David Kahn Denim-Angie was right!!

Taffy

I tried on a couple pairs of David Kahn's yesterday, and they fight PERFECTLY! I can't be effusive enough... I pulled them on and immediatly thought, "So this is what it's like for everyone else!" They are long enough and fit my thighs, and but great. They also fit the same at the end of the day...no stretching out!(I'll post pictures after my shoes get shipped here, next week)

I do have a question though:
They have a pretty wide leg opening...26". They are a 3758 Trouser. Is the "trouser" part the whole leg or just the wide leg opening? I'd like to get a straighter leg pair, but will I lose the fit in the thighs?
I've tried to cruise around on his website, but it's not very informative. I need the original rise 9.5-10 " (nikki is too low). Anyone with suggestions, since now i'll have to buy online? Thanks for your help!

Taffy

They look awesome! Though it can be tricky for me to pull off since I'm so short, I personally really love the wide leg look. It's so dramatic, esp with PPL, and I think it gives a great line making one's waist look teeny tiny. Can't wait to see photos of you wearing them!!

It seems like Nordie's offers quite a range of this brand in different styles and cuts. If you are looking for a straighter pair, I'd definetly start there, with the same brand, now that you know it works for you.

If you can't visit the store again, try emailing customer service. I have had good luck with that approach. I would ask for very specific measurements of the garment at the widest part of the thigh (probably the crotch point) when laid flat.

Thanks Shiny! THat hadn't occurred to me!!! (Isn't it true that the simplest solution rarely does?)

Oh Taffy, you look WONDERFUL. Simply delightful. The jeans are perfect! I am thrilled you found them and made the investment. You shan’t be disappointed. As for the new tie-blouse – KILLER.

ps your cherub looks like a sweetie and matches Mama’s hair

Taffy

thank you Tanya and Angie! They feel perfect. Should I still look for a narrower legged jean? THese look straighter than I thought they would.

They look boot cut. Super! See how you go. You might like a pair if straight legs too. How often do you wear jeans?

Taffy

I would wear them a whole lot more now! :)) I only work 2 days a week...so the rest of the days are up for grabs, and I don't really wear dresses or skirts that often

I love your tie neck blouse and your jeans of course as I mentioned in your other post. Good for you for investing in this look - you look fab.

Taffy -- I love those BR blouses on you. I looked on the website and couldn't find them. Are they from the new collection, or does BR not mean "banana republic"?

Thanks!

You look beautiful with your haircut and great fitting jeans and great blouse. Very classy. Your taga long is adorable too.

Gorgeous, Taffy! I especially love the 2nd outfit (and your son is precious!). You look so elegant and put-together. Well-fitting jeans are worth the money!

Julia

Taffy those jeans fit you like a dream! I'd duplicate them in a heart beat. Both of the BR tops are fabulous, you look great!

christie

Taffy, those are fabulous looks. I love the second (tie neck) most of all. That is a classy, classy look!

Taffy, those jeans are FABULOUS on you! Love the tie-neck blouse too. And your son is a cutie!

Thanks everyone! Thank goodness my husband was along...he's the one who actually made me buy them! (what a nice boy!)

Ty was feeling left out of all the pictures, so he had to jump in one

aschreiber: The teal BR top is from the 2007 Holiday collection. Maybe this winter they'll have something similar again this year?
