pants for women over 50 where to buy RTW pants
bugsnchita Beginner CA USA Member since 9/16/07 Posts: 45	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/19/09 2:21 PM I don't sew my own pants. I am not advanced enough. I am looking for advice as to where I can purchase RTW pants that fit at the waist. Hiphuggers do not work for my figure! I got some great blue jeans from the Lands End catalog online but their other styles of pants are all of the "modern" style meaning they fit well below the waist. I would love to have some light weight capris for the summer, and some casual long pants in darker colors in cotton. As for shorts I could not find anything so I got some Lands End Relaxed Fit Jeans and cut them to the knee. Very comfy. My thighs are not pretty anymore so I like to keep them covered. My new "cutoffs" cover me and fit great!

I haven't tried them on so I'm sorry I can't give a personal critique. It sounds like you created your own pants, perfect! ------ Liz thefittinglife.blogspot.com

They have several cuts and I find that they often fit fairly well. Let us know what you find! ------ Patti R-r-r-ripping my way to fitting success

I'm tall at 5'11" and low-mid rise or "modern" waist pants look and feel absurd on my long rise body. I order the Longs, but have to hem them up a little (even at 5'11"), otherwise they are dragging since I usually only wear low heeled shoes. I used to wear the Land's end pants, but they changed their fit and their pants gap too much at my waist now. Coldwater creek has a natural waist style pant, but those don't fit as well. I think they do have a policy that if you order the wrong size, they will exchange it for you at no cost. Their customer service is excellent. I am kind of close enough (30min) to a store that I could go over there, but they don't carry the Longs in the local store. ------ *Jen* If I stitch fast enough, does it count as aerobic exercise?

However, I found that their Small/Medium/Large sizes ran big while their 4/6/8 sizes ran small.
