Jersey Ankle Lantern Pants

The basic Lantern pant design is extremely flattering to all sized women. You have a winner, but your redesigns just dont work. After having tried the lantern pants with 29% recycled nylon fabric (stiff and scratchy and doesn't flow) and oversized legs, I thought I found the perfect pair in the stretch knit version. However, I received a lantern pant with really great tencel fabric but at least 10 inches of extra fabric at the bottom. No problem, I'll pay to have shortened. Then I noticed the extra panel on the sides. If I shorten, I'll lose the taper and the cost to keep the taper means re-doing the entire side panel. Now I'm into paying for an entire re-tailoring. Then I noticed the pockets. Instead of a slanted pocket on the side seam, that middle side panel has put the pocket in front, so that when I use the pocket, my hands are in my crotch and if I use the pockets, when I sit down I now have lumps in my crotch and down my front legs. Why cant you just make the basic lantern pant in a pencil knit fabric? Regular slash pockets on a regular seam? No extra side seam, no ugly, useless front pockets, no stiff fabric with 62% tencel and 29% recycled nylon that doesn't flow? And who needs all that extra fabric in the legs? No one! Its a trend that doesn't flatter anyone that isn't 6 ft plus.

I bought these months ago now. The fit is so flattering. The material is lightweight, so there is some movement which looks great in a wider leg pant, IMO. Plus, the leg 9n these seems less wide than some of the other lantern styles this year. I ordered m6 regular EF pant size in these and in other lantern styles I have had to size down. Just LOVE these pants. They are a little more casual than polished IMO because of the fabric. Yo7 can live in them!
