Since you probably won't be wearing them for the summer anyway, how about holding them until the fall and reconsidering then?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-923159 Thu, 02 May 2013 03:29:06 +0000 DonnaF 923159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Firecracker; the pants are somewhere between a crepe and a flannel, but they drape fairly well.&nbsp; It's not just snugness in the waist, but my vanity requires my weight to be below a certain point for me to feel they look okay.&nbsp; I DO have a daughter, but college cafeteria food has her coming back from freshman year weighing more than me and bigger as well, but my waist has been smaller than hers for quite a few years.&nbsp; Hopefully, by the end of summer she will be down to her regular weight with only one chin.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922995 Thu, 02 May 2013 00:27:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 922995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's hard to tell what the fabric is like, but the silhouette looks so fab. IF they are a drapey fabric, I vote keep. If they are a stiffer twill weave, I vote donate, as that fabrication is not as on trend, and to me, it would not be as comfortable (even if the pants fit in the waist). Just my 2 pennies!<br />ETA: Oh, duh! I see you said wool. Are they a drapy wool, like a crepe, or a thicker wool like a flannel? That would influence my decision, in the directions I indicated.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922992 Thu, 02 May 2013 00:20:28 +0000 Beth Ann 922992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with Vicki --- see if a slight alteration will help you reach for them more often!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922971 Wed, 01 May 2013 23:55:12 +0000 Vicki 922971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them very much. &nbsp;Could you add some fabric to the button side&nbsp;portion of the waistband and move the button? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922920 Wed, 01 May 2013 23:01:46 +0000 Anonymous 922920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I remember pants like that! I had to go up several sizes just to get the waist to button. I'm sure there is a fashion forward way to wear these, but durned if I can figure it out. Do you have a daughter? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922902 Wed, 01 May 2013 22:49:49 +0000 rachylou 922902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As cool as they are, they don't seem to be getting a lot of wear... I'm gonna vote donate.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922874 Wed, 01 May 2013 22:30:46 +0000 DonnaF 922874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pockets are cut on a slant, and this closes via side buttons.&nbsp; Thus, it is easier to make the waist smaller which I did at one time, but the pocket opening doesn't hang right if I move the buttons over the other way.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; I weigh about the same or less than when I bought them, but it is just distributed differently!&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922720 Wed, 01 May 2013 19:37:04 +0000 missvee 922720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! They are just too much fun to pass on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922719 Wed, 01 May 2013 19:35:26 +0000 Isis 922719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love them!&nbsp; Can you let out the waist a little so you can breathe?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922669 Wed, 01 May 2013 18:51:57 +0000 Thistle 922669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are totally retro awesome!&nbsp; I think they are trend for the 80s vibe&nbsp; :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kt#post-922657 Wed, 01 May 2013 18:44:23 +0000 DonnaF 922657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok, I love these wool pants cuz they're lined and so outrageous.&nbsp; Most of the time, I can't get into them because the waistband is at my true waist.&nbsp; Which is to say I've owned these Lands End babies for around 25 years old.&nbsp; A quarter of a century.&nbsp; They are old enough for these to be P4s, and now due to size inflation they would be P2s or P0s.&nbsp; I know this photo is fuzzy, but I think it is sufficient to give you an idea of their cut.&nbsp; Should I give these babies the old heave ho, or do you think I can wear them this fall after I lose a half pound so I can keep them buttoned after lunch?<br /><br />Thank you for being honest.<br />
