Could this be non-frumpy?
Permalink Closed


Okay, I know the color is totally putrid (which is why I like it).  Is it terribly frumpy or do you think it could look cute if paired with the accessories?

I don't think it's frumpy at all ... especially with the right accessories.

I don't think it looks frumpy. It actually looks very figure-flattering.

The only thing I see that might be potentially frumpy is the length- how long is it? I'd pair it with light orange or dark blue.

It's 28" from the natural waist - I would totally have to get it hemmed.

I don't necessarily think it is frumpy, but you are so tiny (in a cute way!) that I think everything "going on" might make it overwhelming on your frame. IIRC, you have pretty narrow shoulders, and all the draping and what have you might be too much. To what length would you have it hemmed?

I'd have to have it hemmed to 22".


Well, the XS I had in my cart isn't available, so I'd have to get a S which would most likely be too big .  I think a S would definitely be too overwhelming, unfortunately.


Someone has to get this so I can live vicariously through them!


BTW, what do you guys think of these things?  I haven't ordered from Newport News in a long time, so I'm  not sure about the swimsuit in particular .....

Love the pink top! The other two are cute, and if the price is right, could be worth it!
