Victoria's Secret pants - Anthro look for less
Permalink Closed

Sorry! I don't know how to copy an image when it's flash, so here's the link. I LOVE this look from Anthro, on the model...
http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&id=820088

...but $148 is obscenely overpriced for pants made of polyester/rayon/spandex.


What are Victoria's Secret pants like in terms of fit/look/quality? I'm thinking these might make a good alternative:




They have different fits... Christie Fit, Bridget Fit, etc., but I worry about the fit. I'm very tiny, a size 0, with a sad, flat butt. I need pants that really hug my butt, not just skim it, or it ends up looking as flat as the plains of Nebraska. Anyone have any experience with VS pants? Or other inexpensive alternatives?TIA!

In my experience, VS clothing tends to run large.  I think the quality is decent for the price though, so I'd buy the narrowest style and plan on having them taken in as needed.

Have you tried Express?  The Limited?

They do run really large. I have a pair of pants from VS in a size 4 that are still a little too big, usually I take a 6 or an 8.

Express pants are too big for me. I've never bought anything from The Limited because whenever I go through their stuff, everything just looks too big :(. I might do what you said and get the VS pants and have them taken in. They're only $39.50 right now.

I'm ordering some of those too. I haven't tried them before but I figure it's worth a shot for $39!
