They are so flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1420029 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:52:07 +0000 anne 1420029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped, actually I &nbsp;do like that dancer look. I don't have of those type of tops at the moment but they are very suitable for my body type so I may well get one again - thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1419424 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 01:57:57 +0000 unfrumped 1419424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 is perfect.<br />If you have any boatneck or ballet neck tops, and elbow sleeve, those would look fab, too--widening the top silhouette a little. Like a dancer in a skirt. I can see they might be too hot for your mid-summer, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1419377 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:44:23 +0000 rachylou 1419377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is #2 as well. The top skims nicely, without flattening the skirt and the draping puts the waistline at the right place.</p> <p>I really like Angie's suggestion of a partial tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418688 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 18:16:04 +0000 Thistle 1418688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best without tucking or belting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418635 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 15:44:21 +0000 Angie 1418635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get the challenge with the waistband and tucking with this skirt.&nbsp;Have you tried a little side partial tuck?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418634 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 15:43:04 +0000 Anonymous 1418634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet read my mind. I was thinking just that about your proportions. I think you are long waisted too and #1 adds to that effect throwing the proportions off. I rather like, either a tucked look or a shorter top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418631 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 15:39:48 +0000 Janet 1418631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see why you couldn't belt and tuck -- you have a long waist. 5 looks good. On the contrary, 1 exaggerates the length of your torso and makes it appear your legs are short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418627 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 15:31:36 +0000 jackiec 1418627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure why you can't tuck - you have the teeny tiniest waist and it highlights that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418606 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 13:38:19 +0000 anne 1418606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gradfashionista - Thanks. I can't tuck because it would reveal that dreadful shirring! &nbsp;Plus it would be too hot!&nbsp;<span>I have decided to throw out the top in 3.<br /></span>that top cost me $5 about 8 years ago - I think it has done its dash. I agree that it is too long.</p> <p>Clara T - thanks. I looked up the Ella skirt and see what you mean - though in this case a top needs to be longer because, again of the shirring. I am keener on pencil skirts myself too - but in the hotter days of the Australian summer they are too hot.<br />Karie - Thanks. &nbsp;I like one best too - it is the most recent purchase too! I think I need to move away from such tight tops - that blue was was about $6 3 years ago &nbsp;so again, not a great loss to toss.<br />Dimity - thanks for remembering Angie's words! &nbsp;As for my feeling frumpy - yes - the problem is that the massive amount of gathers adds to my hips - and i have put on a wee bit of weight this last year and am already bigger there than I'd like. &nbsp;Also this skirt only cost me around $10 - I don't want to throw good money after bad with it. Perhaps I need to look for a gored or circle skirt to get the fullness necessary for hot weather without such hip breadth.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418524 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 03:12:36 +0000 Dimity 1418524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the column of white particularly; Angie said that would work and it does.&nbsp;My favourites are 2 and 4. I think the sleeves balance the skirt's fulness?But if we go back to when you wore this skirt in an earlier post and you said it felt frumpy, I think the most important thing is: do you feel good?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418507 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 02:50:22 +0000 Karie 1418507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute skirt! I like #1 the best, then #2. I think 3 and 4 would look better with a looser top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418496 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 02:33:05 +0000 ClaraT 1418496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Non-tucker (and mostly pencil skirt-wearer) here. I love the blue and white color combo, but I think what may seem a bit off to you is the very slim fit of the tee juxtaposed over the fuller skirt. This lengthens your torso/shortens your bottom half. Agree that a belt would help the transition zone. What I like better for myself is a shorter (non-cropped) slimish fit top--so the top stops just below the waistband of the skirt (preserving the proportions but without a tuck). The skirt is adorable. Hope this helps. Look up the Boden Ella Skirt (US site) for an example.

I actually really liked the silhouette in 5. My next favourite is 2, the white column works well. The proportions in 3 don't seem ideal, I think because the &nbsp;to/skirt&nbsp;line seems to divide your body in half, and the skirt hem then divides the skirt/leg into quarters. That wasn't a great explanation, but I can't quite put my finger on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-skirt-looks#post-1418418 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 00:03:48 +0000 anne 1418418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last slide shows why I can't belt or tuck.<br /> Are any any good? </p>
