Not sure if that makes them more or less functional for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457277 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 20:41:22 +0000 bj1111 457277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cigarette pant, no cuff. wear with mens style button-down shirt and sparkly shoes. very audrey hepburn. you will rock it with your body shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457271 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 20:34:16 +0000 Mo 457271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee Rita - 2004 or so - Una had it with her 7 years timeframe I'm still hedging toward alter - nothing to lose, and I think cigarette satin pants could rock! </p> <p>The BF really had a bad reaction to my idea of sequin tank and red jeans. I did wear them out with him with the white v neck tee and all was grand. So baby steps to the red/sequin pairing! Maybe New Year's Eve </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457265 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 20:29:50 +0000 modgrl 457265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I'm still waiting to see you rock your red jeans with the sequined striped shirt before you start making alterations on these. I'm kinda thinking they are dated. I can date them to the late 90's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457230 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:45:58 +0000 Heather 457230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only $20 to transform those trousers?! Lawd, I am mailing all my alterations to your tailor!!</p> <p>p.s. Tsk, tsk....I know you could do waaaaay better than $50-$100. ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457227 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:43:41 +0000 Mo 457227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather, can I be honest that I'd rather gamble $20 on a $10 pair of pants than hunt down a new $50 or $100 pair? I know, I know, quality over quantity, but there's also waste not want not lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457224 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:40:35 +0000 Heather 457224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina, I think you could find a much better pair versus altering these. Let the hunt commence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457220 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:37:37 +0000 Mo 457220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, that's a perfect description - functional but not very exciting. Perhaps that's why I haven't reached for them for some time. Incidentally, I do have some velvet Express Editor pants that fill the black trouser spot in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457217 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:33:00 +0000 rae 457217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worth a shot, if the alteration is not expensive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457209 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:08:52 +0000 Queen Mum 457209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"d definitely give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457203 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:58:45 +0000 catgirl 457203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do it and put a little cuff IF the cost is not more than what the pants were worth. As is they are functional but not very exciting. </p> <p>I had a lot of this style of pants about 7 years ago, and while they are not out of style, they're just sort of meh to me now, and the length is off now that I know about PPL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turning-wide-legs-into-cigarette-pants-yn#post-457198 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:51:46 +0000 Mo 457198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>am deep in closet mode today, hence the PJ top still. Ignore that. Also please ignore my terrible pinning skills. I leave this type of work to the professionals!<br /> I have had these matte satin pants for several years and quite like them, but find I don't wear them that often. I had the idea to make them cigarette pants in a sort of mock-tuxedo look. What do you think? To be clear, I will go to a seamstress to get them pinned and tailored without all the puckering! Also, would you put a small cuff on the bottom? Thanks for your time and opinions!</p> <p>yay - tailor and get new life out of these!<br /> nay - they are fine as is, you might screw them up narrowing them </p>
