women's pants rant

[Penny4]

I see your steep ravine pants are on sale Mureinn, you should stock up!
I've ordered a few pairs of shorts from Athleta, and they seem to be hit or miss for me. Not quite curvy enough for me most of the time.

Gap is probably my favorite for ordering pants. And I think they have changed their lengths a bit...I believe the Regulars are now closer to 33" or 33.5". I've actually been able to buy a few Regulars, that i can wear with flats. I have no idea why they won't caryy 16T in the store. I provide that feedback everytime I order a pair on line :-) but they have yet to listen to me. Sometimes i can get in a 14, but even those in a T are rare.

Reading this thread just confirms to me that no one seems to have it easy clothes shopping...tall, short, average....

++++ ++ for LL Bean, they have free shipping. I also have some flannel lined jeans that I love.

Oh, don't get me started. I plan to order a couple of pairs tonight myself. I'll try Eddie Bauer, been having very "Mixed" success with them though. Sizing all over the place and quality not what it used to be. Think I'll order both the Petite and the Regulars. Now if I can just remember, do I want the Blakeley or the Mercer fit?????

Really can't keep wearing cords to the office, April is just around the corner.

Yoga jeans for me. Doesn't expose my bum crack nor have my stomach hang out which is what alot of low-risers look like on me.

Can someone tell me what a mercer fit or a blakely fit or a holly fit IS? Do any of these sites actually describe what they are on the website? THIS is what drives me crazy about trying to buy pants online.

On the topic of flannel lined jeans, I was visiting my parents rural Indiana and noticed at one of those 'farm' stores they had really nice flannel lined jeans for about $30 a pair. It was a Farm and Fleet or Big R something like that but if any of you are in a rural area you might check there.
