So - remember my fab reversible legging jeans with the broken zipper?

I took them back to the store. They did a bit of investigation and weren't able to get a new zipper pull because it is a unique design, unlike ordinary reversible zipper pulls.

They offered me a full refund.

But I tried the pants on again - took them on and off a bunch of times. And I am able to do so comfortably without using the zipper at all. My main concern was that it might start inching down on its own. But that doesn't seem to be happening, and in any case, it looks as if I could just sew it shut.

So on reflection, I decided to keep them. They are so comfortable that I think it's worth it. They'll be a great tucking into boots jean in the fall - they don't seem to creep down my hips the way my other legging jeans do.

Not perfect - but a reasonably happy ending!
