Go get fitted by someone really good. I think mine is Le Mystere - it was SO TOUGH to find one that worked, and it wasn''t cheap, but so VERY worth it

I don''t know if they are up there, but the lingerie ladies at Nordstrom''s are always lovely here
Did Gap have any slim-cut capris? I had a pair from Banana Republic a couple of summers ago - they were a very simple, slim-cute design, with a wide waistband and completely non-gaping legs (they were tapered to fit the leg perfectly) but they got too big when I lost weight - I really would love to find more of those, ''cause I think they''d be adorable with the cute flowy blouses and fun wedge shoes I''m seeing now.

I am finding the same thing, Sharon, and as a tall woman I cannot do super short hemlines. Isn''t there a correlation between hemlines and the economy? I''ll have to do a search for an article on that and post it somewhere, but I''m pretty sure that when spending is out of style hemlines go down, and when it''s in they go up--or maybe I have that switched around.
My only buys this season are super cheap and trendy additions to the classic pieces in my wardrobe that I had already splurged on within the last 5 years. No more uber expensive jeans, no more ''just because'' fun designer tops, etc. The local Maurices(like The Buckle, a store that caters to rural America) provides me with plenty of fashion excitement on the cheap. God knows I have plenty of clothing even though I''m a clotheshorse, but now it''s time to pare down and ride out this ridiculous recession. Thanks PQ for posting this thread!
I''ve been looking for the same thing - slim cropped or ankle pants. I''m finding a few, but I need/want them a little relaxed in the ol'' rear end area!Date: 3/30/2009 8:36:22 PM

AG: The Gap cotton capris were not tapered. Wider than I wanted--same with the BR. I did like the lower rise and wider waistband, but will still look for a narrower cut. I may cut some skinny pants if I cnanot find what I want. I am looking for black and maybe a taupe--both which BR and Gap had. Gap price point was a draw. Oddly enough, all the preminum denim I tried were a narrow fit.
cheers--Sharon

Found David Kahn slim crop jeans at Nordy''s, 158.00 ouch. But they fit...
Macy''s Inc. has a slim ankle pant
I think J Crew does, but it''d be too low cut for me. Pity.
Can''t remember what I found at BR, guess nothing since I can''t remember, ha ha!
Today in the dressing room at Nordy''s I asked another shopper her opinion of the David Kahn cropped pants. We talked for a few minutes
and she disclosed she was 60. I almost fell over, this woman was gorgeous and didn''t even look 50, but still looked very natural. I''m finding the older
I get the more ''ok''s'' I need about what I''m buying. Anyone else do this?
Sharon, where did you find the Tribal label? They sound exactly what I''m looking for.Date: 4/2/2009 10:04:07 AM

The cropped pants I bought were from the label ''Tribal'' and altho they are not quite as short as I wanted them (right above the ankle)--they are flat panel, slightly lower rise, and narrow. Best fit of all I tried and they had many colors but I bought a dark navy. Not expensive either --$60 Can and I got a discount of 30% (Spring Sale).
Shopping forages a bond b/t women--gotta ''high five'' who ya meet in the dressing rooms!
