I'm 5'3". I sized up just for length, but then the skirt was too wide (and waist too big) and I didn't gain much length. Also, I have the reverse problem. In these kinds of skirts, I have to size down for the fit to look right. <br /><br />I think in these kinds of skirts sizing up too much gives them a boxier and wider look. Add a short length, and the look is all wrong to me.<br /><br />I don't care for the sweater because the colorblock lines makes it look like a sweatshirt (which may be what they intended but isn't my style). The previous version was nicer in my opinion.Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145078401071790203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-62191826003305218972012-09-16T09:36:44.477-04:002012-09-16T09:36:44.477-04:00Thanks for the review.

My waist is not the narrowest part of my body (god I think it is my wrists but my skirts won't fit there!) so I don't know what size I would take! an 8 or 10?? And I am like Tabs - I would prefer a skirt like this to go a couple of inches below the knee so that I could wear with my brown riding boots...<br /><br />I also admired the waffle sweater but if it doesn;t like great on you it is unlikely to look great on me as tha sand up by the face would wash me out as well..
