Your body type does those wide pants that Suz linked to&nbsp;justice. I look clown-esque and&nbsp;drown in the look. I don't have the shoulder width&nbsp;to carry the silhouette either.&nbsp;I could do the BB trousers though - more streamlined - and LOVE the black Alice &amp;&nbsp;Oliver trousers that are an Essential in my wardrobe - because they are more streamlined and high-end quality.</p> <p>Unfrumped, the fabrics are different.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378528 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 18:46:41 +0000 Jeanie 1378528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I edited my response. &nbsp;I meant to say Beth Ann and Sveta. &nbsp;You look great in everything but it is tricky to wear these wider legs for us shorter folks. (I am just 5'4" myself). &nbsp;&nbsp;I hope you find some that are edited for you because I bet they would be fab. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378521 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 18:34:00 +0000 Suz 1378521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great, Jeanie! Thank you! Sveta especially would look fantastic in them. I would find the scale tricky with my height, but I would love to try some flowing ones scaled to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378518 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 18:31:28 +0000 Jeanie 1378518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are pretty pants. &nbsp;Reminds me of these I saw in the latest In Style Magazine. &nbsp;They are DKNY but I don't see them in gray online so I took a pic of the magazine. &nbsp;&nbsp;So pretty. &nbsp;I can see Beth Ann&nbsp;and Sveta in these. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378482 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:51:20 +0000 Suz 1378482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I promise I did not do that to torture you! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually think these particular Zara ones would be tough to wear, but love the idea of versions of these being more available, and Beth Ann, I agree -- you could sew your perfect pair and wear them so well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, thanks for the links to the Brooks Brothers ones. I might have to check those out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378469 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:38:46 +0000 Beth Ann 1378469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep.&nbsp; Right up my alley!&nbsp; These are definitely "Hepburnesque."&nbsp; This particular pair has odd welt pockets on the back.&nbsp; These kind of pants should always have side pockets.&nbsp; The welts look like they're placed really low on her bottom.&nbsp; And she doesn't even have one!&nbsp; I always notice this detail, because welt pockets are often highlighted when your booty raises them up and makes them three D!&nbsp; </p> <p>Suz, while I cringe at sewing trousers in general, I suspect that I could get the best result sewing these in a gorgeous wool gabardine.&nbsp; With this full a pant, you can fiddle with the fullness and waistband, etc until you get it right.</p> <p>Angie:&nbsp; I agree that this particular look is hard to wear.&nbsp; My own shape, however, adds a certain, um, "structure" of sorts to the look, and I think they don't need to puddle or be quite so wide.&nbsp; In my mind, it's the luxury of the drape, falling straight from the waist, with no break at the leg crease, that makes them glamorous.&nbsp; And the BB trousers?&nbsp; They are beautiful, with what appears to be a perfect fabrication.&nbsp; Oh -- and lined?&nbsp; So nice to see that feature again.&nbsp; Lined trousers lay so much more nicely.&nbsp; Of course, when the lining is cheap, it's a horror.</p> <p>Impetus to sew is building, building, building......better get to it before Christmas decorations crowd my space further! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378448 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:07:35 +0000 Tanya 1378448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous trousers, though I would probably find them a but much too wear regularly.&nbsp; As an occasional statement they would work marvelously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378441 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:00:51 +0000 Sveta 1378441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;sigh&gt; not a perfect length for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378435 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 16:40:38 +0000 unfrumped 1378435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, what is the difference between the 2 styles shown? Do they have any curvy possibilities (I see alterable waistband but still could be cut very straight through hip).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378427 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 16:20:30 +0000 Angie 1378427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous pants. I tried on a pair similar to that last year&nbsp;and have to say that&nbsp;I find the style extremely overwhelming and impractical to wear. I liked the way they looked -&nbsp;but I did not feel fab wearing them.&nbsp;And you have to go with how you feel in an item. Beth Ann, I leave this style to lovely you, and am excited to see you in them.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Brooks brothers has STUNNING flared leg trousers in at the moment that are lined and impeccably made. These photos make them look awful, but on my client they were WOW-Killer. And the perfect length.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378426 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 16:18:02 +0000 Sveta 1378426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you SHOULD NOT show these to me! I don't need them! I am sized out of Zara sized! But &nbsp;- oh boy - aren't they just my style?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378418 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 15:53:22 +0000 unfrumped 1378418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, my. Swoon. Wish I could do that! I think I'm on track with my AT high waist that have just&nbsp; a bit of taper--these super-wide Zara's would overwhelm me as I'm not long-legged and lanky enough, nor will wear pointy heels. But perhaps Zara going way out there will keep some related styles in play for awhile.<br />(hmm--I have kept my AK wide-leg black pants in the holding zone....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378416 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 15:48:31 +0000 deb 1378416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Kate Hepburn returns. These are lovely, Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beth-ann-high-waist-flowing-trousers#post-1378412 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 15:35:11 +0000 Suz 1378412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, have you seen these?&nbsp;</p> <p>I know Zara sizing is problematic. But where Zara goes, can others be too far behind?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
