Those ugly pants have been around since the 1970's, at least. I know this because my mom had a pair. She bought them in Mexico.

LMAO
July 9, 2008 at 4:22:00 PM EDTwho wears those pants???
Oh yeah, riiight. She came up with that design all by herself. I can remember them from the 60's.
July 9, 2008 at 4:33:00 PM EDTSorry, these pants have been around forever.
July 9, 2008 at 4:41:00 PM EDTCher wore them with Sonny. Maybe she still does.....
July 9, 2008 at 4:58:00 PM EDTthe funny part is how she claims she is the better seamstress but the "copied" pants look more like the originals. and better quality.
July 10, 2008 at 6:13:00 AM EDTthe op has horrible taste in fabrics, too.
I tried a pair of these pants on in the garment district of Downtown LA about 3 years ago. I wanted to wear them to Burning Man that year. They were imported from India or Mexico I think?
July 10, 2008 at 3:36:00 PM EDTI'm constantly amazed at how many people think they're the first to do anything.
Copying happens a lot on etsy.
July 10, 2008 at 6:03:00 PM EDTCoincidences and random similar ideas and claims of copying happen even more frequently. ;)
Threads like this make people who've actually been copied look like whiners and make people assume automatically they have no case, since they've seen a hundred claims of copying that are false or unfounded. Sooo frustrating.
I don't even know how people have the time to find allegeded copiers to cry foul about. Other than the ones that convo to SAY they're going to copy.
