I love those pants. Have been wearing them for a couple of years. Very comfortable. I buy patites. They come in a full line of sizes in patites.

I ordered the Genie bras, and love them. I saw them advertised on the TV and ordered them on line. As far as I am concerned they are great.

I just went shopping about two weeks ago looking for pants. I was disappointed because I could not find a light weight fabric, everything was thick and seemed like they would be for winter. Have any of you noticed this?

There was a sale rack so I went to that and next to it was a rack of pants that looked nice. I tried a pair on and I was jumping for joy! The pants fit perfectly, looked great, and were comfortable! They must run large because size smaller fit better then my regular size. ;-) No zipper, no buttons just smooth comfortable fit. I ask the sales lady if they were maternity they were that comfortable. She laughed and said the store sells out of them as fast as they get them in, all the capri lengths were sold out. I wanted the full length anyway.

They come in denim and classic black, white, stone, or beige. I"m 5"3 and the petite regular short is the perfect length. The sizes 4 - 16 that I saw on the rack in the petite (short) section.

Now if I could find the perfect bra I'd be one happy lady.

I am 5' and 1/4 inch so I can sure relate. I must tell you about a bra I found that I absolutely love and that is saying a lot. It is made by Warners, 01755 and is called a Dream Bra. It is soft, fits like nothing I've ever tried. I am small busted and this bra gives me a bustline! If they ever stop making it I'm going to riot!

I'll give the Dream Bra a try but I'm not really liking the underwire thing but this may be the one that changes my mind. Thanks for the review. Oh, Warners makes Maidenform bras.

I used to love Alfred Dunner pants, but the legs are way too wide for me. I usually wear denim leggings.

This year I found real jeans with a little stretch from Gloria Vanderbilt. They actually have a zipper and button and the waist isn't hanging around my butt like most pants are nowadays. They have a nice feel to them.

I bought everything Vanderbilt this season from J.C. Penney on sale and very happy.

Isn't it awesome when you find stuff to wear that's also comfortable.

PErfect bra yeah- right. Back in the 1940s my mother was growing up in Iowa. There were 5 girls in the family all teenagers. One day their neighbor came over who was a middle aged man and spoke to their father.' You have such beautiful daughters. They are all so unique.' Finally the question of his line of work came up. ' I'm a bra designer and I just love your girls figures.' Yikes!

In regards to a comfortable bra, 2 words: PROFESSIONAL FITTING!!! God was too good to me and for years I suffered with poor fitting. I got professionally fitted and found out that I was actually 2 sizes smaller around in the band width and 3 sizes bigger in the cup. I got the item number from the very expensive bra they wanted me to buy and went home and found it on the internet for $20 cheaper. Fittings are free, take advantage of them!!!

And I wish they would take your 6" and put it on the BOTTOM of the leg (for us taller women) and the extra that they seem to HAVE to put in the crotch area and move that to the back so when I sit down I don't look like an electrician LOL!!!
