I find it hard to see the details...I am wondering if your new shape is driving a more structured look, and these drapier looks aren't working as well because you don't have the same real estate to show them to their best advantage. Your new shape highlights a different look. This outfit isn't bad, but I see the fit issues you have highlighted.</p> <p>It must be so frustrating that previously loved workhorses are being recalcitrant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6-m---total-outfit-fail#post-1051939 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:15:55 +0000 K. Period. 1051939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, I don't think they are awful--I just can't see them well enough to distinguish what is working or not. &nbsp;We can neither confirm nor deny..... &nbsp;That bathroom of doom is really a cave, isn't it?&nbsp;</p> <p>On the tailoring front. Sigh. On the tailoring front...I agree with your gut feeling on it. &nbsp;I have never had any luck with a significant re-tailoring. A little is fine. You've lost so much weight and your shape has changed so significantly, though,&nbsp;I don't know that tailoring will work. It would be more like recutting your clothes. &nbsp;Sometimes I feel like it is better to let something you love that was fantastic go on to a better home than to try to salvage (and potentially ruin)&nbsp;it. &nbsp;Such a bummer to lose old faves, though.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6-m---total-outfit-fail#post-1051931 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:08:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1051931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't comment because I actually liked it without the jacket but you seemed to totally not.&nbsp; I think there is too much going on with the jacket too though.&nbsp; You are quite slim now so you can wear looser fits and still look slim and fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6-m---total-outfit-fail#post-1051924 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:03:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1051924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants seem to be an issue, but I'm not sure that the tunic wouldn't work over sleeker leggings.&nbsp; Just focus on the fact that you look terrific -- strong and fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-6-m---total-outfit-fail#post-1051923 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:03:18 +0000 ironkurtin 1051923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm.

I managed to get somewhere with my summer stuff, but now that I'm pulling out "fall" things (in quotes because in Austin fall is mid 80s to low 70s) I am running up against more old faithfuls that no longer fit. :/</p> <p>Pics 1 and 2 are the same, 1 just has a coat on.</p> <p>Pic 1:<br /> - Vintage black Helmut Lang cotton coat (eBay)</p> <p>Pic 2:<br /> - Roque by Ilaria Nistri gray cowl-neck dress (yoox)<br /> - Herff-Christiansen tank under (sample sale)<br /> - Rag and Bone vintage silk-blend skinny jeans (eBay)<br /> - Vera Wang Lavender moto boots (eBay)</p> <p>The top is both clingy and shapeless, and the pant waist is slipping and giving me a fabric gut. Wearing a belt with the jeans won't work in this case because it would bulge. So if I keep the too I think maybe leggings next time.</p> <p>I feel like this was close but no cigar. </p>
