I won't be wearing them now for a while because it's still too warm here, but once I start, I'll let you know.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know I've washed my (similar) Theory pants and I used to wash the Gap pants. My experience with both of those was minor <b>apparent</b> shrinkage when first putting them on, but instant easing out to former proportions. I did press them -- I think the steam iron helps ease the fibres a bit, maybe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545907 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:18:20 +0000 Elizabeth P 1545907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, if you can remember, can you report back on washing these, when you do? There was a long thread about htis some time ago, and those that washed Sloans seemed to have to go through major contortions with the drying of them.&nbsp; I have several pairs, and if I could not dry clean them, I'd love that.&nbsp; I probably should try with a pair that are "replaceable" but I'm too nervous to risk it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545897 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:59:34 +0000 Suz 1545897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b>, my solution to the dry cleaning instructions is simply to ignore them. Truly. The <b>ONLY</b> items I dry clean or have professionally cleaned are:&nbsp;</p> <p>Leather jackets or items with real leather trim.&nbsp;<br />Wool coats.<br />Woven wool blazers.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>EVERYTHING </b>else in my closet, whatever the tag says, I either wash in the machine or wash by hand. These trousers won't be any exception. I will wash in cold, hang to dry, and iron them. And I'll bet they come out just fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hahaha, on the gap -- <b>Elizabeth</b> -- me, too! Well, truth is, if I wanted to wear these as PANTS vs. LEGGINGS, I could probably have stood to go up another size in these Sloans as well, in which case I would have had "gappage" again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545890 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:49:54 +0000 Elizabeth P 1545890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score!<br />Love the pants and the vest, and love love love them together.&nbsp; </p> <p>I am a huge Sloan fan, and tried these on a year or two ago, and couldn't get into them either.&nbsp; They felt so small I couldn't bring myself to size up - I felt like I'd need to go up two sizes.&nbsp; I made a comment to them about it when I returned them, and they said Sloan was a fabric, not a fit, which makes no sense at all considering they call it "sloan fit".&nbsp; Sigh.</p> <p>Oh, and I also used to have the 2-3" gap at my waist.&nbsp; I surrendered it. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545888 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:47:34 +0000 Anonymous 1545888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Suz. I really like the look of these and they will work great for your style. Do you have any concerns about having to dry clean a garment meant to be worn more casually? The reason I ask is because I tend to wear my casual clothes "harder." As a consequence, I wash them far more often. Sometimes I clean them after a single wearing. I would be going to and from the dry cleaner constantly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545886 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:46:10 +0000 viva 1545886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this look on you, Suz. </p> <p>I shudder at side-zip pants, though. I tried on JCrew's Minnie pants, once, and I almost ran screaming from the store. They transformed my body into something very odd looking and were a terrible fit. Now I am wondering if it was the rise? Maybe the rise is even more important in a side-zip pant? So this makes me think (1) i need to understand rise, and (2) I need to, perhaps, try on another pair of side-zip pants, one day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545865 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:00:04 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1545865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total win for you Suz. &nbsp;The pants are great and that vest should be a versatile piece for you. &nbsp;Grey is a great neutral on you. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have the same fit issues with BR pants. &nbsp;I can size up and they still don't seem to fit me. &nbsp;I gave up a few years ago even though I know others who are hourglass shaped who made them work. &nbsp;It might be a combination of hourglass and wider but flat bum that does me in. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545862 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 10:48:27 +0000 lyn67 1545862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want that vest!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545838 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 07:09:37 +0000 Deborah 1545838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you could never insult me ;).

I like angies idea about a chunkier necklace - maybe a long pendant?

They look great! And the vest is a great combination of oversized but structured, and I can see it working well with your other pants as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545711 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 01:34:00 +0000 Sveta 1545711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great Suz. The vest was definitely a happy find at Winners and should be very useful in your work-from-home capsule.<br />Darn it, I ordered these pants in MY size so most likely they are going back. Oh well, maybe it is for the better as I already have black straight pants and black ponte leggings....but I wish I thought about sizing up before </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545698 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 01:04:30 +0000 Anonymous 1545698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, no thanks . I already have some kind of horrible menopause lower belly thing going on that I can't control. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545692 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:58:33 +0000 Suz 1545692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! Okay, thanks, <b>Angie.</b> I think my mind went straight to Audrey Hepburn and Laura Petrie with the term "cigarette" pants. A sort of very slim tapered look. (Which I adore, by the way). But which these pants don't really replicate. However, if a cigarette can be tight, these are a cigarette!&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>Lisa</b>, the cure for your problem (and <b>Carter</b>'s) is to grow a semi-apple belly. Ha! I never thought I would be happy to become more rectangular than I used to be, but it has made fitting clothes remarkably easier.&nbsp;</p> <p>And now to search for the right chunky necklace. &nbsp;;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah/page/2#post-1545686 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:53:17 +0000 Angie 1545686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cigarette pants can be very tight, Suz.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah#post-1545676 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:40:04 +0000 Jaime 1545676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new vest! Pants look like the perfect essential. Excellent outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah#post-1545674 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:38:31 +0000 Anonymous 1545674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And this is precisely my issue with them. Carter, you hit the nail on the head. It wasn't even one size up that would possibly solve it, it was like 2 or 3 and then they were so off that it wasn't worth it. Stupid pants &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz - that's how half of my jeans &nbsp;and pants are on me : &nbsp;sticking out 3 inches at the waist . Super attractive, I know :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah#post-1545663 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:25:27 +0000 carter 1545663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! You DO get it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah#post-1545658 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:20:10 +0000 Suz 1545658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I get it, Carter. I used to have the waist issue, too, but am rectangular enough now that it is less of a problem for me. During my 20s I just assumed that all trousers stuck out about 3 inches from your waist if they would go on your hips... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah#post-1545656 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:17:50 +0000 carter 1545656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cigarette pant is exactly what I'm hoping for. Fingers crossed.</p> <p>It's my rear/lower hip circumference and the back rise that generally mess up the fit of these pants on me. If I size up more than a size the waist is huge and the legs get looser than I'd like. I can't stand to have the waist taken in on pants, because all that does is make my hips explode in the silhouette.</p> <p>I loved the Hampton fit at BR, but they've discontinued it. It's been awhile since I've tried a Sloan, so maybe they do indeed have different cuts from time to time. Hoping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leggings-my-way-thanks-gayleneand-suz-does-deborah#post-1545655 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:04:03 +0000 Word Lily 1545655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I would, except it looks like I need to lose another size or two before they'll fit me. But thanks for the encouragement! :)</p>
