The pockets do poof. Can they be sewn shut and look smooth? I think that will be the deciding factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pears-in-pencils#post-26701 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:59:06 +0000 Nicole 26701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. It's a keeper. I love grey pinstripe, BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pears-in-pencils#post-26695 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 05:05:36 +0000 Angie 26695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto!

I shopped AT and ATL today to see what they had for my pear shaped body. At At, I found 2 that I liked - a dark subtle patterned navy and a black pencil. Both would have to be altered at the waist. I put both on hold. Below is a link to the black, but unfortunately, patterned navy is not on the web.<br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=16177&#038;No=16&#038;pCategoryId=195&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_2579&#038;N=1200303&#038;Nty=1&#038;categoryId=2579&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Black&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses#ATLtop" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....ses#ATLtop</a></p> <p>Then I went to the Loft. There I found a grey pencil skirt that I ended up buying. I don't like the pockets, but since I have to alter the waist anyway, I thought what the heck I can sew the pockets shut. So I allowed the sales person to convince me to buy it. It helped that it had a pretty great sale price.</p> <p>Now I'm thinking of returning it and getting one of the Ann Taylor skirts. Here are two pictures of me in the grey skirt. In the side shot, I am pulling the waist tight to see what it would look like altered. What are your thoughts?</p> <p><a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0187.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0187.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0188.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0188.jpg</a> </p>
