WOO HOO Gap trousers hit the jackpot

[VictoriousSponge]

got these online they are beuatays

I tried all of their new perfect trouser range on in store - they all looked dreadful on me.

I'm about 5'5 and a size 14 - went up a size and they were terrible, too. They only had regular length in stock - but they seemed to be made for 6 footers!

I was really disappointed.

they are long. i am 31 inside leg and they are still long. the fabric in those is perfect though, cotton with enough stretch init so they dont bag all day

Oh, I could tell they'd be ideal if only I wasn't a short arse (and I'm not that short!) - hence my disapointment.

Also tried a black jacket that went with the trousers. It was v.nice. And they had some lovely knitwear.

Lots of smart but not too formal basics I thought, that would be ideal for work.

I might try those on. I am going in on Thursday armed with my 30% off voucher!

Where do you get the voucher from? I am going looking for some black trousers and have a thread on it.

I am very disappointed with them. They are a whole inch smaller in the waist then other trousers/jeans of a same size.

I do not undersatnd gap. Their t shirts are very generous. Their tailored shirts are slim in the arms but the trousers are so small.

God glad you lot are saying you think they are small. Tried some on today and they didn't fit, have come home feeling really fat and despondent!

I went in at lunchtime and tried two sizes of each of Perfect, New Bootleg and Curvy.

They all looked crap, even the ones which more or less fit me.

Hmmph .

sorrento56 - I was sent one by email. I can forward it to you if you have an email address you don't mind putting on here.

Have forwarded voucher to sorrento and Mrs C2010.

Have to agree - ordered the Curvy in a 14 with high hopes - they were too tight everywhere, and about 3 inches too long - sizing is completely different from the curvy and long and lean jeans....

back to skirts for me then...

Thank you very much Dexter, you're very kind!

Thank you Dexter. I will let you know what I get :).

bleurgh polyester

wore them today
SO comfy - cotton was cool and the stretch meant they kept their shape

Which ones are they VS and what is the sizing like?

Very similar to the pair I'm wearing today ina grey/blue colour !

the " true straight" pants linked to in OP>
are great for thinner thighs and short waists

Dilys I tried the same 3 styles as you - all awful
beyond belief . Have not tried the sponge's straight legs though.

I got the true straight trousers today (part of 30% off spree - now have giddy shopping rush) - they are ruddy gorgeous.

don't wholly love not having pockets but I can see why that makes the shape better

not for shorties who don't fancy taking them up though - legs are V long

I love the perfect fit ones and the true straight. I;ve tried a couple of the other fits which don't work as well but they're doing a 15% off when you sign up thing plus free delivery and returns so I'm getting them all sent over, trying them on with lots of different shoes/ t-shirts etc and then sending back all relaxed fit ones which don't fit. So far am v. impressed.

agree i miss the pockets
the fabric is fab and are so slimming

and yes legs very long
like that they have belt hooks to
