The editors didn't work on me either. They were also tight in the thighs.</p> <p>The loft Julia's seem to fit. I have some on order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1069262 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 01:47:10 +0000 Parsley 1069262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing so hard at your post title! I couldn't help but think, "Um, as opposed to the usual stark naked posts???"<br />I love the cheerful colors of your cardigan and tee. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes sews pockets shut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1069255 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 01:40:05 +0000 Sveta 1069255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I ALWAYS sew shut the front side&nbsp;pockets, otherwise they do to me what they do to you and I cannot stand it!&nbsp;If I don't buy pants becasue of the pocket issue I would be pant-less and like Suz had to live in my PJs :-)<br />Have you tried Express Editors? We have similar curves and they fit me great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1069250 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 01:36:47 +0000 Diana 1069250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, you know what, Amy? I just checked my new martins and realized I never cut the pockets open on them, so maybe that's why I didn't have the problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1069248 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 01:34:22 +0000 Amy 1069248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, suz. I bet you look stylish in your pjs too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1069180 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 00:55:10 +0000 Suz 1069180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I confess it. I could not look at this post all day -- because I wasn't!! I mean, fully clothed. Yes, it was one of those dreaded stay-in-the-PJs work-at-home days. Until I put on workout gear, which I'm still wearing.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>You, </b>on the other hand, look great!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1069170 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 00:52:23 +0000 Anonymous 1069170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My martins came with the pockets sewn up, and I thought, hey, I like pockets! But after wearing them once, those babies are going to be sewn up again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1069151 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 00:44:28 +0000 Day Vies 1069151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can have the pockets sewn shut -- (I'm trying to save the martin's!) I LOVE this sweater! I also love that you paired it with a gold tee. The colors are just intensified. Marking as a favorite -- Divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068916 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 21:50:21 +0000 AviaMariah 1068916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have that same issue with pants. I love the sweater and the bright colors are perfect for a meh day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068705 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:40:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1068705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that Anthro sweater on you Amy - so pretty. I have trouble with that type of side pocket too from time to time and will stitch it shut and I've even taken them to my seamstress to have the pocket removed entirely and then sew it shut. Then I don't get any additional fabric bulk at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068695 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:34:07 +0000 Amy 1068695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies.</p> <p>Angie, the Sloans look REALLY bad on me. They are just too snug across the thighs...and bum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068694 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:34:02 +0000 kellygirl 1068694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you. The top half sweeps the eye up and is so flattering on you that I didn't even notice the pockets until I read your text. Just sew those bad boys shut and you have yourself a great feel good FFBO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068669 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:15:01 +0000 AndiB 1068669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wear any brand of pant or trouser that has a slash pocket for the same reason. &nbsp;they always buckle out and look ... .not good. &nbsp;I've had the pockets sewn down and that makes the fit really smooth, so if you really like the pants otherwise, try that. &nbsp;I generally have learned to&nbsp;just&nbsp;steer away from side slash pocket pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068666 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:12:03 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1068666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could say you are wrong, but I think you are right. The pockets do flare a bit. The cardigan though is GREAT. What a beautiful pattern. And what a lovely face you have to compliment it.<br />Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068665 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:11:31 +0000 Debra 1068665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy........you look beautiful. That jumper is stunning, I love how you picked a colour for the accent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068652 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:47:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1068652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Laughing at your title!) I love this outfit. You do "fully clothed" beautifully--ha ha! I like the proportion of cardigan and pants, love the print and how it picks up the gray tone from the pants, and that pop of bright citron that lights up the outfit. Those colors are gorgeous on you. Hope you get some relaxing down-time soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068649 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:42:35 +0000 Angie 1068649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look as vibrant and pretty as a beautiful wild bird. Glad you could sleep in.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you tried the flared Sloans?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068621 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:19:06 +0000 Anonymous 1068621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've sewn pockets like that closed too, I also sew white jean pockets and cut the pocket out so it won't show thru. At least you're dressed!&nbsp; and with those fabulous colors and your bright face nobody will notice your pockets.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068607 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:13:38 +0000 pil 1068607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Amy, you don't look dumpy in the least. Though I do understand not feeling your best in something. I'm enjoying your WIWs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068570 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 16:36:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1068570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy:</p> <p>I love the sweater -- such a great way to up the wow on a FFBO!&nbsp; As for the Martins, I have difficulties with pants pockets, too.&nbsp; Do you have a "high hip?"&nbsp; When sewing, I learned to use a "French curve" device to move the hip angle a little higher.&nbsp; I like to think of myself as having "French hips."&nbsp; Somehow it seems more regal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068522 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:50:48 +0000 Jules 1068522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was going to say the same about stitching them up. Actually I did something very silly last year and UNstitched some tapered men's wear style pants that are (were) perfect. For some reason I thought, pockets, I should use those! Quickly realized it was a mistake and the only time I really "use" the pockets is for... <i>posing in the mirror aka pretending that&nbsp;I'm taking ylf photos</i>! So embarrassing to admit that :)<br />So yeah. I have a similar figure and&nbsp;pocket stitching can make a big difference.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068519 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:44:38 +0000 Neel 1068519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh ........ I have this problem with some of my formal pants. &nbsp;Now I know how to fix that! &nbsp;Thanks ladies!!</p> <p>Amy I love the mix of colors on you!! &nbsp;You are another lady who I know who can mix colours very well! &nbsp;You rock! &nbsp;Sometimes *fully clothed* is all we need </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068511 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:35:15 +0000 Amy 1068511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an easy enough fix. Thanks, ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068508 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:34:04 +0000 Diana 1068508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pockets on my Martins are fine, but I have other pants that do this.&nbsp; It usually works to just sew them closed.&nbsp; Sometimes sewing them only partially closed is good enough (depending on where they're puckering.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068507 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:33:07 +0000 Anonymous 1068507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I have noticed that with mine. I am going to stitch them shut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-103013---fully-clothed#post-1068506 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:32:01 +0000 Amy 1068506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I slept in this morning. I'm exhausted from a grueling work week. Some days, you have to be content with making it out the door with a shirt on.</p> <p>Sweater: Anthropologie<br />T-shirt: Merona<br />Trousers: Martins from BR</p> <p>I believe I've figured out why the Martins make me feel dumpy. They look great on other people. The problem, for me, is the pockets. They're positioned right where my hip bones jut out and cause the pockets to flare outward making me look even broader in that area.</p> <p>Just great. Another "issue" to add to my very long list of pant shopping criteria.</p>
