If you're over 5'6" and thin I need your help with pants!
Where the heck to you buy nice work pants? I used to do so well at J. Crew and BR. JC is HUGE on me and the petites are too short. BR's sizing is so way off and also HUGE on me.
I spent hours at the mall on Monday with no success. HELP!!

My work pants are mainly from BR, but I have a few pairs from Ann Taylor. I used to wear pants from The Limited -- their obsession with polyester turned me off, but the pants did fit me well.
Almost all my pants have to be tailored, no matter where I buy them...

I get mine at express, pretty much every pair of work pants I own are Editor pants. I 5'8", I buy the regular length for pants I want to wear with flats and the long length for heels

BR makes size 00 (you have to order online - not in store) and you can also get them in long lengths.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm ordering a few of the 00 in the short length.
I've tried Ann Taylor (too old lady), Express (too big)....
I'm so frustrated!

I was going to suggest Brooks Brothers. It's $$$ but they look impeccable.

I wouldn't do short length - at least get regular length. I order a regular length and am only 5'3" - they are long enough on me to wear 3" heels

Victoria's Secret. They have like 4 different lengths.
I love the Christie Fit but they have a ton of fits- all different rises and styles.
They sometimes run a promotion with free shipping and returns on pants so it's risk free...

I like Theory pants, but they are definitely pricey. You can get them for a better price at the outlet at Woodbury.

I actually just got a couple of work pants at Joyce Leslie. They sell them in Long. I always have this issue with pants. I'm only 5'6 but I'm all legs so It's always a problem for me.
