Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am hugely resistant to the ginormous panel-pants, yet I concur. They are ridiculously comfortable. I have some that I got from Burrell. I do like the under-the-belly ones though as I can and do wear them with regular shirts. And I have several regular pants that I wear unbuttoned and occasionally unzipped with what is essentially a tube top covering the gap.
Sigh.
In reality, I just wear a lot of drawstring yoga pants and pajama pants.
I kinda want to write to old navy and ask if they are on crack when it comes to sizing?
Is $11 a representative price for gimlets?
Seems about right, maybe a little expensive to me. But then, I order Grey Goose, and I live in DC. I expect to pay between $8-$10, depending on the percieved chi-chi-ness of the bar.

If you decide to go that route, Kat, please mention my t-shirt issue.
HA!
Dear Old Navy,
1. What's up with your sizing-on-crack? How can the exact same style vary so widely within the same size? Can you please explain how that happens?
2. What's up with every shirt being 10 inches longer than necessary?
Thanks,
eta just sent it!
I can't believe Old Navy is so brazen that they just pin their clothes to the mannequins to simulate actual tailoring or fittedness. They don't fit like that!
bon, there are SO MANY stores that do that. Here's a hint.... buy models that are "size X", and then put size X clothes on it. Gah.
Kat is my hero!
oh, yeah, Bon. I wrote a NASTY letter to Lane Bryant about that.
I haven't had problems with ON sizes in the same exact item, but across items? OMG.
Anything that says "stretch" and isn't jeans will fit like it's at least a size (perhaps two) larger than the label. Things that are 100% cotton will fit reasonably true to size. Things that are jeans will vary across styles, with the "curvy" cut, weirdly, feeling tighter/truer to size than the "regular" cut.
In stretch, I have to go down to an 8. Anything else, most of the 10s fit fine. Get up to 12, and I risk them falling off my ass when I walk up stairs.
