And they fit! Barely. They are sort of a strange fit in that they are really tight from mid thigh to calf, but the waist is not super tight, so they almost feel like they pull down a bit. I think once I wear them around a bit they will loosen up ok, and if I have to wear a belt so be it. As much work as I went through to get these fuckers I feel like I should wear them for a week straight!!
Let me know how yours work out.
I put the 4's back on ebay for a BIN price but no bites yet. I'll probably have to lower the price for auction and just suck up the loss.
Fuck me. Think I am gonna have to return these, after all that. They just don't fit well at all. And a size bigger would fit better in the legs but swim in the waist. Crap!!! Hope they worked better for you. Can't believe all that trouble...
OK I swear this is my VERY LAST POST EVER about these pants....
I took them to my Zara to return them, but they had them in stock, so I tried on another 6 and an 8. I couldn't even get the other 6's on. The 8's fit great. I think they are just really low in the back, which makes them a little harder to wear, but they weren't sausage tight on the legs and the waist didn't feel any bigger than the 6's I got in the mail. So I swallowed my pride and exchanged them for an 8.
I subsequently beelined it to Jcrew to reinflate my ego with size 2's, haha.
