Maybe it is because of pleats in front. Hmmm - *have to post a photo another time to get a second opinion* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linnen-trouses-for-petite-apple-shape#post-583016 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:22:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 583016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harmonica - they were completely flat and straight. Definitely no pleats - not good on my body shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linnen-trouses-for-petite-apple-shape#post-583015 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:22:10 +0000 harmonica 583015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith1953: Linnen blend - what a great idea! I have decided not to care about wrinkles, but a blend would certainly be the best of two worlds. Very happy for the comment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linnen-trouses-for-petite-apple-shape#post-583014 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:20:16 +0000 harmonica 583014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Transcona Shannon: Condolences to your linnen trousers. Sounds like a very good choice - midrise, wide waistband and lined. </p> <p>How about pleats? Where they stright down in front or any pleats in front? I can imagine that pleats can be difficult because adding more volume where I want strightness or flat, but inverted pleats might work, or? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linnen-trouses-for-petite-apple-shape#post-582839 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:59:45 +0000 Meredith1953 582839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ManidipaM,<br /> The cut that Shannon is describing sounds perfect. A linen blend would help decrease wrinkling. Can you simply have some trousers made? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linnen-trouses-for-petite-apple-shape#post-582826 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:43:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 582826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Years ago, I had a beautiful pair of white fully lined linen trousers for summer - they were mid rise with a fairly wide waist band and then fell straight down from the hip. I loved those pants and they were flattering for a petite apple like myself. Unfortunately they died a couple of years go and I haven't been able to find a pair since. Of course linen wrinkles like crazy so you have to be comfortable with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linnen-trouses-for-petite-apple-shape#post-582768 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:12:12 +0000 harmonica 582768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last summer I added linnen trousers to my wish list. In my mind I imagined the light and cool feeling of linnen and I thought if I could find a pair of trousers that looks ok, even with wrinkles, I would be happy. I don't have any hurry to find it, but if I accidentially see some linnen trousers out there, I'd like to know what to look for.</p> <p>BUT I have no clue what shape to look for or what I should avoid. I just know that I don't like trousers too wide because they seem to make me look smaller (which I really dont need!) And I like some support to avoid muffin top.</p> <p>Hight 158 cm = 5 feet 2 inch (petite size?)<br /> Weight 61 kg = 134 ibs</p> <p>Bust 87 cm = 34,3 inch<br /> Below bust 78 cm = 31,5 inch<br /> Waist 80cm = 31,5 inch<br /> Hips 97 cm = 38,2 inch</p> <p>Do you have any suggestions? </p>
