Trisk, those Alpstar pants sound very nice.... but I would have to spend a fortune to get them hemmed.

Actually, you wouldn't. I ended up keeping the 6 over the 4, in part cuz the 4s are so damned short (they fit like petites)! I tried on a 4,6 and 8. In fact, I preferred the length on the 8 but they were way too big, the 6s are a little big in the waist, but the overall fit is the best and they do have room to layer.

But we seem inverted size wise, at least on the woolies bottom I needed an XS but I am a S in their tops. But you are tinier than me so I suspect the 4 alpstar pant would work for you, its the smallest size they make.

Its not always expensive to alter. When I lost my weight I brought my better clothes to a seamstress and she did wonders with them at very reasonable cost. I had a silk halter top dress I loved, and it had 4 darts, so she just took it in there and it looks great now. In fact, I have to stop by there after work to pick up an evening dress I found in my daughter's closet I want to wear on new years eve but had a broken zipper.
