Mine are 2 years old and from Nieman Marcus. They are the same trousers though. Glad you're getting another pair, and hopefully the pocket linings will behave.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I don't prefer the fit on the model in #6. They look too snug. These are not slouchy trousers. Just baggier than what you are used to.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099783 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:55:45 +0000 Suz 1099783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you...it helps, but only in the sense of showing me I am right to be confused. I suspect I might be between sizes in these. The ones I want to order are non-returnable (ebay) so I think it's not worth the risk. Alas... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099736 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:19:59 +0000 AviaMariah 1099736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou - my first though when I put them on is that the were too big but I think it's just because they are slouchy and I am not used to having any extra room in the waist so that threw me off. &nbsp;Once I put a belt on they didn't look too big but definitely not fitted. &nbsp;I already tried one size down and there was not doubt that they were too small. &nbsp;This is one case where it would be really nice to be in the store with a bunch of the same sizes to try.<br />Suz - I wear a 4 in BR Martins (they are not fitted at all in the 4, I'll post a pic of those later) and these are a size 6. &nbsp;Initially I tried a 4 and they were too tight. &nbsp;Hope that helps. &nbsp;The new pair I ordered from Bloomingdale's are mostly a wool content while these are mostly cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099717 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:06:09 +0000 rachylou 1099717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, to be blunt - I think they're too big, and that alterations would be a euphemism for recut and reconstruct.</p> <p>On the other hand, getting a pair of pants is one way to get a nice basic design and good fabric to have trousers made up for you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099713 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 19:00:01 +0000 Suz 1099713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm watching this with interest...trying to decide whether to order a pair myself. Did you size up?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099630 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 17:22:18 +0000 AviaMariah 1099630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried these on again when I got home and there is definitely something wrong with the construction of the pockets. &nbsp;The inside (where your palm would lay if your hands were in the pocket) it cut bigger than the outside so it doesn't lay flat. &nbsp;To get rid of the bunching I had to tuck&nbsp;some fabric under the side seem. Of course this left a weird pucker. &nbsp;No good. &nbsp;I expected better construction for the price so I'm going to assume this is a one pair flaw. &nbsp;Gigi - I did find that pair on Bloomingdale's' site with that fabric content. &nbsp;I went ahead and ordered them. &nbsp;After all this hassle I'm determined! &nbsp;Hopefully the 4th time is the charm. &nbsp;I'll still try to get some better pictures to post later today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099541 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:59:03 +0000 Liz A. 1099541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rise looks very low to me.&nbsp; Are you comfortable with that?&nbsp; Can you still tuck as you please? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099316 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 07:18:53 +0000 Neel 1099316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, I have observed that if I shorten a boot-cut/fluid fit pant too much, it just looks weird from the knee down. &nbsp;You might want to check that aspect out too, since it's a tad too long?&nbsp; Do they have only one length of in-seams? &nbsp;Or could you go with a shorter in-seam? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099271 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 05:48:44 +0000 Gigi 1099271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as the other pants go that you found on the website, I would e-mail A&amp;O and see if they can give you the fabric content. Sometimes they have that info even if it's not posted on the website. (It's irritating that everyone doesn't post this stuff, IMO.) Can't wait to see tomorrow's pix! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099031 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:26:01 +0000 Anonymous 1099031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow those are marvelous pants. Too bad you have to use you imagination with the length. I look forward to more pictures and Angie's verdict!</p> <p>PS Didn't you just have a baby? Where's your tummy, girl? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1099005 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:11:10 +0000 Angie 1099005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great. Thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1098912 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:57:28 +0000 AviaMariah 1098912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'll go home and take a look at the pockets again and tomorrow I'll try to get some photos in daylight.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1098909 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:54:57 +0000 Angie 1098909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to make a very discerning assessment with you, but I just can't tell how they truly&nbsp;fit from these photos - and black photographs badly unfortunately. Any chance you can snap in better light, AM?&nbsp;</p> <p>How big are they around the waist? I would be very careful to alter at the waist. You will loose the swagger and fluidity that is important for this style. From the photos, they do not look big on the waist.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the way they fit on the legs. Not too snug. I'm not sure what's happening on the pocket though. Are they pulling in that area?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-my-alice-olivia-trousers-finally-arrived-fit#post-1098851 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 21:24:34 +0000 AviaMariah 1098851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been quite the saga to get these pants to me in the correct size but they finally arrived and I rushed home at lunch to try them on. &nbsp;I quickly snapped pictures, I hope you can see the details. &nbsp;I want honest opinions on the fit. &nbsp;At this price point I want them to be a 10. &nbsp;Do note that I have a lot of excess length&nbsp;which is folded up and does affect the drape. &nbsp;I actually think they may need to be taken in at the waist a touch which never happens with me (pic 3/4). &nbsp;The pocket does kind of a weird thing (pic 5). &nbsp;I can smooth the pocket lining to correct this but I'll have to wear them around for awhile to see if it stays. &nbsp;Thanks for looking! </p> <p>ETA - in looking at the A&amp;O website I found&nbsp;these <a href="http://www.aliceandolivia.com/olivia-wwb-pant.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.aliceandolivia.com/olivia-wwb-pant.html</a>&nbsp;(pic 6)which look like the same pant, just leather detailing (they don't give a fabric content which is kind of frustrating). &nbsp;The description says faux slant pockets at hip. &nbsp;If they are really faux, I wonder if I should give them a shot. &nbsp;I usually like no or faux front pockets better. &nbsp;Angie, are these the ones you have?</p>
