I think it's the fly that I don't like - I wonder if you could turn it around so the zip goes up the back or side? Not sure if the cut of the skirt would allow for that though.</p> <p>The shape is stunning on you - if you can find a dressier skirt in this shape I think it would be a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-wear-piece-3---maxi-skirt#post-622134 Thu, 17 May 2012 14:53:28 +0000 Angie 622134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt at this length! But the pulling across the front cheapens the look - know what I mean, jellybean? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-wear-piece-3---maxi-skirt#post-621803 Thu, 17 May 2012 02:31:42 +0000 Tanya 621803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is quite snug indeed Angie, but I thought that is how mermaid skirts were supposed to fit. But if that is the case, maybe I shouldn't even bother altering it to midi, but just donate? I am trying to get rid of everything so-so I own, no matter how much I like the idea of an item.</p> <p>Yours is absolutely stunning Angie! Yes, I guessed that was what you were probably thinking of. I was just hoping that maybe I can make this one work. Wishful thinking, I assume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-wear-piece-3---maxi-skirt#post-621800 Thu, 17 May 2012 02:28:38 +0000 Angie 621800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Almost there :)</p> <p>It seems a little snug - no? That's the spandex component causing it to pull up, which is accentuated when you walk. Does that make sense? </p> <p>I was thinking more along the lines of something shiny - here's mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-wear-piece-3---maxi-skirt#post-621799 Thu, 17 May 2012 02:27:22 +0000 Tanya 621799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Kari! I was pretty much suspecting the same myself, but it is always good to double check. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-wear-piece-3---maxi-skirt#post-621795 Thu, 17 May 2012 02:25:52 +0000 Kari 621795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I think that between the casual fabrication and the zip fly, it's not dressy enough for cocktail wear. I really like the idea of this outfit, though, with a dressier fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-wear-piece-3---maxi-skirt#post-621788 Thu, 17 May 2012 02:21:43 +0000 Tanya 621788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I promise that this is my last post this evening on this topic Another item Angie has suggested for the cocktail wear capsule is a dressy maxi skirt. I have had this skirt for years and i think I wore it grand total of 2 times. I have kept it thinking it would be useful for exactly this type of situations, but am not sure if it is dressy enough. I love the shape, but the material is not-so-dressy; a cotton/rayon blend with some nice texture. I have tried dressing it up with with a sparkly little sweater and glitzy bracelet ( needs different shoes, obviously). Again, would this work, dressy enough? Unlike the other items I posted, this skirt has not other use, so if it does not work I would shorten it to a midi and wear in other settings. I have tried to include a photo of the texture but it did not turn out that well which I apologize for. I need a better camera at some point. </p>
