The peplum top looks great though - hope it works well with other bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peplum-petite-proportion-problems-purple-preferrable#post-1016357 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 00:34:43 +0000 Suz 1016357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun, Mo!&nbsp;</p> <p>That peplum is just the wrong shape with the wrong detail, but the purple works, and you can also 'faux" semi tuck tops with these skirts. A lot of fabrics will just sort of stick to them wherever you fold them. Asymmetrical hems work great, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peplum-petite-proportion-problems-purple-preferrable#post-1016322 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 00:03:11 +0000 catgirl 1016322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this would work better visually if there were sleeves to balance the peplum a bit, even short sleeves, KWIM?&nbsp; I'm trying to picture it that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peplum-petite-proportion-problems-purple-preferrable#post-1016235 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 22:11:46 +0000 Mo 1016235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks Diana. &nbsp;I am going with the purple, although part of me wonder if it's 'sexy secretary' with the slingbacks. &nbsp;I know, I have a real issue there with anything remotely officey, lol. &nbsp;<br />I am bringing my olive drapey tee and olive gladiators so I can always switch out and dress it way down if I want. &nbsp;<br />In the future I may use the half tuck to solve the shirt length issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peplum-petite-proportion-problems-purple-preferrable#post-1016230 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 22:04:35 +0000 Diana 1016230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a similar problem with this shape of top with the tube skirt.&nbsp; I think it's because the curve of the hem goes right around the widest part of the hips so it emphasizes them.&nbsp; With your top, the white bit also adds the illusion of width.&nbsp; The top I'm wearing today is also longer in back, but it is straight in front so it avoids drawing a circle right there, if that makes any sense. The other thing that worked at this length for me was a top with a diagonal hem.&nbsp; Just anything other than a circular shape.&nbsp; </p> <p>I like the purple top with it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peplum-petite-proportion-problems-purple-preferrable#post-1016227 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:58:56 +0000 Mo 1016227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was excited to try a black and white combo with my VC stripe skirt. &nbsp;Didn't work out quite as I'd planned. &nbsp;I think the peplum-esque top hits too low? &nbsp;Makes me go back to when I thought I was a pear years ago. &nbsp;<br />Purple silk is the other choice. &nbsp;I'll likely wear my matching suede slingbacks. &nbsp;Going to Reno and out to dinner with the girls. &nbsp;Fancier than normal outings but not 'fancy' fancy lol. &nbsp;Rib cook off tomorrow.<br />If neither of these does the trick, do you have any other ideas for the skirt? &nbsp;Thanks! &nbsp;(leaving in one hour)&nbsp; </p>
