ISO roll–down/foldover waist pants

ami kio <...@cant–take–anymore–spam.com>
I admit it: I'm still in love with my Target Mossimo roll–down waist yoga
pants. They're flattering, don't cinch too tightly anywhere, and were
inexpensive. My only complaint is that they're not the best quality
material and multiple washes have made them a faded black (but, hey, I can't
expect more for less than $20). So I'm searching for a replacement pair
that I can wear on errand days.
(FYI, they look like this http://www.blissworld.com/shop/detail/DADE–01/330/
–– I'd buy a pair of these, but they're out of my size in black.)
I'd like a bit of a straighter leg so that they don't look too much like
workout gear, but not a gaucho leg like

Ideally, I'd like to spend $60/–. Any suggestions? FWIW, I wear a Gap
jeans 1 ankle in curvy.
TIA,
ami

I love mine, too, and I'm kicking myself for not having gotten more
than two pair.
Let's see––here are some possibilities:

I got some great yoga pants at the Eddie Bauer outlet last week, and I
am wearing some right now. So comfortable for hanging around the house
or going to the corner store...

If you don't mind spending the cash, the Carol pant from St. Grace is
excellent! Super duper soft knit (very similar to Rachel Pally) and ultra
comfortable.
Here's a link to a store where I bought mine. (No affiliation, other than
they're in Hawaii and one of my favorite boutiques).

Anyone know what Tactel feels like? I'm hoping for a modal feel.

How did the size 1 fit you? The material sounds fabulous, but the
legs/waist look a bit too big for me.

The size 1 is a little loose, but still comfy. I'm 5'6", and the pant leg
falls perfectly for me with shoes. The hem is unfinished, so if you need to
shorten it, what most have been doing is just taking a pair of scissors (and
a steady hand!) and cutting off the excess.

Ooo, I just saw the Rachel Pally pants. Even though they're horribly
expensive, I'm lusting! Would a Gap jeans 1 be a petite? Darn Rafael for
being out of black. [pout]

Thanks for the info!
