Shopping for pants
"Beeswing" wrote in message ... x-no-archive: yes My size 10s were a hair large (I thought), especially through the tailfeathers, so I went SHOPPING today. What a farce. I don't know what happened to sizes, 'cause I know I haven't changed all THAT much since last fall. The size I fit in depended completely on the cut of the pants and (to a lesser degree) on the maker. I already knew that, even from maker to maker, the size I wore varied. But I was still surprised with what I ended up coming home with. I have 6's that are too big, 9's that are too small. Some are baggy in the butt but too tight in the waist, some are too tight in the thigh but fit everywhere else, and almost all of them are too long... I have 35" hips and a 27.5" waist, plus I have a 28.5" inseam - I'm almost impossible to buy pants for. Land's End (www.landsend.com) has an option where you enter all of your own personal dimensions and the "build" a pair of pants for you. It's spendy, $54, but they ought to fit pretty darned good at that price! det |

Makes you wonder who the manufacturers are making all of these jeans/pants for, doesn't it? My pants range from size 1 (ha!) to 9 in juniors and 2 to 6 in misses and only one pair fits well and is flattering. You'd think that wearing 8 diferent sizes, I'd have more luck. -Alison (32.5-33" inseam, 34.5" hips, can't find waist, can't find pants) |
