A search for pants nets me a lot of sites selling "mature" suits. Boxy things, they are. Not cool. I feel like the only time I find really nice bridal pants is when I stumble onto them by accident. So I wish you all the luck in the world finding something you like--though I still love <a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2006RTW/ESAAB/RUNWAY/00120m.jpg" rel="nofollow">the suit linked above</a>. Yum. The question is, are you married to the idea of wearing white/cream/etc.? If not, the pant suit world is your oyster, baby. Yikes, Jackie…stinks that it had to come to fisticuffs!

Do the words "Bartholomew Cubbins" mean anything? I have three commercial hatracks, the kind you find in department stores, and they aren't nearly sufficient to hold all my hats. And they are <i>hats;</i> not a baseball cap amongst 'em. N.B. If there's an April Cornell nearby, check for hats, as the stores are going out of business! Hee!

It's just ... ehhhhh. For me, I mean - I am so utterly unmotivated to be married in trousers, which seem to me neither formal, nor festive, nor flattering. (Of course, I'm unmotivated to wear trousers generally, on the grounds that I find them neither formal, nor festive, nor flattering.)

How many suits exist? Also, why does it have to be a "bridal" suit, but why can't it be a beautifully cut and fitted suit of extremely fine wool, in white or cream? Armani does this a lot, like with Jodie Foster at the Oscars. And you could buy a suit in one of Armani's lower lines that fit like a dream for the price of the average wedding dress. Picture Bianca Jagger's YSL suit with the big floppy hat when she married Mick Jagger--single button jacket that comes in sharply at the waist over slim white pants. No nonsense on the jacket but a fabulous cut. And a big floppy hat. Fantastic. Still chic, 35 years later (god I'm old).

I do not have the thighs and buttocks for clingy things; therefore, the giant pants worry me, too. If it was windy, those pants would stick to one’s thighs and buttocks.
