The waist could be a bit snugger on me, but I have very wide hips and narrow waist so I'm used to such issues. I might fold the waist down on myself as I like low waisted things. I am wearing the skirt a bit lower on my hips because otherwise the waist would be looser. I'm wearing a cropped short shirt to show the waistband for the photo.
I'm planning to wear this thin merino wool skirt during cool weather, over my long Ibex wool leggings and with smartwool longsleeve pullovers or sweaters on top. Just enough of a coverup over leggings.
My hips= 42" Waist=32". Height 5'5", weight 145.

R. Crumb's wife has a book out of her own cartoons and such.
Frankly, I think *she's* the talented one.

Yeah, I'm gettin' there! My DH has a BIG Crumb collection. He's also a "Crumb woman" fan....no boney sinew figures for him! He says if he wanted a stick he'd just have gotten a rawhide chew toy to knaw on.... :rolleyes: I just love having nice strong legs to stomp around on. :DQuote:

Hmm...well without all her makeup I have to admit now that she DOES look like me. I've been getting Annie Lenox comments for many years.Quote:
