D-Lish Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Since nobody understands, now I'm thinking maybe I am abnormal or at least in the minority of women. :confused: Silky, when I was crazy skinny, like way too skinny- my public bone would protrude if I wore a form fitted mermaid-type skirt, or tights. It was just the wrong clothing for me to be weaing for my form at the time. A high-waisted mermaid fit wasn't the way for me to go. You might want to try a high-waisted A-line fit.... So the skirt flares out from the waist, instead of cutting in at the pubic area, thighs, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
D-Lish Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Oh- I just saw you posted a pic! You are very thin, so I think it's a matter of trying an a-line and shortening the shirt a tad to balance it out. Actually, the problem I had was in a skirt almost identical to what you posted! When I turned to the side, my mound (good word Jilly) protruded more than my tummy, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Going shorter is a good idea since in her other album, where she's wearing the tight, black dress, she has nice legs. Take a look at Skirt #15 as an example of cut. Link to post Share on other sites

Author txsilkysmoothe Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Well, I don't know from tailoring but I swear to you as a male Silky, that you could show up in a burlap sack and every eye would bulge. You're hot, kid! Oh that's very kind of you. thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Author txsilkysmoothe Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Wow TBF, D-Lish, Jilly Bean, Sweet Jasmine - I appreciate the insight. I had not thought about the skirt being wrong for my shape. That makes sense and explains why my other skirts don't have this problem. Thanks for the example, TBF. I like it and will look for a skirt like that. This one was on a clearance sale so no big loss. Link to post Share on other sites

Well you look "hawt" in it- and it's totally apparant you have a rockin' bod. Because I work in fashion- I see trends I LOVE everyday- but the trends don't always work on my frame (and sometime age, lol). There have been some styles I LOVE, but can't wear. I need skirts down to the floor or above my knees, nothing in between, I can wear a mini because my legs are nice- but if I wear a skirt below my knees, I look 10 lbs heavier. It's all about dressing for your shape. I have outfits I wear and people tell me I am too skinny- I am no longer too skinny- but it's all about what I put on to create an illusion. I def think you should take your skirts a little shorter and change the mermaid style to something more a-line. It will accentuate the most beautiful parts of you. Link to post Share on other sites
SpanksTheMonkey Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I agree with TBF. Or you could also return it and look for a different cut that doesn't get so tight/narrow. In any case, you're definitely not abnormal. You look great! Agreed you look fine no worries I think its just how that skirt hangs its odd but you get that with clothes every now and then I guess ide return it and get something else.
