Banana Republic Drapey Pants

Aquamarine

I am thinking of ordering these pants...40% off sale this weekend. Does anyone know how they run? The reviewers say smaller than expected (except for one person) but I am unsure. I don't want baggy butt I guess I am wondering how they would fit compared to the Athleta Prima Capri....same company, right?

Also, educate me on how long these should be...would you want them at the ankle, or a bit longer? I am 5'4" and would usually get a 32 inseam for length but the regular in these is a 29 inseam.

I have no experience with the fit on these, but I am almost the same height/inseam as you, and for this style of pant I think a 29 is just about right. Remember that the cuff needs to sit at your ankle (it won't go lower) so a longer length will just cause the fabric above to balloon out too much. Also, since the crotch is usually slightly dropped in this type of style, the correct inseam length will be correspondingly shorter.

I tried these on last week - and they were fine, but ended up buying a super cheap pair at another store that were exactly the same, plus had a few more design details. At 40 off though, these are a good buy. These were fairly roomy, and I think I tried on my usual size - which never matters at BR as everything fits completely differently from the next piece there:) They'll be plenty long enough on you - they were fine on me and I'm an inch taller than you.

what Diana said. i do have the turner pant from jcrew in black petite 4. i could have used a size down but it has good slouch. full length, it sits at the hip and goes to my cover my ankle. i cuff up twice and wear at the low hip then it hits me above the ankle and is slouchier.

Thanks for the advice...I placed the order for the regular length, size 6. Unfortunately, it's on back order until November so it will be a while before I can see if I made the right choice. It's not available in stores, according to the website.

Let me know how they fit. I like them! I'm only 5' 2" tall and have somewhat long legs for a petite, though, so I don't know how long they'd be on me.
