and some outfits i've come up with (vintage skirt, vintage dress which looks just like the delia's dress):
but i'm worried it makes me look kind of schleppy...i can't wear it zipped because where it hits at the bottom hugs my hips. i don't know if maybe a smaller size would look better or if i should look for something else.
I think it just needs some waist definition. either zip it up to the breast bone, or wear it open in the front a little and cinched with a belt vs. pulled together and cinched (I saw this somewhere - it was an interesting look I plan on copying)

it looks really unflattering of me with a belt. (too embarassing to post)
but zipped i guess doesn't look too bad. i'm just not usually a fan of things zipped...(or buttoned up...i feel like it emphasizes my hips. i'm usually "LOL i know i have hips!" but i feel this calls extra attention to this)
How about getting one of those two-way zippers installed so you could have it unzipped at the bottom, but have it zipped at the waist for more definition?
