Eddie Bauer's "Blakely Fit"

[juldea]

Eddie Bauer has decided that women shaped like me might want pants that fit, so they have come up with a new style, "Blakely fit." They are described as having a full size difference between the waist and the hips/thighs - i.e. the waist of a 6 and the hips/thighs of a 8.

omg, pants for me!!

I am excited about this, and want to encourage them to make more pants in this style. The obvious capitalist course is to buy a pair.

The problem being that after shipping and all, they're $60. :P I normally have to talk myself into spending $20 on a pair of pants... <3 thrift stores.

I guess I just have to wait for them to go on clearance... I consider this concept to be worth $30, but not $60. I just hope I'm not the ONE PERSON who doesn't get them and therefore they decide not to make any more pants like this, ever.

I understand about sizing. I'm thankful that capri's were invented, otherwise I'd have to hem all my pants!

While I can understand this feeling, I loathe capris, and I really wish that they weren't so "in-style" right now. I need pants that are longer, not shorter!!

you must be tall! i'm short. :( i'm only 5 feet tall. :) opposite end of the spectrum lol

Yah, I'm with anitra on pants length. I'm six feet tall, and it's a right bitch to find pants long enough for me. Even ones too big around (and I'm not skinny!) are usually too short. Waaaaah!

I think I accidentally deleted the e-mail with your Paypal info. So, you should send it to me again (cherub_rock_daydream@yahoo.com).

There's an Eddie Bauer outlet near my home. I'll drop by and see if they have them for cheap.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU.

I could paypal you for them or something :)

[sjo.livejournal.com]

Let's see if they even have them, and then I'll worry about money. What size do you wear, and what color(s) would you like?

[sjo.livejournal.com]

They don't have them at the outlet just yet, more's the pity.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Well... I'll wait I guess. Thanks though. :)

Go to www.clevermoms.com and look up Eddie Bauer. Click through to their site from a provided link, and see if it works, then. If not, let me know, so I can notify the site. Good luck!!

It didn't work then... but I clicked on the "this is expired" button so hopefully they know!

I second the Eddie Bauer Outlet recommendation.

I picked up three pairs of jeans for $45 at one in 2003, though I don't think there's a store near me now or I'd offer to go. (I'll ask Vogon, since he's more likely to know.)
