If you haven't yet noticed, I do in fact have a Troll that goes by Ann or Anon. I thought it would be fun to keep score of Me (GeoInCalifornia) vs. Troll (of a certain IP Address)
Here is the point tally from my last post.
GeoInCalifornia = 2 points (troll finds fault with my Nefertari link that was in fact correct)
2 points (troll accuses me of trolling, when in fact I was the one that was trolled)
Troll = 1 point (for a minor spelling error - judgement vs. judgment) note: I think the error was in the comment section.
Final score = 4 to 1. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I win!
Just a little bit of fun that is not to be taken seriously.

She isn't without issues. Still working on litter training. She forgets after being outside for so long. She is also very smart. She knows when I am trying to trick her into going in her cage. She hates it. Bites on the metal. The other day she flung a piece if carrot at me. She was mad. I'm not kidding. My cats are smart, but no match for her.

I recall a photo of my Bee Ring on a Flower Stalk. Some actually thought for a minute the Bee was real.
That was my friend Kris. Now she really is a photographer.

No. No! I want cool weather. I want to wear my Anthro boots and coats. The weather is too nice and unexciting. Well we did have some freakish storms lately that dumped double our normal rainfall. Normal is 4-5 inches in a good year.
Bakersfield sits in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada Ranges. Which is good for the snow pack, and LA. Our city water is from wells. Highly chlorinated. LA and Valley Ag uses the CA Aqueduct.
Probably more than you wanted to know huh?
My Troll is very quiet.

Anyway this is a little off-topic but I was reading reviews on the Yumi Skirt and read your review. I just picked up the tan colour in that skirt today now that it went on sale.
I saw that you talked about the bow in the front stretching and sagging with wear. Do you think it would be possible to fix that with a few well placed stitches to hold it in place? I think that might work, just wondering what you think. I haven't worn mine yet since I only just picked it up today. It fit well for me. It's a 0 though so I really have no option of sizing down so hopefully it won't stretch too much. I already have a navy pencil skirt but didn't have one in this more neutral lighter colour and feel like the colour will go with a lot. It is wrinkled right now but looks like it's like that from being folded. I know it will wrinkle due to being cotton and linen although I tend to feel like pencil skirts don't tend to wrinkle as much as other types of skirts made from the same material(just because there is more material to shift around and be sat on awkwardly in other types of skirts). I really only have about 3 pencil skirts though so I can't say I'm overly familiar with them(the other 2 are also from Anthro...the Oh-La -La Lace Skirt and the Heritage Skirt). I like that it's machine washable. I only purchase the odd dry clean item(usually skirts I can wear with tights of sweaters....as in things I wouldn't have to have cleaned quite as often). I just don't like to have to visit the dry cleaners on a regular basis plus the extra cost of having to dry clean items.

I'm the same way with dry cleaning. I use a Dryel Kit for the dryer. Love it. Comes with stain remover that works great. It's not cheap. But a lot cheaper than dry cleaning womens clothing. You can clean up to 4 dresses with one sheet. It's very handy and saves gas and time.
About the skirt. I loved it when I tried it on in the store. The stretch waistband is genius. But the shell of the skirt isn't stretch. That detail becomes wrinkled because It's located right where you bend when sitting. That detail is cleverly puffed out and not sewn down flat. It looks great on the hanger and on the person that is standing up. I sit at a desk all day. The skirt was a mess by noon. I don't think tacking the bow detail will help at all. But its certainly worth a shot. Also, it was very hot the day I wore it. Which adds to wrinkling even further.
The skirt would be best worn while standing. It's just not suitable for a desk job.
I was so disappointed, I haven't worn it since. I did wash the skirt. It came out wrinkled just as I would expect a Cotton/Linen Blend would.
I have a friend that wears Linen all Summer. She is tall and thin. She looks fantastic covered in wrinkles. I however, Do Not.
I will give the skirt another shot when the weather cools off.
Girls from Savoy was started by a group of Anthro designers that branched out on their own. The Co is so new, I think they are still ironing out their wrinkles. Ha-Ha!
The fabric was a poor choice for the detail. Perhaps it would have been best to use the same fabric as the waistband.
I know this probably didn't help much. Normally, I can come up with fairly decent solutions for clothing issues. But some things are hopeless. I see no problem with wearing the skirt wrinkled and stretched out. Personally, I'd rather not.
If you come up with a workable solution, please fill me in.

That's interesting about Dryel. It's nice that there is another option to dry clean only clothing. Of course I think I still prefer to stick mostly to machine washable items.
Anyway I am tall and thin like your friend that you describe. So maybe it won't be so bad for me then?
I actually really like Girls from Savoy....they are one of my fav designers at Anthro. I do agree though that this skirt is not one of their better items but I think I still like it enough to keep the neutral/tan colour in this skirt. I will see how it goes, and I got it at the sale price at least. Also I do live in Canada. There is a lot of cold weather here for quite a bit of the year so perhaps it will wrinkle a bit less here. I find the skirt to be really comfortable. It might not be the best looking skirt due to it's prone to wrinkles issue but it has other stuff going for it I suppose.
Thanks for the response. I'll let you know if I attempt to alter the skirt in any way. I'm not sure yet if I will try to make any changes to it. I think I will wear it and see what happens.

I don't mind poly when you consider the price difference between it and Silk. Adding Silk lining will shoot the price up an additional $100 for lining no one will ever see? Not worth the added expense.
