Definitely keep, just a matter of deciding which size you'd prefer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966835 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 23:58:18 +0000 nancylee 966835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said (basically!). &nbsp;I own two of these skirts as well and I LOVE them. &nbsp;They hold up so well, don't stretch out much, and wash up easily. &nbsp;</p> <p>Mine are both Small and I normally wear a 4 or 6 if that's any help. &nbsp;My advice is to go with the bigger size if you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable with the body con-ness of the smaller size. &nbsp;You could always have the waist taken in a bit if it's a little too big as long as the rest of the skirt fits well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966790 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:50:54 +0000 Parsley 966790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't tell much difference&nbsp;from the pictures, but with mine the deciding factor was the side view and the amount of derriere "cupping".<br />If you're planning to wear it for work I'd probably go with less body-con.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966783 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:35:36 +0000 Anonymous 966783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great advice. I love this skirt on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966777 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:22:33 +0000 Suz 966777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two of these skirts -- not the striped (but I <b>LOVE</b> the striped!) -- mine are from last year and are navy and cobalt. Both are xs but I found the cobalt one is a bit more snug than the navy, for unknown reasons. They fit quite body con on me through the hip/ rear,&nbsp;although the waist of the navy one is a&nbsp;bit loose. </p> <p>But they do not ride up or down, they do not shift around when I walk, they do not bag out,&nbsp;and in short, they do not bother me at all. I love wearing them. They are easy to dress up, easy to dress down, easy to pack, and comfortable to walk in, despite being narrow midis.&nbsp;The fabric snaps back pretty well, with some minor wrinkling in the knee area because I am such a strider.&nbsp;They are not too hot, and yet I don't freeze when I am wearing one in air con, either. In short, they are the perfect summer skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both of these sizes look good on you. Take the one that feels best, and wear, wear, wear!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966764 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:40:28 +0000 Makrame 966764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, that's a really good point - I guess I need to wear it around the house with the tags on to figure out whether slides down or rides up over time.</p> <p>The good news is, these skirts are only $25 on sale now so I can afford to hold on to both until I can make a decision.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966746 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:57:29 +0000 Anonymous 966746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does one of them have a waist that hits you at a preferred spot? I sized up in an Old navy skirt like this to get a little extra ease and length but then found the waist so large that I could only wear it on my hips.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966739 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:45:39 +0000 Astrid 966739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see much difference, but I think I would go with the larger size for comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966723 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:24:10 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 966723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't tell the difference except the length...&nbsp; Ceit is right, unless you think this is a skirt that will stretch out as you wear it, and get baggy in the behind.&nbsp;&nbsp; In which case, I say get the small </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966717 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:21:11 +0000 Anonymous 966717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say the larger - if it shrinks a little in the wash you will still be ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966714 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:19:37 +0000 Inge 966714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura has a good point. I think the larger size looks slightly more relaxed from the back, which I like. It's a great skirt, love the stripes on you, and it looks lovely with the denim shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966124 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 03:05:51 +0000 Diana 966124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly they look the same to me so I'd go with the more comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966118 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 03:00:42 +0000 Makrame 966118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that's the trouble - they don't look much different, just feel a bit different.</p> <p>It's a soft knit fabric, which is probably why they look almost the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966114 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:56:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 966114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's the fabrication? If it's something like cotton that's apt to shrink when washed, I'd go with the larger size. It's really hard to tell the difference in the photos, honestly, so I'd go with the one that you feel more comfortable in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966113 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:55:40 +0000 cinnamon fern 966113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say, they really do not look much different to me. &nbsp;The small is slightlly shorter, I think? &nbsp;I prefer it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vc-midi-skirt---size-up-or-down-pics-included#post-966096 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:43:22 +0000 Makrame 966096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this Angie-recommended midi skirt in two sizes (S and M). &nbsp;I love it,&nbsp;it is extremely comfortable, but I cannot figure out which size to keep. S (#1) is a perfect fit and pretty body-con, M (#2) is a bit looser fit. &nbsp;Anyone else who owns this skirt, how did you decide on the fit/size? </p>
