Believe me I have several issues with my legs, and bum and hips, and all....and still...once I have found a pair it fit, never looked back!!! So I would advice not giving up on them, you should find one for you, too!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1674115 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 08:49:58 +0000 anne 1674115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sallies, I ordered these from Ezibuy<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ezibuy.com/shop/au/capture-european-jeans/p/50490">https://www.ezibuy.com/shop/au.....ns/p/50490</a><br />the last one in anything approaching my size.</p> <p>I love that you can collect from Big W now and avoid shipping costs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1674067 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 04:44:17 +0000 anne 1674067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally and Sally - I used to buy from Ezibuy a lot when I lived regionally, but stopped the catalogues when I moved back to the city nearly 3 years ago.<br />But I did go online and yes, there are some pretty cheap ones on there. Now I have to decide which ones I want!! And which sizes.</p> <p>Thanks Lyn - I am presuming we wear the same size so that's helpful.</p> <p>Dottie - I think that picture was on Angie's page. While I don't want leather, I do want to try pleats the size of that picture that are flowy.&nbsp; The annoying thing is that I saw some in Topshop the other week in Brisbane and that reignited my thoughts about them..But they didn't have them in blue in my local store and they were also a bit expensive.</p> <p>Crazyone - maybe they'll come out again in our summer. I am a bit particular - I don't want large or&nbsp; stiff pleats.&nbsp; Come to that I'm not 100% sure they'll look good even if I find what I want. As someone said in the&nbsp; thread I put above, they are a bit reminiscent of what my mum wore&nbsp; in the 80s!&nbsp; However I have actually seen women wearing them now and they look good (though never sure if that is also because they are thinner and taller than me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673970 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 00:18:33 +0000 Sal 1673970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I know the feeling! I have some white pants a little like these but they need linger tops for sure. I suspect that you would look wonderful in a more jeans like pair so you can wear shorter tops too.</p> <p>I did see a few pairs on EZibuy that might work for you. Prices good- I have had mixed success with them over the years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673917 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 22:01:34 +0000 Lyn D. 1673917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are a couple of years old Anne, so probably not the Cleo :(<br />I got the size 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673897 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 21:02:24 +0000 CocoLion 1673897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First pair of white pants will be too big. &nbsp;Second pair are not bad IMO, if you're going for a fitted pant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673885 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 20:50:33 +0000 Dottie 1673885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand your attraction and exasperation with pleated skirts. A couple of years ago, I really wanted a pleated black or dark brown leather (or faux leather) midi skirt. I had the hardest time finding one - never did. &nbsp;Not sure if they are "in" anymore but they still look classic to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673728 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 15:02:03 +0000 crazyone 1673728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, there are a ton of pleated skirts in the stores here, I guess it's because it's winter there? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673665 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 14:01:06 +0000 Anonymous 1673665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673626 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 12:50:44 +0000 Helen11 1673626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was only half joking about the summer stock - my little laughing emoji didn't seem to go on my post! &nbsp;<br />We have some lovely cool weather here today. &nbsp;I don't want to think about summer either, just want to enjoy wearing my boots and jeans.<br />Isn't it disheartening to try on pants that just feel blah. &nbsp;I know you know, it's not you, it's the clothes.<br />Good luck with the search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673564 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 08:40:45 +0000 Sally 1673564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second you need to look for jeans that are more structured with pockets.<br /> Those skirts with pleats are beautiful...<br /> What about ezibuy? Do you buy from them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673559 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 08:09:18 +0000 Cassie Lyons 1673559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've wanted to try a midi pleated skirt as well but can't seem to find any that fit my criteria either!&nbsp; Never thought about white jeans, I don't wear jeans very often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673558 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 07:58:31 +0000 anne 1673558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you buy the Cleo twill pair? I see theres a few left. What size did you get? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673556 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 07:24:16 +0000 Lyn D. 1673556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Dear Anne- I don't think ANYONE could be flattered by the pants above.<br />Def go for jeans for pockets and detail . I wish I had bought 2 pair of my Sportscraft white jeans for you :)<br />I would leave the search until Spring and hope that some better stock appears then BBQ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673546 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 06:06:32 +0000 anne 1673546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some terribly unflattering pics of white pants, the last pairs available on this shop. Two sizes apart. No jeans.</p> <p>My winter tummy weight gain already evident but I guess wouldn't be on show irl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673544 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 06:00:19 +0000 anne 1673544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna I too am long waisted with short legs. I also have thighs that are bigger than anywhere else on my body. But I did find some one month ago that kind of fitted.Now, in the Australian winter, there are very few that are on sale at all.</p> <p>Interesting about the pleats not staying in very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673533 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 05:10:42 +0000 Anna 1673533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you. I am long waisted and and have short legs. Have NEVER found a pair of white jeans that look good. I see people wearing them with saturated color tops and want to copy so badly but just not flattering. As to the skirts, I love the idea of a fully pleated skirt and have bought one in the past but keeping the pleats in it was a nightmare. The dry cleaner charged me a fortune every time. The last straw came when I picked it up and they HAD PRESSED EVERY SINGLE PLEAT out of it. It was ruined. When I complained they said I needed to tell them to re-press the pleats! Maybe you just aren't supposed to sit down in themIF you do find a skirt you like make sure the length is right. My sister had to get one altered and they did it at the waist as her alterations person said it was next to impossible to get the hem right if she cut it off. My sister always felt it looked slightly off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673532 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 05:08:43 +0000 anne 1673532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So hard to think about summer right now Helen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673528 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 04:53:28 +0000 Helen11 1673528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you. Sometimes I go searching online, but that has its own drawbacks.<br /> I'm sure there's nice summer stock coming any minute now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/giving-up-on-white-jeans-and-pleated-midi#post-1673523 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 04:40:42 +0000 anne 1673523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lesson for me in not waiting too long to try out trends.<br /> I dont even know if pleated skirts look good on me because i never even tried one on and now any colour I like has sold out.<br /> And there's practically no white jeans left in shops here.<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/2011/04/19/emerging-trend-sunray-pleated-skirts/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2011/04.....ed-skirts/</a> </p>
