Size is not an issue: Stripy skirt that won't make you look fat

Filed in archive Size not issue , Skirts on October 23, 2006

Stripes are still one of the favorite trends. Most women, scared they would look fat, wear them on tops only, totally neglecting skirts with stripes. My stand here is: when stripy skirts are as lovely as this Carmen Marc Volvo satin and velvet one, you needn't worry about your hips and bum looking fat.

I love this skirt because it looks really posh, but without looking high maintenance, you can wear it to the office or to a cocktail party and change only accessories. But I would definitely wear a high heal with this one, so that my legs would look slimmer.

Available at Nordstrom for $375, this skirt also comes in sizes up to 16, so we pretty much covered the whole population.
