Buy something off the Net! It'll arrive in a jiffy. Just kidding. Sorry to hear about the loss of a good pair of pants. Is it beyond mending?

hmm... i probably need to find some warmer clothes... it's near 0degC... i might have to learn the bus-times for real... eeks.

i might be able to shorten it, monoceros... and make them into 3/4 pants?! trousers... or patch the bottom hems with another fabric... will have to see... hmm.

it's hard enough finding clothes that will fit; mail-order won't work... i am too indecisive! =CP

if you try the petite stuff at Bananarepublic.com they let you try and return for free (return shipping included!) so you can pick and choose all you like. At no cost or obligation.

3/4 pants sound like a good idea to salvage the pants!

Hope you check it out. Banana Republic has some fun stuff, especially when they're on sale too.

jiffy bag! =)
