Eva, it turns out I can't even speak my own language--the term isn't "cheeky" it's "wedgie". Eek! That's such an uncomfortable feeling I can't believe a manufacturer would want it on their product. Here is one post about such pants.
https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....experiment Really, I don't need to feel like the fabric is cracking my backside open, would be happy to find bootcut jeans that do for my backside the same thing these black Esprit pants do. Thanks for the other terms!
Thanks Astrid! I'll use "ausgestellt" at first, maybe "bootcuts" later on. Otherwise people hear the English word and start speaking English with me, I get annoyed because I think they're saying my German isn't good enough and their English is better (even though anyone I've said that to claims it isn't what they meant). A situation I'd rather avoid.
My son and I have been to Frau Tran! After the debacle with my dress, we went up there to have his school pants taken in. After a quick phone call to see how late they were open (she spoke maybe 6 words), I thought she was maybe Austrian, but NOPE. I have to laugh because bitd there were always Vietnamese guys plying the street under Schönhauser Allee U-Bahn selling illegally imported cigarettes for cheap. Not a sign of them these days--but Frau Tran is just a couple hundred meters away. Thanks for the recommendation. It took quite a while to get them done, because the shop has turned into a mask factory with huge stacks of pieces of masks in every stage, stacked in every possible space, including neat rows on the floor. But schools are reopening and he has his pants, which fit perfectly.
