Lands End has recently expanded their line of plus size clothing. I buy my husband's tee shirts there, so I thought I would try a piece or two.

Pic 1. Ponte knit pencil skirt. It is quite comfy and the material seems nice. It is not lined, so I will need to wear a slip with it. I like everything about it, except the length. I am not sure this is a good length on me.

Pic 2. I pulled the skirt up quite high to see what it would look like more at the knee. This seems like a better length, but I cannot sew. I do not know a seamstress, and while I would like to find one, not sure a LE skirt would be worth the cost of alterations.

Pic 3. A dress I absolutely loved in the catalogue. I think this needs to go back. The dress has pockets RIGHT at the point on my hips I would most like to minimize. Instead of minimizing, the skirt really seems to add a weird bulky shape. Might just be my eye. I paired it with a belt I already have instead of the self fabric one it came with hoping it would help.
