Sorry- me again. - YouLookFab Forum

Kia ora from the other side of the world! Apologies if it is not protocol to re-post- just hoping someone may be able to help!
Just wanting a bit of advice re items in the sale… I will be buying online, so appreciate opinions! I do love online shopping- such a treat when a parcel arrives- and you lucky locals don't know how envious I am of the variety you have close by!
I am a 55 year old pear, with rather more of a rounded tummy than I used to have. I am a pretty standard Size 14 NZ, which equates to a 10 U.S, but I do have my hips!
I am interested in the http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ju.....eath-dress which has good reviews,and also Angie's stamp. But will it be a poor fit on a pear? Is it quite fitting waist down?Is it too young?!
I also love the combination http://shop.nordstrom.com/o/ha.....in=cate… but is the pencil skirt straight or tapered? Straight is usually ok but tapered = yuck, yuck, yuck!
I have attached a recent photo in a reasonably fitted dress- and would appreciate any input!
Thanks- and Angie, a trip to little old New Zealand should be on your list- wouldn't I just love to go shopping with you!!

I tried the link and it didn't work.

The two Nordstrom links aren't working for me either, Rose, perhaps you could try linking to the items again?

Hello rose,

How about posting both links again? They currently don't work and we're eager to help

Suz

Also, try an "Ask Angie" topic if you want Angie's input. She might not see it otherwise.

If that IS the dress Rose, (the green eyelet sheath that Word Lilly posted), it's straight and not tapered on the skirt, so you should be fine with the fit on the hip area.

So sorry!Thanks to you all- time difference meantI slept through it all. Yes indeed it is that dress so thanks, Angie.
The other is http://shop.nordstrom.com/o/ha.....&a…
I really do appreciate all you wonderful people who tried to help me, apologies again.x

Rose, the patterned skirt with the mint tunic cardi in the link is straight and not tapered. The cardi is a very lightweight.

From what I can see in the pic, the dress looks lovely (GREAT lace). A head to toe photo will help us assess the dress a little more accurately with you though.

Thanks, Angie, that dress is one I already own! I wore it to my daughter's wedding about four months ago. I have so few photos that I thought it might give an idea of my shape.I am glad you like it- a NZer-Kate Sylvester. Thanks so much for the advice re the outfits!
