What's With All the Elastic Waists?

Jacie — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 02:39:37 GMT

I have found it frustrating that QVC seems to think we all want elastic waist clothing. Have been searching for some crop and ankle pants for spring/summer with a zipper and button, little to none in the inventory! I am certainly not ready to succumb to a wardrobe of all elastic waists! Help me QVC!

I love them, especially after eating at a buffet.

You'll have to look elsewhere.

Zippers and buttons limit the number of buyers.

Myself, I'm all for elastic!

If you wear a longer top, nobody knows their elastic.

I don't like elastic waists either. They always go way above my waist and are so uncomfortable!

So much cheaper to manufacture.

Wore an old pair of lime green denim and co. crops the other day. They are a soft polished cotton with white crochet (forget the term) around the pockets. It has a beautiful finish to all areas and a zipper and button. Nothing close is sold these days on the Q.

I guess you'll just have to shop elsewhere because the majority of Q's customers seem to want elastic waists. I know I do.

I am with you, Jacie. Hate those elastics on pants - they look so frumpy!

Not true, look at yourself from the back-- baggy without darts.

Thank you, Crisso. Frumpy is a good word for elastic waists. I am sure that there are some that wouldn't look frumpy, but they certainly might make me feel that way! Hopefully QVC will listen up and provide more options! And thanks to you also luvingit, that back view in elastic waists can be unforgiving!

I love elastic waist! I buy pants that fit true to size, (and therefore, I don't look "frumpy") and they are so comfortable!

Me too! By the way, QVC has many pant styles with zippers and buttons. You just have to look for them.

always wear elastic waist pants......more comfortable....I don't want to go back to zipper and buttons to get in and out of pants...too much work...

So glad they work you gals, I just don't think they are flattering....perhaps I've watched too many reruns of What Not To Wear! LOL! I have been specifically looking for buttons and zippers in crops and ankle pants for summer. Don't want QF knits, beyond that there isn't much!

I have a few pairs of Women with Control capris and they are styled like a regular jean in the front; a zipper and a button at the top. The fabric is stretchy, so they're as comfy as elastic waist pants.
