question about Express pants

Vanessa · Kate Spade

The correspondents have a higher rise than the editors for example, and they've also got a trouser leg so they are more generously cut. The tag line for them is "Curvy Sexy", so from that I infer that they're meant to fit curvier bodies. Also, they run big, bigger than the editors. I really like that trouser style actually and wish those pants would fit me because they come in some very cute fabrics.

I have that problem with just about all Express pants. Size 2 editors fit my waist nicely and sag in the behind, but the size 0's fit my thighs, hips and butt better, but they barely button I do have a little belly pouch though, maybe that's the problem, or maybe the length of my torso makes the waist hit me at a wider spot on my hips??? Every once in awhile I'll find a pair that fit nicely, but it is very inconsistent. Oh, and I haven't tried on the correspondents yet.

I have millions of pair of express pants. They are cut to fit me so well! I love them!

I have no butt, thunder thighs, and a tiny waist. The Editors are cut generous enough in the thighs, tend to be baggy in the butt (but that's ok- I don't like the tight on the butt thing).

The Correspondents were very big through out the "rise" region. I have to say though, I love the look of the straight cut trousers. They are the absolute classic.

The Correspondents though are not good for girls with a small behind and waist.

I agree w/ Seashells, I have a small waist and practically no butt and the Correspondents looked ridiculous on me - they looked so wide I felt like I was wearing clown pants! The Editors fit me so well and I have a ton of pairs.
