! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612396 Fri, 04 May 2012 18:45:24 +0000 Sveta 612396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for replying!<br /> Well, opinions are quite divided: taper and good length, not taper and good length, shorten to the knee...<br /> I think i need Angie's opinion on this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612092 Fri, 04 May 2012 07:36:06 +0000 Astrid 612092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like #1 better. Like Deborah said, it creates a perfect balance of proportions. It simply looks lovely and I think #1 works better with the fabric too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612091 Fri, 04 May 2012 07:25:19 +0000 Deborah 612091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joining the minority but fro. These pics I prefer #1. I actually find #2 entering the frumpy zone!! Can't put my finger on why, but #1 seems to be create a perfect balance of proportions. It's a lovely skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612052 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:55:13 +0000 Elly 612052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing constructive to say other than I think the combo is really elegant but still interesting )colors, textures) subtle and dramatic. I love looking at your WIWs because you pull off some very interesting things . . . but it is always about you, you look gorgeous and the clothes accentuate your features and your statuesque presence. I rarely see you in something that is wearing you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612046 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:44:20 +0000 Kate 612046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer it non-tapered Sveta, simply because tapering it makes it look like a pencil skirt--and you have at least one of those. The non-tapered version gives you a different skirt silhouette, and one that I like on you. I also think the fabric lends itself better to the non-tapered style.</p> <p>Besides, you can always taper it later if you find you just aren't pulling it out of your closet to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612036 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:25:19 +0000 rae 612036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it either way, but I voted to taper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612028 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:10:34 +0000 Lyn D. 612028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one gives a more balanced overall shape, I think.<br /> Love the colour and fabric! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-612020 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:03:20 +0000 ManidipaM 612020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer it NOT tapered, actually. But either way, that is an AWESOME garment, Sveta! Absolutely head over heels in love with it, and you wear midis so very well with your long legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611957 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:55:55 +0000 modgrl 611957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well at this length it looks like an unintentional midi to me. It is the fabric that makes it not work for me. If it was a more stretchy form fitting fabric, I think it would work better at this length. For me, I would prefer this skirt hit right to the top of the knee cap. I understand lengthening is not a priority for you, so take my feedback with a grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611948 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:44:56 +0000 Anonymous 611948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your mom is so amazing, Sveta! I love this skirt. I want to vote for it to be tapered, but I'm anxious to see what Angie says, since she knows *what's coming* down the fashion turnpike, so to speak, and how to do the slouchy, soft styled dressing. Your inch and a half shoes seem fine with it. And you look absolutely lovely in this outfit today! I love your scarf and blouse with it. *waving to Monty's cousin* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611939 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:32:29 +0000 Aida 611939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% taper!!

What a beautiful piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611922 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:21:34 +0000 Tanya 611922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous skirt! The color and texture are beautiful.

Now I need to blackmail my mom into tapering it: for some reason she was adverse to this idea... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611909 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:12:26 +0000 Suz 611909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG - LOVE this skirt, Sveta!!!

Not frumpy!!! Really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611898 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:08:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 611898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That fabric is so beautiful Sveta - I can see why you'd want a skirt made of it. I love the length of the skirt and it can definitely work with flats. No frump factor at all. I do prefer it a bit more tapered though (as long as you can walk in it!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611895 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:07:21 +0000 crazyone 611895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for reasons I cannot articulate, I think I'd like this skirt if it were shorter. And I loved you in the flared midis you purchased earlier, so it's not that I have a poison eye for midis But of the two options I prefer it without the taper. Otherwise, it's a fab skirt in terms of material and fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611892 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:06:35 +0000 Anonymous 611892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice both ways, but I prefer it tapered. That colour/pattern is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-opinion-on-a-new-skirt#post-611878 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:58:53 +0000 Sveta 611878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a new skirt (yes, another skirt!). I bought this fabric some time ago and asked my mom to make a skirt for me. It is teal, lace, midi and high-waisted!<br /> I wore it today for the first time and I need an honest opinion.<br /> It is not very tapered on the bottom (pic. 1). Does it look OK like this or should I taper it like in pic.2?<br /> I know it is a no brainer with higher heels but I don't wear high heels too often so I plan to wear this skirt withlow heels and flats. Here it is with my nude Fidjis with 1.5 in heels. Does it look frumpy at this length and silhouette?<br /> pic.3 shows the fabric texture better but the color is more accurate in pic. 1-2.<br /> Please vote:<br /> Yay - it is good like it is - in pic.1<br /> Nay - it is better tapered like in pic.2</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
