I tought.. oh.. not 100% but so cheap! Now I only buy what it's 100% perfect! </p> <p>Aida,<br /> Here in Portugal this tailor work costs about 5€ (hems and sew the pockets). Outside the sales season many stores offer this service for free! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286902 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 01:33:06 +0000 Lisa 286902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cannot wait to see these on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286722 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:42:47 +0000 Aida 286722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much does this type of tailoring work usually cost? Hem, waist band darts, sewing pockets shut, those things. Don't tell anyone but I haven't had any of my clothes altered </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286541 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:49:24 +0000 Lynne 286541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I cannot wait to see these! Rute and MaryK, "Charlie" was my first thought when I saw the thumbnail :)</p> <p>I must take some lessons in sales shopping - I have come to the conclusion (based on hard evidence) that sales are when I make mistakes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286353 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 09:53:07 +0000 Louise 286353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see them x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286350 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 09:42:02 +0000 rute 286350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Svete,<br /> Lovely pants! I asked also to sew the pockets I'm not sure how wide.. did not measure, but it covers my shoe..<br /> Dashrashi,<br /> Great idea! to move the pins down!<br /> CocoLion,<br /> Great Ideia! It might be one of the problems.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286242 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:31:00 +0000 Sveta 286242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, I cannot wait for the pictures! How wide are the hems?<br /> I have also bought wide leg pants last week and they also in alterations now (hem, waist, also sew the pockets closed and add belt loops out of pocket lining :0)<br /> As for the hem I asked not to cut it off so if it is the wrong length it can be changed.<br /> I have attached the picture here. It is too bad I cannot wear them until all snow is gone - so for another 2 month!:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286203 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 03:38:41 +0000 CocoLion 286203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab pants, can't wait to see them!</p> <p>I work out the hem myself in advance, then tell the seamstress the exact specifications (as inseam lengths). Or I pin them and tell her to hem as pinned.</p> <p>However my seamstress once sewed mine 1/2 inch too short, that was asking for a European hem on jeans, I think she did the math wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286197 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 03:27:19 +0000 Dashrashi 286197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, every tailor I've ever used has apparently had the same problem. What I've been doing lately is letting them pin it where they want to (after a few rounds of "No, longer," "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure") and then going back to the dressing room and moving the pins down. I have no idea why they always come out too short otherwise, but since I've been doing this, I've gotten inseams I'm happy with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286124 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:36:13 +0000 anne 286124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great Rute and I think they will suit you to a tee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286023 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 22:28:37 +0000 AJ 286023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, I can't wait to see this on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-286022 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 22:26:39 +0000 Aida 286022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope they come out perfectly Rute! This is the type of pant my mom wore in the 70s and it's really lovely looking, you have a similar style to her so I know they'll look great on you!</p> <p>Mary, those ads are neat! I so SO want the plaid pants in the second one, holy cow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-285946 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 21:00:55 +0000 catgirl 285946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend and I were just talking about Charlie and how it was THE perfume at one point...

The whole look reminds me of the "Charlie" cologne ads from the 70s: <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ek5O2C3F5aY/TSiTBOFWshI/AAAAAAAAB3k/I2CIRNWX2QM/s1600/Hack+in+Charlie+Revlon+Ad.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ek5O.....lon+Ad.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OhyD-HGWNLI/TLkPmBCSTcI/AAAAAAAABQo/fHq9zxTxRJg/s1600/Shelley+Charlie.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OhyD.....harlie.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-285798 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:53:12 +0000 rae 285798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are pretty cool -- I hope they come out how you want them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-just-found-my-wide-leg-high-waist-pants#post-285774 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:16:53 +0000 rute 285774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sales! I have just found with 70% off on massimo dutti a similar pair of these Chloé pants (in brown)!<br /> They look great!<br /> I get them to the tailor to hem, but I'm nervous because I always say I want the hem to cover the shoe and she always manage to cut it shorter.. Hope not this time!<br /> I'm planning to style them like the Chloé photo: </p>
