I think it would be a good substitution at a much lower price. There is a lot of fabric around the mid-section on that skirt that may not be apple friendly. </p> <p>Of course, the only way to know for sure is to try it on. I've often been fooled by something I was sure would not work and did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-work-on-a-petite-apple#post-393782 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:59:28 +0000 Freckles 393782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you see one in a store stop and try it on by all means...</p> <p>I was convinced that a certain thing was a definite no when what to my surprise in certain situations it's a yes.</p> <p>All apples are shaped differently of course... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-work-on-a-petite-apple#post-393702 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 01:55:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 393702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah Freckles - made me laugh!

I finally had to give it up. </p> <p>For me, a pencil skirt with a top tucked in, esp with a jacket on top in the fall, works alot better. </p> <p>These are cute -<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/skirts/PRDOVR~47314/47314.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../47314.jsp</a></p> <p>The halogen seamed skirt is fantabulous<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-seamed-pencil-skirt/3093787?origin=category&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>The Ann Taylor ponte skirt is also pretty awesome<br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-Apparel/AT-Skirts/Ideal-Ponte-Pencil-Skirt/261208?colorExplode=false&#038;skuId=89945346&#038;catid=cata000016&#038;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&#038;defaultColor=6600" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/p.....Color=6600</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-work-on-a-petite-apple#post-393287 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:37:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 393287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this skirt from J Crew - I love the color for fall and think the high sculpted waist is interesting. Do you think this would work on a petite (5'1") apple shape? Might work for camoflauging my mid-section. Or would the volume/pleating be overwhelming? I'm picture it with a tucked in thin knit, tights and boots.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/NewArrivals/skirts/PRDOVR~47317/47317.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../47317.jsp</a> </p>
