Puffball/egg shaped skirts

[Tushka_BeLLa]

How do tulip or puffball skirts work on short people, and what ideally, should you wear on top? I'm 1,63m.

I got a gorgeous black one in a sale recently- they weren't really big here. I might keep it for a while until it's really out. I will probably wear a simple t-shirt/vest top with it or a slim fit grey jumper with 3/4 sleeves. I am short-ish but the skirt ends above the knee so I think it works well. Anything past the knee I would say no, forget it.

i love that skirt in post #180. but i'd wear it with another top. i don't like that the skirt .and. the sleeves in that outfit are puffy. although.. the longer i look at it..

i don't know how that translates into feet, but i'm 5' exactly and i have both a puffball skirt and an egg skirt that i made and have been told on both occasions that i look really great in them! i guess it's up to you if they work on you. i wore a tight black tee with both skirts and i think that proportion (tight on top, slightly more voluminous on the bottom) worked really well.

I think the tight on top, voluminous bottom proportion is the safest way to wear these skirts for MOST ppl (tall ppl included). Perhaps a shorter length (not quite mini but definitely a bit above the knee) puffball skirt might work better on shorter ppl because a longer length might swamp you but .f has shown that it can work!

I like to wear mine with pointy flats to elongate the legs.

thanks susie! i need to get myself some pointy flats i wore black canvas chinese slippers with that particular skirt.

As susie said a shorter version of the skirt will do the trick...

Never thought about wearing pointy flats with them to make my legs seem longer, I'll have to try that. . . thanks susie...

I bought that skirt from Stella for H&M. I think it gives me a beautiful silhouette. It is not unflattering at it does not make my behind look bigger.

oo that loooks amazing!

I think you have to have the "right" body to wear these kinds of skirts, otherwise you may look fat.

I like these skirts, I think that it works on me.

This is more what I would call a 'tulip shape' skirt, I love high waists at the moment.

you look amazing!

Thanks you two... I always do minimal make up & hair so no prob there lol.

Oh & Ill check the flats out but yeah... your probably right. I dont own a knee high flat boot so I think Ill just go with the opaque tights with a pump.

Any ideas on other tops to wear with it?

I guess my pic got delete because I forgot to credit it...sorry about that. I keep forgetting. Its from Firstview.com.

Here it is again... in case anyone has an ideas on colors to wear with it.

i believe kimair has this skirt...might wanna ask her how she wears hers!

Thanks Brian.

On the short people question, I'm very small as well, what works for me is to balance it with a tighter top.

And you want to avoid skirts that go past the knee as they will make short legs look even shorter.
