Your currently non-existent fantasy item?

Not something you have found but can't afford or justify. I'm talking about something that doesn't exist right now to your knowledge.

I want someone to come out with some deep green velvet slouchy skinny pants along the lines of my Zara camo harem pants.

Do tell - what perfect item(s) would you create right now if you could?

Warm comfortable snow boots that are cute, waterproof, hard-wearing, have good traction, and are easy to get on and off.

ETA: And leather knee-high boots to fit 17" calves - in cognac ;-).

An afghan coat that is clean & my size. I don't think they are made anymore or maybe just not available in the west anymore. Not sure we really trade with Afghanistan but a knock off would be ok.

Footwear that can convert from flats to heels - snap on/off heels and lock/unlock sole shape. With the sole shape in mind it's probably most feasible with a wedge heel.

Girl X, there was a company that developed a changeable heel height shoe. I had a pair that went from a standard pump to a kitten heel.

I want a wool oversized coat or cocoon coat that's not black and under $1000.

Elle, you are so sweet:
These are the ideal specs:
at least 15" calf circumference
16" length
all leather, black, no synthetic, no suede, no elastic insets
Little or no detailing. No buckles on top ( It ruins my hose when I cross my legs).
No pull on ( I no longer like the look of a loose ankle)
Side or back zipper only, it can be partial zipper
as flat as possible
Size 8

The holy grail, really!

Easy: Ski boots that feel comfortable!

Ok, ok. Not really a fashion item but something I wish existed.

Also, what Linda said (but in deep purple).

For more than a decade, it was women's boots that fit... Now it's a fitted jacket that actually fits. Or trousers that fit my waist and my hips and my thighs, all in the same pair.

I bought a wee "Afghan" coat like that for my five-year-old sister in the bazaar in Istanbul, way back when. :o) She was so cute in it.

A knee length fit and flare wintercoat that is warm and weatherproof, stylish and cool and fits me perfectly. Oh and it should be in a flattering color and cost less than 200€.

Gloves (leather winter gloves) that fit me.

I'm missing bones in my hands that make my pinkies shorter than normal. And gloves are always to big for my hands because of it. It drives me crazy!

Anyone know of any place that I can order custom-fit leather gloves?

Ready-made pants that come in various inseam lengths. Men's pants are that way. Why do we women have to settle for short, regular or tall, or for petite or regular?

A.Kiernan, I've seen places on ebay that will do custom finger length.

Probably the same as Zapotee....a completely flat black knee high boot, with a perfectly fitted leg...so hard to find.

Oh, leather gloves that fit too! They are always too long in the fingers, and my fingertips freeze.

Thanks for the link, Una, I will look into it. Hope it's affordable.

JR, these look pretty reasonable to me for custom gloves!

Thanks for the link! I'll check it out when I get home. Work blocks eBay, much to my dismay.

Don't they realize I would be much more productive if I could get my shop on every once in a while? *snort*

Oh JR you reminded me of fit issues. I need jeans that fit my 8 shape body & hide muffin top. I get it even in oversized jeans. I need higher rise but not super high, that is wide enough for my high hip.

And tailored clothes that can change size as your weight fluctuates. Only casual items like leggings, yoga pants & stretchy camis do that. I hate how the slightest weight change also changes my pant length too. Skinnies are so much easier for this reason.

Silk T-shirts in neutrals and jewel tones with V-necks, in silky silk with that sheen not silk chiffon, cut to have a tailored fit rather than baggy or tight, with short sleeves. I've wanted Ts like this for years.

Great question!

Non-VPL panties.

Una, they do indeed! I am just trying to figure out what I would tell him/her I wanted. I have so little experience with this.

That is a good one Ironkurtin. There are none that stay that way all the time under yoga pants. The lazer cut thongs do for a bit & then bunch up because they are too loose. If not loose then there would be bulge.
