Design of fabric actually makes or breaks an outfit.  So I purchased a beautiful white/grey/black skirt.  It is lined and fits beautifully.  Here is the problem. The waist is mostly white and then the skirt fades to black and grey.  Now normally, this would be beautiful, however, white around the middle (when the middle includes more than it should) is really a design imperfection.  I hope I bought this shirt on sale.  If not, really what was I thinking. Anyway, everyone seemed to love it but completely understood the design dilema when I brought it to attention.  Hello fashion industry-----really, think before you design, cut and sew.  I know design should not dictate and of course - weight should not be a deciding factor.  I just ask that a little thought go into design.  Yes, I could have passed this skirt by. Yes, It is my fault my middle (white) is a little more than it should be....but just throwing the thought out there.
