And I adore your dress in #6 - it's the perfect summer dress.</p> <p>I love the skirt in your first outfit but I'm a little unsure of the top with it - but I am not good with volume on volume so take that with a grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015689 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 12:33:39 +0000 amiable 1015689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne - it's fine - but I chose a really heavy-weight high quality men's shirt to use. &nbsp;I do think the weight of the fabric has to be heavy enough for a "top" to become a "bottom". &nbsp;In fabric stores, I see fabric separated this way - "bottom weights" are definitely heavier. &nbsp;I had that in mind when I decided to cut up the shirt, and I suspect that's why it worked pretty well.</p> <p>It does wrinkle like anything though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015539 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 04:42:50 +0000 anne 1015539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE LOVE no 6.</p> <p>I am interested in your shirt-turned-skirt.<br />I made a skirt in similar fabric and then regretted that I had done so, as it was so thin it didn't have enough structure. How is yours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015538 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 04:40:32 +0000 sweetpotato 1015538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt &amp; boots in the first picture.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015532 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 04:34:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1015532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots with that first skirt. Great look on you. I also really like the sack dress with the flats. Fun skirt from a shirt, too! And you look terrific in those long bermudas. Good job of dressing in the heat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015490 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 03:27:56 +0000 amiable 1015490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - a slim pencil skirt is a definite hole in my wardrobe! &nbsp;I've never found one that fits (they always seem to be made for people with a waist). &nbsp;I should really just sew one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015295 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:18:35 +0000 Deborah 1015295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I particularly like #1 here.&nbsp; It is perhaps not conventionally flattering but I find it interesting an attractive.&nbsp; I adore that top :)&nbsp; Have you conisidered trying the topper with&nbsp;a slimline pencil skirt as a dressy alternative? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015204 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 22:25:54 +0000 Suz 1015204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are getting some wear from #6. #1 is fun! Definitely a hint of tomboy there with the boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015202 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 22:22:33 +0000 Elly 1015202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoy the fit of 6 on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015119 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:02:51 +0000 lyn* 1015119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirts with the boots look work nicely for your style esthetic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015117 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:59:20 +0000 texstyle 1015117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 but the top seems like it would bug me - do you mind the way the neckline is so drapey? (I'm wondering about bra strap issues). And what a great rework on the man's shirt in #7 - that is really fun and it looks great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015047 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:13:24 +0000 cobaltblue 1015047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-3 look great, and you look amazing in 6! I'm always trying to make new things out of old men's dress shirts, and they always turn out looking like I made them out of old men's dress shirts! </p> <p>I think you're looking very Adorable Tomboy in addition to Happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-tomboy-in-a-skirt#post-1015020 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:19:46 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1015020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you kept you tomboy part with the boots.
