Anyone ride in baggy knickers? If so, brands you like?

I am petite (5'3") with a fairly small waist but wide hips.

I have tried the Portland Cyclery Messenger pants, which are really nice. But they did not fit me correctly. The rise was just too short to be comfortable and surprisingly the articulated knees hit me above my knee. They did fit snugly (but not too tightly) over the hips.

What has worked really well for me are the Terry Scooter Capris, one size smaller than normal. These just seem to fit me comfortably and are not too loose nor too tight. And the length is just right.

I'm looking into either Zoic or Chrome knicks. Tough to find a pair that is cheap for sure. I may just buy some dickies and make them cut-offs.

a big thank you to the girls who took the time to take pics and post them! this helps too! i am not the stereotypical bike chick either. 5'5, curvy (understatement) and all my weight is in the hip/middle region. i'm a size 10 or 12 depending on the brand and i cannot buy shorts or knickers on line without knowing how they fit. i also refuse to wear spandex without something OVER it! no one needs to see that rear view!

Another vote for the Greta capri. I did Bike to Work week commuting 30 miles roundtrip each day (I will continue to commute most days since in the end I saved time). I also tried the Terry Scooter capri but the Greta was the hands-down winner for me! I bought the discontinued Vicuna color here on TE.
