But on seeing the photo I was drawn to the horizontal lines on the rib cage. I do wonder if the angle my daughter took the photo might have affected it too.<br /> Thanks Bijou, I always appreciate your local perspective!<br /> Barbara Diane, the thought of shortening pants occurred to me too. I am not sure I really need another pair of shorts, but if I do come across some ultra high waist pants cheaply I might consider it (I need ultra high for my long torso to have a true waist high) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299931 Wed, 04 Jan 2023 19:32:06 +0000 Barbara Diane 2299931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe create shorts by shortening a high waisted pair of pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299839 Wed, 04 Jan 2023 07:06:02 +0000 Bijou 2299839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Jussie and JenniNZ, you have a great figure and look lovely in this top - which is cool and breezy for a hot summer's day. With our weather and casual beachy lifestyle, it is totally appropriate to show a bit of skin in the summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299831 Wed, 04 Jan 2023 04:38:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 2299831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted Yay as I think it’s really pretty on you. How you think you don’t look lovely in it I’m not sure…? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299828 Wed, 04 Jan 2023 04:28:30 +0000 Suz 2299828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have a high waisted skirt, it&nbsp; will also work, Anne.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299827 Wed, 04 Jan 2023 04:16:33 +0000 anne 2299827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind words, Roberta, Angie and MsMaven. And to all the rest of you with your wisdom.</p> <p>I think most of you are on the same page as me thinking that the proportions are a little out and would be better with a higher waisted bottom. Which in my case means wearing with jeans as, perhaps due to my long torso, it's really hard to find high waisted shorts that fit me (also, because of my fuller thighs, I don't go for either baggy looks (they bunch between my legs) or short ones.</p> <p>I do have some longer tops I can wear with these denim shorts so it's all good, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299781 Wed, 04 Jan 2023 01:19:15 +0000 Dee 2299781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a cute top on you but to me it seems a smidge short, or perhaps a higher waist on the short is needed to close the gap. The cardigan open looks better than buttoned up. &nbsp;You might also try a short-sleeved button down blouse left open over it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299768 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 23:35:19 +0000 jussie 2299768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love &nbsp;it without the cardi. I thin it works reasonably well with the cardi open too, just not quite as good with the buttoned cardi. Also, I feel like it could be a winner with a skirt too. I wonder if a slightly longer cardi may work too? Or even a light denim jacket. &nbsp; Not sure but could be worth a try.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think ideally the top would be either a tiny bit longer or come up slightly higher at the top (your figure is beautiful and can easily carry it off, &nbsp;I just mean purely in terms of the shape/proportions of the garment) , however in our Australian beach/summer culture I think you can absolutely get away with it being a “teeny top”.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299753 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 22:29:09 +0000 Janet 2299753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a cute too but does look short on you. I think I prefer it as a layering piece, but I seem to be in the minority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299751 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 22:26:28 +0000 MsMaven 2299751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great for a casual hot summer day. I like it in #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299748 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 22:22:47 +0000 Style Fan 2299748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in it.&nbsp; You have toned arms and shoulders and are in great shape.&nbsp; The top is adorable.&nbsp; It would look good with high-waisted, wide-legged pants.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299708 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 20:10:35 +0000 rachylou 2299708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s great, better without the cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299694 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 19:49:27 +0000 Jules 2299694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's just the nature of the style, after all it flares out a bit from under the gathered seam rather than being fitted. It does read very casual to me, to be thrown on for a hot day, rather than something I would style with a cardi (edit, sorry I see now that the cardi was a practical choice, not necessarily a styling). Maybe with a long, loose, equally summery skirt, if you have one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299687 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:58:39 +0000 Irina 2299687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this top looks good on you. It’s a bit short but as others suggested, will work best with high waisted bottoms.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299682 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:43:02 +0000 LJP 2299682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a cute top! I think it would look best with higher waisted and looser / bf style shorts so there is no little “ skin sandwich “ between the hem of the top and the waistband of the shorts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299680 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:25:02 +0000 phoebe 2299680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually the blousy bust and nipped underbust are very flattering, might be even better with higher rise pants or a skirt.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299678 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:20:49 +0000 Star (Lise) 2299678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suntiger.&nbsp; I would like it better if it were longer, not a fan of the 50/50 ratio either.&nbsp; FWIW it looks nice on you.&nbsp; I had some tops similar although longer and gosh they were unflattering on me.&nbsp; I looked pregnant, not such a good look at 56 :).&nbsp; You, OTOH, look slim.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299675 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:13:25 +0000 Anonymous 2299675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the buttoned cardigan, but the length + the underbust seam bugs me. It gives it sort of a 50/50 ratio. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299642 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 15:22:34 +0000 Angie 2299642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best in #1!

Not unflattering at all, which is why it's good to get other people's opinions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299631 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 15:00:29 +0000 anne 2299631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to agree, Joy, although in an Australian context, the cardi will be too hot a lot of times, so it's rather limiting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299609 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 13:57:18 +0000 Anonymous 2299609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top best with the cardinals in #2. &nbsp;It emphasizes your small waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-top-hmm#post-2299603 Tue, 03 Jan 2023 13:41:51 +0000 anne 2299603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this top for the first time today , though I bought it last (Australian) summer.<br /> Wasn't feeling sure about the baring of skin though I thought OK when wearing.<br /> On seeing the photos I think it might be downright unflattering, emphasing my small bust/comparatively wide ribcage combo.<br /> The shorts are mid rise, and maybe the tops would look better on my high rise jeans.(I don't own and couldn't find high rise shorts)<br /> I wore the cardi because of supermarket air-conditioning<br /> Thoughts and suggestions welcome </p>
