LIOR PARIS Janet Women's Straight Leg Pull-On Pants - Comfortable Stretch Trousers for Work, Office & Casual Wear

I really wanted to love these pants. I saw them on a friend of my sister's and thought would be my 'go to' pants, especially for traveling. The friend told me it was a Lior "Jannie" pant and I could find it online. Well when I looked at the "Jannie" pant, it had a small slit at the bottom and hers did not have that. I was told the Janet and Jannie were the same cut, but the inseam on the Janet model was shorter. Perfect, I thought. I am normally a size 4 so I ordered the 4. Way, way too big. So I returned it and bought the 2. Still too big. On my friend, the pant was snug, but not tight like a legging. On me, they are loose (and dare I say baggy) so I look like my mother in her pants. Not the look I wanted, but hey, the 2 is the smallest size. As for the control top band, what good is it if it is loose? If you are expecting it to look like the pant on the model, forget it unless you order 2 sizes down. The reason I am keeping them is that return postage is not covered. I returned this once already, so if I keep doing it trying to find a Lior style that fits, I would have paid the pants twice over. I am disappointed as I was hoping for a better fit and I would have made multiple purchases in different colors.On the positive side, I love the color I bought (Aubergine) and the wide range of colors available look lovely. I also like the fabric and think it would be a terrific everyday pant and and an outstanding travel pant. It is a shame that these pants did not work for me. Perhaps another model would work better, but I do not know which one and am not going to make a major investment in trying to find out.Lior capris are lovely but with the average American woman at 5’5” and the average well-to-do women an inch or so taller, the full length pants are just too short for many in their target demographic. They should either make a tall version or realize that a longer pant can be hemmed for shorter women but they have eliminated at least 20% of their potential customers by skimping on fabric.Elegant fit, comfortable, versatile as well as subtle fabric finish.Great pantLove these pants.
