Pic 1 and 2 are the same look, just different angles</p> <p>Karymk, just wondering why you think no tuck is best - is it because it hides the tummy more - which was definitely my concern with the whole outfit (no time to change this morning - or even check out how it looked in a full length mirror!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-trying-out-the-half-tuck#post-1175742 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 02:13:52 +0000 Anonymous 1175742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first and last views best.

I am thinking no tuck is best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-trying-out-the-half-tuck#post-1175712 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:48:11 +0000 anne 1175712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz and Deborah for the empathy and the compliments! I have now tried doing a loose tuck all round - see pic 5 above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-trying-out-the-half-tuck#post-1175667 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:05:01 +0000 Deborah 1175667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I do understand how you <b>feel </b>but trust me when I say no bloat is visible:)&nbsp; You always look so fit and toned.&nbsp; This is a great looking outfit.&nbsp; I might be inclined to completely the tuck the top but this does look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-trying-out-the-half-tuck#post-1175661 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:59:10 +0000 Suz 1175661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you look so fit and slender it is difficult to believe you are feeling bloated! I have worn a top in a similar way with my tube skirts -- and for the same reason. It works a little more easily with a knit. I actually think it IS flattering, at least the front view. I'm never completely sure about the side and back -- in this case, your top has a split that facilitates the half tuck. I have a sweater like that. And some days I like the effect and some days I don't.&nbsp;</p> <p>How sweet of Lynne to offer the bag! Looks great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-trying-out-the-half-tuck#post-1175653 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:47:56 +0000 anne 1175653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a bloaty day so went for this stretchy skirt. Didn't want to tuck but it's too long to be untucked. So trying the half tuck again. I don't think it's very flattering around the midsection but then today probably nothing would!</p> <p> And the bag was passed on to me by Lynne at our YLF meet up.</p> <p>Eta. Pic 4 is untucked and 5 tucked in a loose blousoned way since tighter tucking would need a belt which isn't the thing on bloated days </p>
