I have a hard time filling them out (plus they are often too short for my liking) - and I am sick of fitted sheaths.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490457 Tue, 12 May 2015 04:49:00 +0000 Anonymous 1490457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a toss-up between trousers and dresses. I'm too flat-bottomed for trousers. They bag horribly like I'm wearing a dirty diper. Dresses...too big on top if the bottom fits and too short. I'm short waisted too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490417 Tue, 12 May 2015 02:39:13 +0000 Jaime 1490417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just for some variety: button down tops. I want to but it is very tricky indeed to not pull, not emphasize what I prefer to obfuscate and not look like a brick in the process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490397 Tue, 12 May 2015 00:52:31 +0000 Lucy 1490397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah Thistle, more unrequited love with trousers here too. Weird that I can find jeans quite easily, but trousers! I am short and even the petite ranges are still too long in the rise, giving a weird bunching effect that is&nbsp;both uncomfortable and unflattering! &nbsp;After some good finds in the 90s with hipsters, it's been a drought for a long time. A few years ago I stopped bothering - so much time to find the right pair.&nbsp;&nbsp; But every now and then I have a hankering.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490394 Tue, 12 May 2015 00:42:23 +0000 Janet 1490394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trousers and dresses. Like Karie, when I find a pair of pants that actually fits the hips and thighs of doom without bagging out in the butt and waist, AND the rise is not too high, they're too short in the inseam. And dresses all too often are too big in the top if they fit in the hips, and 90% of the dresses I see that appeal to me are too short for my body and my preferences.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490352 Mon, 11 May 2015 22:51:24 +0000 freeda 1490352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amen sister, just put jeans in place of pants.</p> <p>I should just move someplace warmer and wear skirts exclusively forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490339 Mon, 11 May 2015 22:36:47 +0000 unfrumped 1490339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The perfect trouser is always the Holy Grail.<br />But dresses are actually harder--I can be in a sea of hundreds of dresses and not one fits/works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490333 Mon, 11 May 2015 22:28:52 +0000 Peri 1490333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses for me. I have so much trouble finding one I like, look okay in and feel happy in. Pants are hard too but dresses are a mostly fail so far.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490313 Mon, 11 May 2015 21:08:03 +0000 Karie 1490313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it's pants for me too. They always do this weird smiling thing in the butt. The sides bunch up, the waistband sags down, it's totally hideous. Then, when I FINALLY find a pair that fits correctly, they're too short. GHAH!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490306 Mon, 11 May 2015 20:47:31 +0000 Sal 1490306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes me too Thistle. I can't get the waist, butt and hips right, then in combination with the length. I am sure that is why ankle pants have become so popular!!</p> <p>I won't be updating my classic work trousers this year due to budget, they are a great colour and almost right.....but the length does not work with all my shoes and at certain times of the month they pull across the tummy. </p> <p>I could help you out Suz, come for a visit down under! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490300 Mon, 11 May 2015 20:14:41 +0000 Suz 1490300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My unrequited love seems to be mid-weight fabrics of all kinds, outfits that consist of a pair of pants (or dress, or skirt) with a shirt and a jacket as topper, plus shoes and bag. For how many days in any year do I get to dress thus? Possibly 12. Possibly 30. Possibly 5. It all depends on the weather gods.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, I get at least 100 days of skinnies tucked into snow boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>And 60 or more days where a linen tee shirt feels like too much to wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490266 Mon, 11 May 2015 18:30:23 +0000 Anonymous 1490266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants. &nbsp;It will always be pants for the exact reasons you mention.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490263 Mon, 11 May 2015 18:28:29 +0000 Ledonna N. 1490263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I here you I try to maintain my lovely size 16/18 figure but, If I walk past sugar&nbsp; there it goes all the alterations for my pants denim down the expensive drain.&nbsp; </p> <p>My bane seem to be Dresses.&nbsp;&nbsp; Oh how I love them but I have not seen the love returned.&nbsp; I know my perfect one is out there for my price point and my shoulders and my challenging figure.</p> <p>Oh what dreams may come.&nbsp; I will find the perfect day dress someday.&nbsp; Its almost like finding the perfect partner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-unrequited-love---trousers#post-1490256 Mon, 11 May 2015 18:12:10 +0000 Thistle 1490256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See, I love pants. They just don't love me back. They are great for work, let me blend into my male dominated workplace, and they provide an ease that can't be beat.</p> <p>But, finding ones that fit and flatter, well, that's a HEWI, isn't it? And once you do, off to the tailor to shorten them. And then, you lose or gain just a bit of weight . . . and the fit is all off again, and the hems are too short or long again!!</p> <p>Pants, where's the love?!? (My skirts are totally cackling evilly, just waiting to replace the pants once it is warm enough. Which it will be. Eventually).</p> <p>What's your unrequited love?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
