No dumpiness in sight. The jeans just need a bit of hacking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845834 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:58:25 +0000 Marilyn 1845834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this!&nbsp; Nice casual outfit.</p> <p>As everyone else has said, just shorten the jeans a bit.&nbsp; Follow the shape that is already there with the scissors then throw them in the wash to fray.&nbsp; You can also use a fabric pencil to draw the cut lines first if you are nervous about going at them with scissors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845807 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 21:26:33 +0000 Gigi 1845807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not dumpy. Dumpiness to me is usually caused by ill-fitting clothing, but all the pieces you are wearing seem to be spot-on for fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845707 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:47:54 +0000 Angie 1845707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SWEET, Sis, and glad it was inspired by YLF. My toes are tickled.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845691 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 13:32:32 +0000 Diana 1845691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think the fit looks great! Agree with Angie that shortening a little is probably better and definitely more versatile. I think this length would be better with a sandal or something that shows a little skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845686 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 13:27:30 +0000 K.M. 1845686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the above comments. Fit-wise they look very flattering on your body, but the length seems off. To my eyes it should be either shorter, showing some ankle, or longer (as in intentionally full-length). But I don't think you look dumpy on this pic by any means--you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845682 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 13:23:56 +0000 Scarlet 1845682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>EmilyK</b>, yes, good reminder to experiment with pinning. The raw, uneven hems confuse me because they just invite one to go wild with the scissors. Hack first, think second. Perhaps that's why I haven't modified the length yet. I am still ruminating over my Paige Huxtons too.</p> <p><b>Jenni</b>, I love full-length jeans, but with flats I feel better when I wear a leg with less volume.</p> <p><b>Skylurker</b>, alas the summer goes on and on here. I am finally getting the picture that I need six months of warm weather clothing as opposed to two. But thanks for the jeans appreciation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845677 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 13:15:19 +0000 skylurker 1845677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super cute in your hat. Jeans are flattering enough to me, and practical at that length for Fall because you can wear socks and the hems won't drag on the floor - don't know about you and your climate, but cropped jeans are summer only items for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845666 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:43:38 +0000 Anonymous 1845666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look like they fit you well And your outfit is great! Love the tshirt and hat!<br /> As others have mentioned, this style would look a bit better cropped a little higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845659 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 12:22:21 +0000 Jane 1845659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look and the hat is perfect. Great to have a family day and much better than bills! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845639 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 06:18:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 1845639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Scarlet. I thought I heard full-length jeans were coming back, myself ( right here!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845623 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 03:28:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1845623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the whole casual vibe of this outfit, Scarlet. I'd follow Angie's suggestions on length, but otherwise, what a fun and current look. Perfect for your outing at the harbor. I love that tee, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845583 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 00:58:00 +0000 Emily K 1845583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I like crops, right? &nbsp;I'd just chop off a couple more inches. &nbsp;Everything else is super cute! &nbsp;</p> <p>Using the product model as a guide, I'd pin or take a fold somewhere higher on the leg to see how many inches I need to reduce to get a length similar to that shown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845568 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 00:05:10 +0000 Scarlet 1845568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Mary</b>, thank you so much.</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, a couple inches above the ankle? Also, I saw the Cancer tee on your finds and loved it, but my pocket book is closed at the moment. My sister surprised me with it as a gift last week! And a lady today loved it and asked me where I got it, which is all you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845561 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 23:59:14 +0000 Angie 1845561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants need to be shortened - that's all. SUPER CUTE, and HIGH FVE fellow Cancerian. Fun that you had a fab day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845560 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 23:59:00 +0000 MsMary 1845560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look completely adorable! You could hack the jeans more if you wanted to, but I think you look like a fab mom on the go just as you are! Love the &nbsp;hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-flattering-enough#post-1845558 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 23:55:15 +0000 Scarlet 1845558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear YLF,</p> <p>I had a lovely day today. Instead of suffering through bills and catching up on work, which would have been the alternate plan, I went to the harbor to watch boat races with my sweet children and their grandparents. I am redeveloping my relationship to pants, and these ones are high-rise Madewells with a slight bootleg and hacked hems. I never shortened them from the original length, although I am petite. It was recommended to me by YLF at the time of purchase to go a size smaller, but it wasn't possible because I had already washed them. Looking in the mirror I felt just flattering enough (JFE) this morning, but this photo makes me feel dumpy. Is there someway I can tweak this? Is it hopeless? Or am I being too critical?</p> <p>**as a general problem with fitting jeans at the moment, I feel I am making a trade-off with sizing to my relatively wide-set hips, versus my relatively slim butt and thighs </p>
