It looks great! I like the print on that tee, from what I can see, and I like the pattern mix with the scarf. Not to laugh at your expense, I found your description of the pants situation pretty darned funny! Those pants may need to find another home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736742 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 17:01:27 +0000 Barbara Diane 1736742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had luck with a hot dryer. But sometimes they grow and sometimes they don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736733 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 16:55:30 +0000 kkards 1736733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>to bad the pants are a fail...the silhouette looks great on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736643 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:34:45 +0000 Angie 1736643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the outfit with the boots. Super cute. Try other pants with the look - pants that keep on growing are bad news.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736634 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:19:34 +0000 bj1111 1736634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what @Sisi said...maybe a run through the hot water wash and dry cycle may solve the problem. &nbsp;because you look fab in this new to you silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736603 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 13:45:37 +0000 El Cee 1736603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit! I empathize with you on the "growing pants" concern. That has happened to me and it is so frustrating. Staysfit's idea of belting is a good one. Some fabrics, especially the ones with a lot of lycra added, stretch out during the day no matter what you do -- making the "growing pants" problem nearly unavoidable.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736527 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 09:44:44 +0000 Sisi 1736527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how annoying. You look very pretty though. Maybe tossing the pants&nbsp;in a hot water&nbsp;cycle in the washing machine will help shrink them. So when you will wear them they will feel tight but after a few hours they will be "normal". Or just replace them and the hell with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736519 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 08:38:46 +0000 Cococat 1736519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish some of my pants would grow a bit.&nbsp; :/</p> <p>Cute outfit apart from the growing pants though.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736494 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 02:56:13 +0000 Suz 1736494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit but a shame about the pants. So frustrating. I've had some like that, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736493 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 02:45:31 +0000 shiny 1736493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the outfit with both shoe options. And HATE pants that grow too much. But hate tight / structured pants and jeans that don't stretch much at all. My apple belly life seeks a happy medium here...&nbsp;</p> <p>Staysfit has a good point: sometimes a belt can secure the pants in place enough that they still have some structure even if they bag out. Tall boots are good for "anchoring" in place at the ankles as well. Some of my favorite jeans expand throughout the day (like leggings) but still work as long as I have a belt, AND tall boots to tuck them into.</p> <p>I don't even like belts, mind you... not with my apple shape. Belted looks just don't flatter. But belts are invaluable for anchoring, which minimizes the growth factor a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736485 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 02:12:09 +0000 Jaime 1736485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit with both shoe options and you need to replace those pants pronto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736480 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 02:05:10 +0000 Aida 1736480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the pants! I like the outfit, you could certainly swap in less growthful pants and wear again. I like both footwear options; the boots are a little more cohesive, weather wise, and the loafers are a fun more trendy looking option (plus add just a little fun seasonal confusion). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736466 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 01:21:46 +0000 Bonnie 1736466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rest of the outfit works really well. Love the scarf with the top and jacket.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736465 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 01:20:17 +0000 Staysfit 1736465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad this happened because you look so darn cute! If the pants hadn't stretched in all directions I would say this was a winner outfit. I think you should hunt down a sub for the pants and try again. I like both shoe options.</p> <p>I had a pair of NYDJ ponte pants that did that. I think they were falling down and I needed a makeshift belt to hold them up! I was also tripping over the too long hem line that had stretched so low it was dragging on the ground. They are history. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-silhouette-fail-the-case-of-the-growing-pants#post-1736464 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 01:16:55 +0000 Momo 1736464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this today trying to do a slightly different silhouette .<br /> Didn't look bad at beginning of day but one hour later the pants started growing and growing and growing<br /> Thighs<br /> Waist<br /> Behind<br /> All for bigger and bigger and baggier and baggier . Kind of hysterical .<br /> Not wearing those again !</p> <p>I actually wore 1 but started with 2 with my thrift shop Gucci loafers<br /> Looking at the pics I wish I stuck with those ! </p>
