My daughter complimented me on them, saying they looked good on me, but I only wore them a couple of times because I felt, just like Tanya says, like I was wearing a notch up from yoga pants. However since you have just had a baby I would think you can bend the rules a little bit.<br /> P.S. That little tiny shoe in the background on the last picture is sure cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27658 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:01:33 +0000 Angie 27658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm overwhelmed by their short length, I can barely focus!</p> <p>They are too loose to wear with tunics for sure, but they fit nicely around the thigh and bottom area, Anne. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27635 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:02:25 +0000 anne 27635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, yes - they are not PPL! As I said above, they were bought pre-YLF, and may have shrunk a bit. I was trying to work out if I should replicate them, and if I did, I would hem them differently</p> <p>Thanks for the link Tanya. I wonder if I prefer an even higher waistband.<br /> I so hate looking for pants! I just fitted into a pre-preggy skirt for the first time today and started thinking maybe I while just always wear skirts. But that isn't realistic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27632 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:56:50 +0000 Nicole 27632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Tanya. The fabric could still be knit with those types of thread. </p> <p>Even if they were PPL, they have a yoga pant kind of look to them, which makes them look like gear. There are a lot of high waisted pants available these days. </p> <p>How about something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=273846&#038;CategoryID=170" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....goryID=170</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27631 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:54:06 +0000 Tanya 27631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I searched aorund the web a bit and now I have a better feel for the material.</p> <p>I agree with you on higher waistband, I think that it is flattering. I think that you could achieve similar effect with a super wide waistband on classic pant that hits right under the belly button. Here is an example (please ignore the price tag):</p> <p><a href="http://shopbluegenes.com/detail.aspx?ID=5425" rel="nofollow">http://shopbluegenes.com/detail.aspx?ID=5425</a></p> <p>I think that what bothers me about the pants is the cut: they look to me as a nicer version of the yoga pants. Like something great for lounging around the house and relaxing , but not for wearing outside. Please take this with a grain of salt, I obviously do not even know how they look in reality. I guess I just prefer more structure when it comes to pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27630 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:52:48 +0000 Anonymous 27630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I can't see the bottom of the black pants, but the brown ones look way too short for Angie's PPL. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27629 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:40:31 +0000 anne 27629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for replying Tanya (and for the compliment). It isn't knit, but 95% poly 5% spandex.<br /> Angie mentioned she had a bengaline blouse or shirt recently, leading me to think it was a term understood in the US! </p> <p>I think what I really like about them is the waist firming high waistband. I do have a few doubts about them - would be interested if you could pinpoint what bothers you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27625 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:29:18 +0000 Tanya 27625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not know what a bengaline material is, is it some kind of a knit material? If that is the case, I would personally advice against them. You have a great little figure Anne and I think you deserve so much better than that.</p> <p>If they are not knitted, something about them still bothers me. I am sorry to be saying this since you obviously really like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-trousers#post-27615 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:27:40 +0000 anne 27615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was pregnant with my second child, I bought some highwaisted bengaline trousers (not maternity) that I loved and wore to death, They stretched til about 7 months and were great for the postpartum period. I tried to replicate the style with two slightly cheaper pairs. They were black and brown but I have just shown the brown pair here<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_6141.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_6141.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_6142.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_6142.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_6144.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_6144.jpg</a></p> <p>I DON"T wear them with just that white top. (I do with the black top; it is one of my easy outfits) And please excuse something weird going on with the bra.<br /> Also please disregard the blatant lack of PPL. Not only did I hem them prior to YLF, but I think they may have shrunk a little.</p> <p>I love these pants because the high waist helps to keep in my tummy (more so that the pictures show, because the waistband is a little obscured by the white top) but they are starting to develop little elastic threads in the inner seams around the crotch and thigh area.</p> <p>So my question is, if you came imagine them longer, do you think this type of pants is flattering enough for me to purchase some more?</p> <p>BTW I have also worn them the black ones with my pink tunic/dress (shown here with skinnies and generally deemed to long for them)<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/Publication1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....ation1.jpg</a></p> <p>Do you think they are too loosefitting to wear with tunics?</p> <p>Oh and here is a pic of me wearing the black pants (I've lost a bit of weight since them)<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_5372.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_5372.jpg</a> </p>
