I usually look for skirts with zippers on the sides.. they are much more flattering </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-for-apple-shape#post-72566 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:27:33 +0000 shiny 72566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pencil skirts are tricky, but not impossible. Try places like ATL instead of AT, or juniors section instead of women's, because they will be cut for those with slimmer hips and you won't end up with excess fabric on the side where the hips are supposed to fill in. And definitely no pockets in the front! A wider waistband can work miracles, as can a lot of stretch. </p> <p>But I think the worst trouble is finding a denim skirt - the zipper in the front is a nightmare for apples because it'll just poof funny over the belly. Try denim skirts with no zipper detailing. </p> <p>My biggest problem with skirts is that the hem will hike up shorter in the front because my belly is bigger than my butt. :-(</p> <p>As hard as it is to find just the right pencil skirt, I do agree it is a great look for apples. </p> <p>Yublocka - I like A-lines too! </p> <p>Finally, if all else fails, go to the tailor. I haven't done this in recent years but I do know that a tailor can work miracles on skirts - as long as the waistband fits, they can take the sides in and even alter the hem so it appears even. I am on the hunt for pencil skirts this fall, and if all else fails, that is what I am planning to do. Pencil skirts are such classics, it is worth the extra money, if the fabric is nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-for-apple-shape#post-72561 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:14:44 +0000 yublocka 72561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm I am an apple and have never found pencil skirts work for me. I have always been an a-line girl. I could be off base here though!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-for-apple-shape#post-72480 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 01:14:05 +0000 Angie 72480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're after a bit of stretch in the waistline if possible and something quite sleek on the hips. Opt for a pencil skirt first or something bias cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-for-apple-shape#post-72456 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:46:54 +0000 Georgia 72456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of skirts work best for apples? </p>
