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.

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!!

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!
