I think the brand is Liz Lange for Target but I bought them in 2011! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants/page/2#post-1708841 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 08:33:28 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1708841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I endorse Gap mat. dress pants a million times over.

Thank you for the tip!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants/page/2#post-1708718 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 07:17:48 +0000 looch 1708718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever tried stitch witchery? It is iron on hem tape, it's my best style secret. You literally just fold the hem, iron in the tape and done. Costs $5 for a roll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants/page/2#post-1708697 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 06:38:28 +0000 Adira 1708697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, seriously, WTF is with these Gap pants??? I got both the Boot Cut and the Trouser pants in regular. They are supposedly BOTH 32" inseam, but the boot cut are like three inches longer!!! I can't even pull off heels with the Trouser pants - I have to wear flats and the pants still don't even touch the floor. But in the Boot Cut, I'm wearing 2.5" heels and they drag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants/page/2#post-1706703 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:58:48 +0000 Adira 1706703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: Oh, I have a pair from Motherhood from last time around. They were definitely very comfortable, just not the most flattering. Maybe I'll break them out and add them back into my rotation. And I'll have to check the tag too tonight - I have no idea about washing instructions, haha.</p> <p>@septca: Thanks!! Unfortunately, I cannot pull off skinny jeans or pants because if have huge hips! But I should check out the ON boot cut khakis! And I totally agree about dresses. I have one maxi skirt that is soooooo ridiculously comfortable - I want to wear it everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants/page/2#post-1706691 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:55:06 +0000 septca 1706691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Don't know if this is helpful, here is what I had/have:<br /> Gap perfect pants in black - demi panel<br /> Gap perfect trouser pants in plaid - full panel<br /> Gap demi panel slim cropped pants in black<br /> ON black leggings - full panel<br /> ON boot cut khakis - demi panel<br /> ON black rock star skinny jeans - demi panel<br /> Citizens Ava skinny jeans - full panel<br /> And a lot of dresses (which I much preferred) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants/page/2#post-1706676 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:48:15 +0000 LBee 1706676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think they are dry clean only? I'm too lazy to take them off and see. </p> <p>I have a pair from Motherhood Maternity, but they are very flair, unfortunately. They are my more comfortable pair at this point, though. I don't really feel like they look particularly professional (even though they are grey slacks). I was at Target last night and they had some good options - I just am too cheap to buy something for the remaining 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706671 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:45:07 +0000 Adira 1706671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: @septca: Okay, am I not supposed to wash them? I haven't - I just got them, so now I'm curious!</p> <p>@BakerBee: Also, what are your other pairs??? I got the two from the Gap, but would love a third pair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706663 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:42:31 +0000 LBee 1706663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I only have 3 pairs of pants... what does society expect? I promise I don't smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706659 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:41:23 +0000 septca 1706659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: Ha ha. I got mine dry cleaned after DD was born - mostly because I had ripped one of the hems out and wanted it fixed... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706644 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:37:35 +0000 LBee 1706644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I didn't want to admit it, but I've never washed mine either. I'm blaming the expanding belly. </p> <p>I am pretty impressed that pants that fit me at 13 weeks are still going strong at 31+ weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706643 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:36:37 +0000 Adira 1706643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Oh, that's a good point. The expanding belly might help me with the length issue too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706637 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:34:42 +0000 septca 1706637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: and @Adira: So, yeah. That also happens. :bummed: I never washed mine, so I think that as your belly gets bigger, they just pull and sit differently? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706634 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:33:50 +0000 Adira 1706634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: haha, I'm sure you're fine! I'll let you know how mine fit after I've washed them! Maybe they'll shrink a little for me too! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706633 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:33:15 +0000 LBee 1706633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I hope so. My legs are the only part of my body right now that don't make me want to cry when I look in the mirror. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706630 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:31:14 +0000 Adira 1706630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: hahahaha - maybe they shrink a little with washing???? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706628 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:29:54 +0000 LBee 1706628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: It's weird, they were too long in the beginning, but I just looked at them (I have them on) and they aren't too long anymore. </p> <p>Oh gosh. Does this mean my thighs or something have gotten bigger?? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706622 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:27:36 +0000 Adira 1706622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Yes, that's true, I can hem them myself. Maybe I'll do that once I'm too uncomfortable in heels (I had been wearing heels this whole time, so I'm used to them so far, but will eventually get too big to wear them, haha)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706605 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:21:43 +0000 septca 1706605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: No, they are long. But in my experience, the ankle length are *short* so I would either wear heels or get them hemmed. Do you sew? I hemmed mine myself and it was super easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706580 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:07:34 +0000 Adira 1706580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I apparently have no idea. My Express pants are 33" and I usually wear my wedges with them, but I CAN get away with wearing flats with just a little drag. These GAP pants are SUPPOSED to be 32" and they seem LONGER than my Express pants! I wonder if they accidentally sent me long... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706566 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:03:57 +0000 septca 1706566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I am so glad you like them! What's your inseam? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1706532 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 07:52:03 +0000 Adira 1706532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: @septca: @BakerBee: @grizz: Thanks so much for your endorsement of Gap pants, ladies! They arrived last time and I'm wearing them today and they are soooooo comfortable and look great!!! My only issue is that they are a little long so I have to wear my heels (wedges). Might have to order the "ankle" version for when I'm further along and want to wear flats, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1693234 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:08:13 +0000 Adira 1693234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Thanks for the link! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1693228 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:06:45 +0000 Smurfette 1693228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Similar to these, if not these. They say straight leg but I remember them being more bootcut</p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/liz-lange-for-target-maternity-straight-leg-pants-black/-/A-14713556#prodSlot=large_1_9" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/liz-lange-for-target-maternity-straight-leg-pants-black/-/A-14713556#prodSlot=large_1_9</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1693201 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:00:03 +0000 Adira 1693201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Yeah, that's a good point.

They should have more in the fall. I would imagine right now they have a lot of dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1693179 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:54:33 +0000 Adira 1693179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Yay! Similar body shapes! I'll have to check out Target! Though the last couple times I've gone, their maternity selection has been pathetic. Maybe I need to try a different one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-something-similar-to-express-editor-pants#post-1693170 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:52:46 +0000 Smurfette 1693170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I had a pair from Target that were great. I have wide hips and thighs. They were roomier as I got bigger then my Target ones.<br /> @septca: I hated demi panel. Gave me a muffin top and weren't as comfortable at all. </p>
