Hello to all!
I am hoping somone here can answer a question I have had for a while. It popped once again into the front part of my brain while watching a film this evening. There is a certain style of womens trousers, that I have not succeeded in describing to anyone. Perhaps someone here can identify the “official” style so that I can search for the trousies themselves, or for patterns on the net.
The style of the trousies could only be described (by me anyhow) as womens trousers from the 1940s. Since all the actresses look stunning in them, I am convinced that I too would be transformed to an uber-babe. Let me have my illusions…
The trousers are usually pleated at the front, and tight in the waist, and hang more or less completly straight down from the hips. They are quite wide in the leg, but are still most definitly not coulottes (skirt-like trousers). The film that reminded me of them tonite was Deep Impact, the reporter character (played by Tea Leoni), they are the trousers she was wearing while talking to her mother while walking in the park. The ones she wore on the top of the skyskraper as the helicopter took off were of the same style, but the cream ones in the park were nicer 
Unfortunatly the offical sites are no more, and the film doesn’t even seem to be listed at the Paramount site :rolleyes: so I have had to try find pictures online, like this, or even better this, and this shows some more… There is the other ones…
In the older episodes of “Mad About You” Helen Hunt used to wear these style trousers occasionally, and I am fairly sure they were worn by Christine Lahti in the film “Swing Shift”. Couln’t find pics tho. Does anyone know what I am talking about, where I can get them, and if they really are as flattering and forgiving as they seem to be?
Whee!
