I think they'll be perfect. I'll try to get a photo tomorrow. Thanks for sharing a photo of what to look for.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586440 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 19:21:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1586440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, does the long beaded necklace have a clasp? If so, I was thinking you could undo it and wrap the necklace several times to make it shorter. <br />Or pick up something inexpensive and sparkly, like this, perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586422 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 18:08:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1586422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Won't ship to my destination"&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; Oh well, was worth a shot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586420 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 18:01:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1586420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bonnie, I think that length will be perfect for me :).&nbsp; I have the same thing going on with me and button downs... the proportions are off more often than they are on.&nbsp; Longer tops are definitely better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586382 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 15:36:15 +0000 Bonnie 1586382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann - Mom's sewing room sounds wonderful. Suz and others - I kind of like the funkiness of the longer hem even though I think I look better in the shorter length - what to do? TraceyLiz65 - I used to love button downs and when I started taking photos, I realized that they were not my friends - tunics look so much better on my body. alaskagirl, Alasse, Isabel, Debbie, unfrumped, Missey, Brooklyn, Summer, Coco C, and shevia - thank you for your kind comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586380 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 15:23:20 +0000 Bonnie 1586380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elisabeth P - the tunics are about 34" long in front. lyn67 - the fabric is a lightweight crinkly cotton. Joyce B - I'm surprised about liking the red, too. I've stayed away from strong colors but remembered that Angie's advice not to be afraid of color so I gave it a try. Firecracker, Colette, Angie - My accessory capsule is very small and this was the best I could do but I will be looking for something before the parties start - any suggestions?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586355 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 14:28:04 +0000 Joyce B 1586355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both on you and I am amazed at how fab the red one is with your coloring. You wear full color tones very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586350 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 14:15:12 +0000 lyn67 1586350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both gorgeous! Love them as they are a feminine cut, streamlined and so flattering, fabric is lightweisht looking, so guess it's rather a faux flanel, isn't it! YLF, Bonnie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586347 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 13:52:13 +0000 Elizabeth P 1586347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, is there any chance you can measure the length of the tunic in the front?&nbsp; I'm thinking one of these could be just the thing for my blue velvet leggings.&nbsp; </p> <p>TIA! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid/page/2#post-1586267 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 03:32:51 +0000 Elizabeth P 1586267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great tunics! I prefer it with the back a bit shorter I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1586262 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 03:14:44 +0000 Jaime 1586262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1586087 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 16:55:50 +0000 Cococat 1586087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great tunics! You look fab Bonnie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1586039 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 15:31:36 +0000 Angie 1586039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute. I like the red even better than the blue. More festive somehow.&nbsp;</p> <p>A little more bling around the neck will work too. Match your lovely, sparkly eyes, Bonnie.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1586004 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 12:08:07 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1586004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love these tunics so much better than button up tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1586003 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 12:07:41 +0000 Summer 1586003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look wonderful on you, Bonnie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585992 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 09:47:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1585992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so gorgeous.

It has been on my wish list for a while. You may have pushed me over the edge. I love this on you. What a great piece for Holiday party piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585926 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 02:54:25 +0000 Colette 1585926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both very pretty on you. I like Firecracker's idea of adding sparkle closer to your face for a dressier look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585921 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 02:41:29 +0000 abc 1585921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yes. I see the diff pic now and I, too, prefer it without the exaggerated back hem. Good luck on the alteration. Keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585913 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 02:18:12 +0000 Suz 1585913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in both of these, Bonnie! Amazing colours on you and so fun that you could recreate Angie's post on the very day she made it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like it better with the less exaggerated hi-low hem. I would probably alter it to look like that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585895 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 01:32:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1585895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely way to wear plaid. I like the lightweight fabrication.&nbsp; Since I like fabric to drape rather than insulate (I run warm), these appeal to me.&nbsp; Very flattering and practical.&nbsp; The red says Christmas to me; but the blue will be cheery on grey Winter days, and in early Spring.</p> <p>I note that you folded up the back hem.&nbsp; I like it better that way (although the hi/lo works, too). You could always alter the hem, if you wish.&nbsp; Of course......alterations can be a pain!&nbsp; I always do mine at my mother's house, since she has a cute little sewing room, and is using cooking for my family while I sew!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585841 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 22:15:30 +0000 Isabel 1585841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, those are just beautiful ! &nbsp;You look amazing .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585834 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 21:37:01 +0000 shedev 1585834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both tunics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585825 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 21:09:51 +0000 Bonnie 1585825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>abc - I just realized that I posted the wrong photo so I have changed it to show the longer back. I am almost 5 ft 5 and am pretty sure that this is the regular length. It's a lightweight cotton and because of the color and design, it should not be difficult to hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585823 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 21:01:16 +0000 abc 1585823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with the longer hem in back because of proportions. &nbsp;I'm 5 ft 5 inches but I find sometimes with the longer back it throws off the proportion, making me look stumpy-legged. &nbsp;In the pic you just posted I don't really see that much of the back, though, so you're probably ok. &nbsp;And if it can be hemmed easily that makes me lean toward maybe trying it out. &nbsp;Thanks for your reply and really it is a beautiful piece (as is the blue as well!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585820 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 20:58:56 +0000 Bonnie 1585820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does have a high low hem and I'll be wearing it that way but for the photo, I tucked it up in back - is that wrong? I wear a S or M and both of these tops are M and I probably could go down a size but DH and the SA assured me that this size worked. (abc, I've added a photo of the tunic with the original hem.) &nbsp;What do you think - does it look better without the long back? I like it long in back but I could easily alter it to look as it does in the first photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/party-plaid#post-1585817 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 20:50:32 +0000 catgirl 1585817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only the red is available in petite.&nbsp; Call customer service! </p>
