I have a couple of VC tube skirts but not the ruched ones. I am pear/spoon shaped with heavy thighs and I hate anything too clingy/bodycon. I sized up on my skirts and then had Nordies take in the waist; alterations are effectively free if the purchase was made with a Nordies card. They give you Rewards credit on the amount.
I find drapey tops, maybe with a semi-tuck, works the best. Or maybe a top with an asymmetrical or sharkbite hem. With one skirt, I can wear a more fitted top like a tank top and then my knit obi belt. My other skirt really shows my tummy for some reason so I don't tuck with that one.
A lot of folks on the Forum bought these tube skirts in the last year or three so you could probably run a search on *VC tube skirt*, *tube skirt*, or maybe even just *tube* and it would pop up with a lot of WIWs to give you ideas.
