Slit Back Slim Crop Pants

For years I wore EF washable stretch crepe pants and loved them. The leg was slim, and even though I am short, the ankle length fit me perfectly as a regular length pant. I am still wearing several of those, although some are on their last legs, so to speak. But a couple of years ago everything changed: the legs on the new ones were wider and longer. They were too long and looked dumpy. I kept trying new versions to no avail. Why is the Eileen Fisher company changing what was perfect?(I'm still mourning the loss of my perfect viscose jersey leggings; in fact the loss of viscose jersey altogether.) I'm an optimist. I saw the slim leg cropped ones on line and thought, "they are a slim leg and 26" inseam. Maybe they will fit me." No. If they had a 26" inseam, they might have fit, but it was 27", with an extra long rise. I'm returning them.
