For my Talbots friends

gidgetgh · ‎03-09-2010

I got an email from Talbots this morning announcing yet another event, LOL. I noticed on the email that they've marked some styles of pants down to $19.99. I looked and my favorite pants are included! They're the Dalton pants. I absolutely love them. They're a little closer fitting, like a slim pant, but they look great on and are so comfortable. Not a legging, but not full legged pants. I have them in 3 colors. Anyway, they were originally $119 and now they're $19.99!

As for sizing, I'm a 12 and I wear a 12 in these. I could squeeze into the 10, but the 12 was definitely better.

Just passing on the recommendation. These pants are an unbelievable buy.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I'm 5'6" and 135 -- don't like my pants to fit tight.

What size might work? I have worn a 12 jean in relaxed fit, but hesitant to get that size for fear of being too "close."

I could order both sizes and try them, and might do that, but if you have any thoughts, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I like this Tie-front Tee (many colors), just reduced from $39.50 to $20.99. It's a nice weight, not see-through.

and this Floral Embroidered Cap Sleeve Tee (white, indigo or olive). 49.50 to 26.99.

@gidgetgh Thanks! I hope you aren't beating yourself up for having bought them at a higher price! No matter what I do, none of the Talbot's pants fit me right. I've often wished they did but they don't. Your post makes me wish once again they did - what a great price - but they don't. I wonder whether this style is being discontinued? Did you think of that? Is it only the spring line or all the Daltons?

@Witchy Woman- sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. Keep in mind, these are a close fitting, knit type pair of pants. What size do you wear in regular pants, like dress pants? That's the size I'd recommend for you. I wear a 12 in dress pants, chinos, etc. and I wear a 12 in these. They're not leggings. They're thicker material but they fit more closely, almost like a "legging lite" and especially taper in from the knees down. But they're definitely not stay at home casual wear. They're regular pants, but they're made to fit close. Take a look at the picture on the model and pay close attention to how they look on her, especially from the knees down.

Thanks for the info! LOVE Talbots! I bought a some things during their Red Hanger Sale and can't believe how much I got for so little. One of the items is the sailboat print vest from earlier this year. Originally $129 and I paid under $30. Can't beat that! :-)
