Good job on the skirt. You could go narrower if you want. I've seen many woven skirts this wide but knits have more give. A very modern outfit that suits you. Who makes that lovely sweater?

Glad you like it. I have straightish hips, It's my stomach that's becoming a problem! I expect I'll be a puller downer BTW the sweater is from UK based Next from last year. They often have nice knitwear and do ship all over the world now.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392556 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:54:59 +0000 AJ 1392556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you made that skirt? Go Diane! I really like how you styled it with the sweater and boots. Where is that sweater from? I like the zip detail.</p> <p>LOL! I can picture your facial expressions and hear your adorable accent when you asked the bathroom question! I have straight hips, so I'm a puller upper, but no reason why you can't pull the skirt down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392452 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:18:58 +0000 Sal 1392452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow this is my favourite look on you. The mix of colour, texture and pattern is wonderful. Live the boots too. I agree a taper on the skirt will add the perfect final touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392446 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:12:28 +0000 Astrid 1392446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! Fantastic that you found a way to include stripes that feels like 'you'. I think tapering it just a little bit is a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392432 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:30:55 +0000 Carole 1392432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, you are one talented lady!

You could certainly pull it down then, like trousers.<br />Love the stripes on you. They're your colors and don't look sporty in the least IMO (that was your hang-up, right?). Gorgeous outfit, sweater, booties and your beautiful, smiling face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392398 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:54:48 +0000 Anonymous 1392398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I'm grateful for the suggestions for tweeking the skirt as I've never worn this style before. I have a question for tube skirt wearers too... when you.. ahem.. have to go to the bathroom, do you pull the skirt down, or up? I'm thinking if it's narrower I will have trouble getting it over my hips and bum if I pull it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392395 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:51:43 +0000 kellygirl 1392395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Fab outfit. The skirt and bootie proportions are perfect!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392393 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:50:32 +0000 Suz 1392393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore this on you, Diane. What a fantastic fabric. It has exactly the right colours for you and is so gently graduated -- it's a bit "Missoni" like, almost.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the skirt can be tapered a bit more. I would not make it shorter -- just more tapered. It it's knit, you'll be able to walk anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>The boots and sweater are the perfect partners!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392375 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:28:18 +0000 Debbie 1392375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an amazing outfit. You look great. I love the boots with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392373 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:26:19 +0000 Angie 1392373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*holding up the sky*</p> <p>LOVE. Welcome to Team Stripe. You look fably fashionable. You could probably taper the skirt a little more at the hem, if you like. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392363 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:19:46 +0000 Gail 1392363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the skirt&nbsp;looks really nice. I think being the the sweater is quite long I would like to see the skirt&nbsp;a little shorter, love the lace up&nbsp;boots. Just my opinion:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392350 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:55:34 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1392350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny, you are not only wearing stripes, but went through the entire process of making it yourself.. A stripe-phobe no more! &nbsp;<br />Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392336 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:40:56 +0000 texstyle 1392336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful skirt - you did amazing on this!&nbsp; These are also my kind of stripes - low contrast, multi-width - very pretty on you with the colors you chose and it looks fantastic with your booties too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-ensemble-in-which-the-sky-falls-down#post-1392313 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:55:41 +0000 Meredith 1392313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This step outside the comfort zone paid off! Glad you found a stripe that works for you, because you look great. I think the others have made good suggestions about tweaks to the skirt. I like the ruching idea! I think some tube skirts also taper in slightly, but I dont remember the body types that can wear that look. </p>
