women's pants rant

[Irulan]

Target!! I've been going crazy pants shopping. I have curves (small waist) and have tried on everything everywhere. Target has 4 different cuts, labeled 1-2-3-4, and two of them fit me without gaposis at the waist. The best part is the have jeans, causual trousers, and dressier trousers, all very affordably priced. I have had such a hard time with pants that I would never do mail order on something I hadn't purchases before.

I feel your pain Roadie. While I live in an area where there are a million stores around, being tall requires me to order most of my pants on line. For some reason, many stores that do carry talls, only carry them up to a size 12 or 14. (I am usually a 16T). So I am constantly ordering on line and returning because the "Blakely" or "Modern" or whatever cut is all wrong for me. Oy.
Good luck with your shopping. It's such a pain

^ This. I have four pair. I'm curvy with small waist and big bum, and the cut looks great and they're around $20, if I remember right. I don't think the quality is the best, and they wear out easily, but for the price, I just pick up another pair.

Also, check out ExOfficios. They are made for travel: light weight, wrinkle resistant.. I like their Nomads. A bit pricey, but really hold up. I've worn and washed my pair probably around 100 times. Still look great.
