It sounds like you really feel more fab wearing them with some heel. If letting them out doesn't work, make them straights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983420 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:20:26 +0000 Sveta 983420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback and for therapy! Looking at the pictures I think I do prefer them with a bit of a heel&nbsp;so I am letting the hems out NOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983412 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:12:49 +0000 Vix 983412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta --</p> <p>I'm almost scared to suggest letting them out again given the luck you've had, but it seems that's what you really want to do. &nbsp;</p> <p>They did look amazing last year, and while you are tall and leggy and stylish&nbsp;enough that they do NOT look at all frumpy with flats, I feel your heart isn't in this length.</p> <p>Try the bias tape tip and if they're a *bit* short with the heeled&nbsp;sandals it's really ok. I do love a long legline but the reality is that I&nbsp;wear my pants anywhere from 3/4 to 1/2 or 1/4 inch above the floor due to slightly varying heel heights.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983393 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:51:36 +0000 Sanet 983393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had the same idea as Sarah - use bias binding to get extra length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983377 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:23:32 +0000 Nicola 983377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How frustrating for you! I don't mind them with flats at all but I do love them with a bit of a heel. Seems a shame to make them straight when they're such a nice cut. I vote let them down and see if they'll work for you. Then youll know You can always take them back up again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983375 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:22:57 +0000 Karie 983375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Treat your mother to a nice dinner out and ask her to let the hem out &nbsp;If she lets it out right away, you probably won't be left with a hem line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983365 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:11:44 +0000 sarah 983365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of letting them out OR making them straights (if she uses seam binding to finish the hem, can she let them out eve more?). I made my columnists into straights last year, because I just couldn't be bothered to be limited to wearing just one pair of shoes with my pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983352 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:02:14 +0000 rachylou 983352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your mother is gonna kill me. I think you should let them out. I feel the look needs a little heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983350 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:00:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 983350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear Sveta - I know how much you love these pants! FWIW I think they look fine with the flats and with them fitting so well, will be very comfortable to wear. I would keep and wear these. But I do like Suz's suggestion for ordering another pair if possible, to wear with higher heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983307 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 01:18:16 +0000 Suz 983307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sveta!! There is only one true solution! Order another pair, pronto!!&nbsp;</p> <p>In all seriousness, they look fab with both shoes (the wedge and the flat) in these photos. But if you are unhappy with them at this length/ with flats, then trying to let them down might be the first solution and then if that does not work, make them straights would be #2.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983305 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 01:14:55 +0000 Sona 983305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I think not being super obsessed with PPL with every pair of pants is ok Sveta. They look fab with the pictured footwear. Give yourself a break! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-are-my-white-editors-ruined#post-983301 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 01:03:13 +0000 Sveta 983301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved my white Editors last summer and wore them a lot. This summer however I wore them only once and did not feel as fab in them. At last I realized why: I cannot tuck or semi-tuck tops into them and untucked tops just don't sing to me this year. I could not tuck into them for two reasons:<br />-wide waistband and no belt loops so I cannot wear a belt with them and without a belt tucking just does not work well.<br />- I sized up to get a looser fit in white and my mom took in the waist for me. Unfortunately the way she did it ruled over any exposed top of the trousers - they just bunched too much.</p> <p>So I decided to remedy this. I undid the seams and took them to my mom to redo, Instead of taking in the waist we moved them a bit lower on the hips than before and she took in sides a bit. Because of this they became longer so we decided to hem them for 2" shoes and make belt loops out of the excess fabric.</p> <p>Well, I picked them up today - and they are too short!!! The only shoes I can wear them with are my slipper flats with 0.5" heel! :-(&nbsp; </p> <p>So here is my dilemma: should I leave them like this and wear with flats (I have 3 pars: silver, gold, grey) or let out 1.5 inch to wear with 2" heels? Do they look frumpy with flats? pic 1 is from last year with 2.5" wedge sandals, I wore these trousers the most with them. Pic 2 is how they are now with silver flats. The thing is that even if I let out the remaining hem they will be still too short for those sandals...:-( I have red pumps with 2" heel which may work though but they are not really summer shoes for me.<br />What bothers me with these flats is that the hem gets caught on the shoe vamp as I walk because it is a bit low: Me Too flats have higher vamp and don't have this problem. Maybe we can let out the hem in front a bit to make them longer&nbsp; so they come completely over the vamp?<br />Other solution can be to change them into straight legs so heel height is not that critical...<br />What do you think? Did we ruined them? The ironic thing is that they fit perfectly on top now and have belt loops...but too short! </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: I let down the hems. They are just long enough to skim the floor with my highest heels. If my mom can hem them for 0.5" I will be a happy camper :-)</p>
