PSA: VC Striped Tube Skirt for Canadian Fabbers

Transcona Shannon

The Bay just reintroduced the now famous YLF black/white striped tube skirt and it's on sale this weekend for $45 http://www.thebay.com/webapp/w.....124808--24…would be great for Angie's midi skirt and bomber formula.

They also have a great black and white marble effect version - http://www.thebay.com/webapp/w.....124807--24.

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend

Thanks Shannon! I'm intrigued but concerned that I can't pull it off with my short, curvy frame. Have you tried a knit midi before? Any tips?

Hey Kerry! I actually have two of the VC midi skirts that I bought last year and have ordered both of the ones I linked to to try out. I love them! Even as a petite apple, I find them very easy to wear. I just make sure I have a top that is long enough and flowy enough to cover my tummy and butt. The taper at the bottom of the skirt adds enough structure to the outfit. I've worn them with flats and heels and I've dressed them up with a blazer for the office. They are very versatile and extremely comfy. I think if you tried it you'd be pleasantly surprised.

Shannon - while searching for some threads on this skirt I just found yours...I spent half a day the other day trying to find a couple of these to buy, and was really surprised The Bay here didn't have any. Took me searching at least 5 or 6 different sites and finally a black small popped up on amazon.com. I hate to support amazon, but that's another story. Anyways, it just arrived today, I tried it on and was completely caught off-guard by the unfinished hem. Not sure how I feel about it - it's a far lighter weight fabric than I was expecting. Did you hem yours? And regarding the striped version - could not find one anywhere - on-line or bricks and mortar. Hope The Bay brings them back!

Hey Lisa! I haven't had luck in finding the VC tube skirts in The Bay brick and mortar store. I have ordered mine off The Bay website. And unfortunately they don't carry petite sizes, like Nordstrom does.

All of the VC tube skirts have an unfinished hem which can be a blessing if you want to short it - just grab a pair of scissors and hack away. The hem does not roll or unravel at all due to the fabrication. I did not hem mine as the unfinished edge doesn't bother me.

They are a lighter weight but that's part of why they are so comfy in the summer heat. I just wear a flowy top that covers the "bulgy bits" and voila - instant outfit.

Thanks Shannon - I'm going to test-drive it tomorrow and see how it wears. I still want a striped one and am not giving up until I find it:) The Bay is so useless sometimes for stock - the Vince C selection is pathetic. I will be one happy woman when Nordstrom moves in - as rumour has it it will:)
