I got a regular S and that hits just below the knee on me. Not bodycon in terms of how this fits on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-996864 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 02:47:18 +0000 elpgal 996864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got an M which was comfortable but too body con for me (this was from the pre-NAS batch) so Sona is the proud owner now.&nbsp; Maybe I'll try them in a larger size this time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-996851 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 02:24:48 +0000 Suz 996851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what the lengths are, Pil. I had to have mine hemmed. I could have just cut it, but I was thinking I'd take it up at the waist instead, so I brought it to the seamstress. And then she wanted to shorten from the bottom after all. So I told her to go ahead.&nbsp; I'm 5'4" too.&nbsp;</p> <p>A person <b>COULD</b> get away with just rolling the waistband a few times. I did that, in fact, at first. If you are wearing loose tops over, it wouldn't really matter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-996846 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 02:16:13 +0000 pil 996846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone know what the difference in length is between regular and petite on these? According to the website they sound like they are the same. I online chatted with a customer service rep who thought they were the same too.</p> <p>I'm 5'4, which is right at the petite/regular cutoff. I saw that Suz's regular was a little long on her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-977449 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:07:05 +0000 kellygirl 977449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the small regular. I still need to do a K/R on it but I think the fit and length&nbsp;is just right.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-977403 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:43:24 +0000 catherine 977403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is a small.&nbsp; I normally take a 4, and I think this is a little bit loose.&nbsp; XS may have worked, too.&nbsp; I would say it is a generous fit, and more comfortable than sweat pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-977348 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:41:11 +0000 nancylee 977348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a Small regular in the VC midi skirt, Sarah, which is pretty normal for me since&nbsp;I'm usually a 4 in skirts. &nbsp;The waist was a little big on one of them so I had it taken in an inch. &nbsp;And&nbsp;I'm barely a half inch taller than you and Suz, but I kept the hem as is since my legs are on the longer side.</p> <p>I agree that it's booty hugging...but not booty <i>clinging</i>. &nbsp;I don't feel too revealed in it and my undies don't show. &nbsp;Still, it's a skirt for loose tops and not for tucking. &nbsp;I really love mine...hope you can find a size that works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-977055 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:19:34 +0000 Makrame 977055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I debated this as well (between S, which was very body-con but looked pretty good, and M, which I was worried would be too baggy). &nbsp;I went with M in the end and am glad I did - it feels very loose and comfortable but not so loose as to be shapeless. &nbsp;As far as the belly - I find that I cannot wear regular knit tops with this skirt, they have to be either loose woven shirts or very swingy&nbsp;t-shirts, like the ones from Shopbop that nancylee found (&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shopbop.com/relaxed-high-low-tee-three/vp/v=1/1552666008.htm?folderID=2534374302170418&amp;fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=29105">http://www.shopbop.com/relaxed.....18&#038;fm</a>&nbsp;). &nbsp;If worn with&nbsp;knit t-shirts, the skirt seems to accentuate my apple-ness. </p> <p>As a matter of fact, I have been looking for more loose woven short-sleeved tops lately so that I can wear these skirts more often.</p> <p>Also, as a side note, I bought 2 skirts at 2 different times for $25 - the older colors seem to go on sale quite often when they are replaced by newer colors and patterns.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-977016 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:01:24 +0000 MNsara 977016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sized up and had the waist taken in.&nbsp; I found mine at the Rack as an Altered/Refinished so don't know what might have changed on it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the width.&nbsp;</p> <p> I compared&nbsp;it to my&nbsp;expected size at the regular store and was too self conscious to wear - especially if my backside is turned towards a classroom with arm up to write on the white board -- just sayin'&nbsp; ;-)</p> <p>I'm enjoying the loose fit because it's very 'fluid', and it makes a great shorts alternative for summer casual.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>and the hems are raw edges, so if it's a little too long, you're handy and confident with a scissors, right</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-976990 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:48:07 +0000 Suz 976990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the xs regular (and had to hem). It's loose on the waist and snug on the bum, but not too snug. And it doesn't seem to matter that the waist is loose, since I always cover it up somehow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-976908 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:07:02 +0000 Eliza 976908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet- did you get them at Nordstrom? &nbsp;On the website they are now 2 for $79, as opposed to $69 each. &nbsp;I wonder if that special is applicable to your purchase- it could eliminate the which one to keep question.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-976904 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:02:30 +0000 Janet 976904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried (and bought) this skirt too -- in the solid black and the black and grey stripe to try out. I stuck with my expected size (medium). It's a little body con but seems to not cling on bulges and bumps, so I think it should be fine. It's a nice substantial fabric and very comfy. Now I just need to figure out styling (although I see Angie's helpful post on that today), and which one I should keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-976896 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:54:32 +0000 sarah 976896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Angie, thanks for replying. I know how busy you are. OK, I'll try them on again when I'm having a better body image day ; ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-976890 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:49:36 +0000 Angie 976890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of my clients are sizing down in this skirt! Not up.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/vince-camuto-midi-tube-skirt-2-for-79/3275630?cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-PMZNkR.t6dZteGdd2UFhsA" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/vi.....;cm_cat=pa</a><b></b></p> <p>Wear a big top over it, Sarah.

I anticipate hemming them, regardless... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-976838 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:21:52 +0000 Thistle 976838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I think tube skirts just tend to be more body con, hence the long fluid top.</p> <p>I would try the petite M as if you go witht he regular, you will get more length, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-in-the-vc-tube-skirt#post-976829 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:13:18 +0000 sarah 976829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All, I know Angie is extremely busy, so I thought I'd ask you all - how have you found sizing in the VC tube skirt that Angie mentioned in her post today? I have just received petite smalls in the mail, but I find them VERY body con - hugging my behind, and accentuating my belly. I'm wondering if I should try Petite M, or go to regular sizing and try the S.</p> <p>Any experience with this?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
