For gear type pants - I vote for wearing them as you wish - not worrying about things like PPL. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppl-for-gear-capris#post-1678949 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 15:37:41 +0000 Peri 1678949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NO hanging upside down! Hanging around only. Walking for exercise. I might wear them for a run to the grocery store because I'm just exactly that rebellious. But, no rock-climbing or rough hiking and no heels and a party blouse either.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think missing elastic would alter the look very much. The side ruching still makes them kind of puffy in a nice way. I actually think the elastic makes them kind of pantaloon-ish unless it would be tight enough to hold them in exactly the right spot. Which I don't know where is!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppl-for-gear-capris#post-1678946 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 15:23:32 +0000 Suz 1678946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What activities will you be wearing them for, Peri? I ask because for some, that elastic might be helpful. (You don't want your pants falling down if you are upside down or something, if you know what I mean).&nbsp;</p> <p>And it sort of spoils the intent of the pant if you take the elastic out, no? But maybe that's not an issue for you -- I know that your have some issues around comfort and in this situation it definitely rules all. In which case, why not just figure what length would be most practical/ comfy for you and hem to there?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppl-for-gear-capris#post-1678943 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 15:18:48 +0000 Peri 1678943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is an unanswerable question, sorry! I tried to get pictures but I can't get the angle right and they just don't show what I need to ask about.&nbsp;</p> <p>I need to hem the capris below. On me they don't hit where they hit on the model...they hit about halfway between knee and ankle. That elastic opening is a 14 inch circumference and my calves are 13 inches at the widest point, so even if they were shorter I'd still have to do something about the elastic. Plus with the ruched sides I think if the elastic fits they puff out too much.&nbsp;</p> <p>So...total gear, not trying to reopen the Capri discussion, is there a PPL for bottoms like this? Should I hem to about where they hit on the model and just ditch the elastic? I don't want elastic around my calves anyway. Showing one photo to show why I can't get a good photo! </p>
