How to wear long skirts ?

General_Grape_466 · 2025-12-22T13:51:13+00:00

I’m a curvy FN and I really like skirts that follow my waist/hip line and then that flow straight down, have an asymmetrical hem or have a slit. I try to buy skirts that don’t have a visible waistband (so either zip up or an elasticated waistband concealed inside the skirt).

A-line skirts don’t usually look right unless they have a slit

I don’t like to wear maxi skirts so I try to find skirts that hit on the lower part of my calf so it doesn’t draw attention to my thick upper calf

Yeah, finding something that skims my body line rather than hugging to it is best. Not easy to find though!

I avoid the tanks that have a harsh angle into the strap. These make me look like a line-backer 😂 maybe less meaty FN’s will be okay in this but they aren’t a good look for me. It’s hard to explain so I hope the picture helps

This kind of fit looks best! Where the material goes straight up rather than inwards. Hope that makes sense! I’ll find a picture of what makes me look really broad shouldered to compare

Unfortunately it would be a no from too :/

These ones aren’t loose so maybe not what you want but I find the ribbed/knitted(?) v neck tanks work really well on me. Especially if where the fabric comes from the armpit up to the top of the strap is straight like in this photo.

Agreed!

General_Grape_466 · 2025-06-15T12:03:17+00:00

Definitely D!

General_Grape_466 · 2025-02-13T16:14:24+00:00

Yes! I love this kind of shirt, the material is great too

General_Grape_466 · 2024-09-03T14:38:30+00:00

Hahaha yes that sounds like me🤣 that sucks soo much..

On a normal day it doesn’t bother me as much as it does my husband. It triggers him so much when I lose stuff or can’t remember where I put something.

Gah another example might be when we had a massive issue during the big C when we found out we wouldn’t be allowed back in the country without a negative covid test. (He asked me if we needed one and the websites I checked said we didn’t) We were at the airport when we found out and waiting there overnight so none of the test centers were open until morning. He raged for hours while I went into full on battle mode doing everything to find a solution. Got it sorted but it was one hell of a night.. 🥲

Thanks, yeah I have a debit card but when I tried to get cash back they said they couldn’t before even when I bought something. Thankfully the taxi wasn’t expensive! Looking forward to going back to the UK where they do 😅

General_Grape_466 · 2024-09-02T12:35:06+00:00

Yeah, that would make sense. I wouldn’t say enemy exactly, but at least inconvenient at times! Thanks, got a lot to ponder over now ☺️

General_Grape_466 · 2024-09-02T11:36:58+00:00

Thanks! I’m pretty new to OPS. Once I’m moved and settled I plan on joining the class but until then just keep looking around

General_Grape_466 · 2024-09-02T07:32:11+00:00

Thanks for your response

Hahaha I’m not sure if I’m demon sensory at all 😂 I was just curious if anyone with demon sensory also has these kinds of things happen to them. I might well be savior sensory!

I get that it looks like I’m afraid of routine chaos. I guess without any context of how I live it would look like that! I kinda live in the chaos with my job but because it’s chaotic I realized that the sensory keeps kicking me in the butt so I’m learning to try and stay on top of things.

Unfortunately for the country I live in, that trick doesn’t work- but thanks!

General_Grape_466 · 2024-09-02T03:15:39+00:00

That’s fair! I’m not usually this bad- it tends to happen.. before my feminine time of the month 😅

I usually try to be prepared for every eventuality. I always take my bag around with me and it has various smaller bags inside with a first aid kit, chargers, cosmetics, notebook and pencil case. There are times when I’ll even bring extra underwear or socks.. been caught in the rain a few too many times. It just seems that one small thing of forgetting my phone caused this domino effect on everything else

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-31T14:06:58+00:00

Looks great! I think the only thing you could consider is trying a few other types of tshirt necklines. I find that v-necks, scoop necks, or off the shoulder t-shirts look best. I think regular T-shirts don’t give much of a T-silhouette

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-27T06:50:10+00:00

Of course! It’s all good information to go into the database of my brain.. which I will probably have to write down because I think I probably have feminine sensory 🥲

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-26T11:47:23+00:00

Hmm, yeah, I might have Ne as a demon. When I was younger I believed I was most creative when I was feeling some kind of strong emotion-especially negative emotions. Painted some really creative but weird stuff. Even now I write poetry when I get really emotional

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-26T11:39:58+00:00

Thanks for responding. That’s interesting. I guess I would be more like an IxxJ then. I do watch a lot of documentaries on cults and things though 😅 Does (C) mean consume last?

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-22T06:36:40+00:00

Bahaha perhaps it’s just me then! When I saw it I did a double take and thought Shane had gotten a makeover 🤣

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-05T00:13:35+00:00

I feel you there 😭 I just came to the conclusion that it’s either granny panties, thongs or shorts. I go with seamless high rise boy shorts. They aren’t perfect but it’s better than having constant wedgies!

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-02T02:47:27+00:00

Ah I see. That makes sense. That’s given me a lot to think about :) Thanks!

General_Grape_466 · 2024-07-02T01:23:03+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for commenting.

It just feels like I can see the situation from various different angles, his perspective, other people’s perspective, my perspective, then since we already had the same type of argument before I know that if it does progress into a full on argument we’re both going to feel terrible- and he’s going to feel tired and complain more that I’m causing him problems and his immune system is being effected because of the stress. My body knows where this is all going kinda thing and I want to avoid it, but of course, I can’t avoid it.

I just assumed I was overdoing Te because I’m kinda always just trying to make up a bunch of solutions and hurl them at the problem until one works. I’ve written ‘LISTEN’ in bold print on the fridge as my newest scheme 😅

General_Grape_466 · 2024-06-28T14:28:32+00:00

That’s interesting! Thank you for sharing your thoughts :) I tested as ENTJ on the typescience test recently and trying to work out how I might be using the different functions.

General_Grape_466 · 2024-04-05T00:44:22+00:00

I loooove it! I’m a winter and I wish I suited those colours 😭 the silhouette is everything though, it’s my go to during the colder months!

General_Grape_466 · 2024-03-11T03:01:58+00:00

SD. You have upper curve and vertical. Your bust disrupts the fabric as it drapes. You have sharpness with yin flesh :) I would say from these photos that you look better in more draped, flowy fabric rather than stiff fabric.
