RIP mossy britches..
Here is a picture of me, this morning:
As you can see, these trousers are too small. They are definitely too small - I had to pin the zip at the top, and they are not decent to wear in public (I didn’t go out today). But they are thick cord and moss green and properly flared. Of course I still wore them!
THE ZIP BROKE TODAY.
Please, a moment of silence for my oldest pair of trousers. I will miss them, and I have no idea where I can find a new pair. They never fitted properly; the waist was always too wide and the hips always pulled a little snug. But since I bought them, dear Lady Changes done worked her pesky magic. The shop isn’t even there anymore.
Please, anyone got a trooser-shop that caters to the small but wiggly? :/

Comments here if the proper way doesn’t work! Thanks!

Might I suggest that zips can be mended, and that the flair has enough excess material that the waist might borrow a little of it without losing the overall look. If you love them enough, it might be worth fighting for them. As for public decency, the public has long since ceased to care about such things.

That.. is a marvelous idea! I thank you.
And yes, that’s true, but I haven’t. I can draw over my face on the internet but I cannot draw over my nethers on the street.

Prudence and modesty are rare virtues. I applaud you.

Aww, I always have the same problem with things not fitting me just quite right. I know how you feel! :(

It sucks, dunnit! With trousers I resort to buying them big enough that they’ll drop down to hip-level at the waist, nowadays..
