Looks fantastic on,very "period drama" though not exactly "trendy" but It's lovely on. Thoughts on is it too old for a 34 year old tall and curvy size 16 mum. What colour and what style of top?

Ta folks

it does look very old and dated. Although you could wear a polar neck top, with some good looking boots on, and a belt on the hips.

fishie · 01/10/2008 21:40

maybe something like this but you'd need to get the same boots as in orig pic.

FairyMum · 01/10/2008 21:41

No!

controlfreakinfreaky · 01/10/2008 21:46

that is soooo not nice.

horrible length / too fussy / dull and drab colour.....

carries · 01/10/2008 21:46

FairyMum Why?

TurkeyLurkey · 01/10/2008 21:47

You may end up looking old before your time in it. Although agree could pull it off with polo nack and trendy boots. Hard to do though.

carries · 01/10/2008 21:47

What about this

Quite different.

OP posts:
carries · 01/10/2008 21:49

mmm.. old before my time. Hate that, but also hate mid length and above knee skirts cos got fat legs.

OP posts:
controlfreakinfreaky · 01/10/2008 21:50

much nicer imo.... but still got a frumpy thing going on in the skirt area....

for what purpose are you wanting it? work? play?

carries · 01/10/2008 21:51

Thank you folks! Opinions not what I hoped for, but honest!

OP posts:
SparkyFartDust · 01/10/2008 21:51

I don't like it carries.

I want to but don't. imo the fabric/ pattern doesn't suit the style of skirt. This one wouldn't give shape to thigh/leg and looks like it might not flatter.

My friend wears this style but more cut on bias and slightly shorter- they look great.

what do you like about it?

FairyMum · 01/10/2008 21:51

You need to get yourself off the Pera Una website. If you have fat legs, these skirts are just going to make you look even fatter. Get yourself a nice knee0line skirt. Don't hide away!

carries · 01/10/2008 21:51

Play. Casual winter wedding.

OP posts:
controlfreakinfreaky · 01/10/2008 21:51

most flattering length for everyone is just below knee, ending on the bit where your leg goes in before calf...

FairyMum · 01/10/2008 21:52

White stuff skirts very nice!

controlfreakinfreaky · 01/10/2008 21:52

budget?

controlfreakinfreaky · 01/10/2008 21:53

dress better than skirt for wedding (and easier)!

mabanana · 01/10/2008 21:54

YOu'd look like a refugee...or a witch! It really is horrible IMO. Fat legs? Easy, nice A-line knee-length skirt in a stiffish fabric (eg denim) black tights and Duo boots.

AnybodyHomeMcFly · 01/10/2008 21:57

Per Una always over-ruffle things imo. M&S do have some nice stuff at the mo tho so I'm sure there will be a good one for you.
