Thanks so much for the sympathy and the helpful suggestions. I will look into some athletic gear for sure.

I did look on ebay but the only few pieces that were in my size and height were REALLY ugly. The nice ones I did find on there had just ended (boo).

Actually Ambah's suggestion of asking someone in the states to help was a good one. I know a few online people in the states and approached them with my problem. They all offered to let me have my stuff mailed to them and they would mail it to me. I can have my Old Navy pants after all! I just hope they fit ok, it's so hard buying clothes you haven't tried on, even if the label is supposedly your size.
