I'm sorry about the lack of model-shots. These pants really need to be seen on, but the only full length mirror I have is in a really poorly-lit part of my house. I am just hoping that some of you have seen these pants on www.pixiemarket.com and know how cool they are from that.
So, these are drop-crotch dark denim pants, impeccably made with side-buttoning on legs (see pic), and extra buttoning on the waist so that they can be worn high-waist, a la jodhpur-style, or lower on the waist for more of a harem pant look. It's hard to believe, I know, but these pants are really flattering on(again, you would need to see them on to know this-- sorry!). I wanted these for ages and almost drove myself nuts checking on Pixie Market to see if they had re-ordered them, then finally got them, wore them obsessively for about two weeks, and then....never wore them again. I don't know why. I'm an idiot. These pants are cool. Somebody should be wearing them.
Condition: excellent. I just noticed one of the ankle buttons is missing, but I still have the spares.
SIZE: Now, listen carefully. These pants were listed as XS, but XS was described as "running large" and suitable for anyone who wears a "size 26 to 28 in jeans." I myself take a 26 in jeans, which was the lower end of the spectrum, and these pants were indeed available in size XXS. In hindsight, that was the size I should have got (might have actually worn them then) but I couldn't get my head around ordering a XXS (it seemed so excessive! What am I, 13 years old?!). So don't be hung up on the "size XS": these pants would best fit a size 27/28/29.
Measurements:
Waist, side to side, laying flat: 16 inches
Rise of drop-crotch: hard to measure exactly, but around 16 inches...
Outer leg: 39 inches.
Paid: $189
Asking: $40, plus $10 for shipping.
This blogger [here: http://www.cmykaboom.com/labels/fash-luv.html] bought them and wrote about them (scroll down to Tuesday, July 8th entry).
Please leave your email in comments before Tuesday 29th (am planning on going to post office on Wednesday).

So confused about sizing -- could you clarify measurements of waist, hip and thigh please? Def. interested. Just need to know if I can get them over my bum. Thanks
Are they like these but dark?

helsabots,
I couldn't open the link! But yes, these pants were available in light denim too.
fateh,
I've already listed the waist measurement. The pants are really baggy in the hip/thigh area and are meant to be worn as such. Across the hip hip/thigh area (since these are a drop-crotch style, it's essentially the same thing), from side to side, is about 20.5 inches. I imagine they would fit bums of all sizes!
Say no more, I'd love to have them! fateh {at} thing {dot} net
count me in, so cute~!
