These are very good quality, lined pants. They are what I call "true to size," but perhaps not true to the measurement chart they provide for this item. I tried a 14W, using the measurements they give, and the fit didn't work. I would need a 16W, which is what I get for more informal pants like chinos. So if you're accustomed to getting one size, get that size, and take the measurements chart "with a grain of salt."
The very deep, non-shiny black would be flattering on anyone, although the fabric is probably better suited to the "straight" body type, without lumps bumps and curves. This fabric is not "springy," so it shows - in spite of the lining - more imperfections than I like.
The finishing details are quite good, and the quality of the fabric is excellent. These paints were a near-miss for me. I have purchased Louben dresses and found them generously cut and well made. It was simply that this fabric didn't work for this particular frame. It takes all kinds!

Prosthe perfect pant

These pants are very comfortable. The legs are not too full for me which can be a problem. The material is wonderful. It breathes well and does not wrinkle easily. Great for travelling. I love these pants so much I have bought another pair and plan to buy another soon. Pair with the jacket and have a wonderful professional outfit.

Prosslimming, flattering, wardrobe staple

All those five-star reviews were right on the money, in my book. These are the first nice pants I've bought in years. I thought I'd never find a pair that fit right in all those difficult places. These fit beautifully, plenty long for heels and nice and flat across tummy and bottom. Very flattering and slimming and comfortable! Too bad they only come in black. They are a definite wardrobe staple.

AWESOME PANTS

Prosversatile, nicely made

These pants are perfect! I love the flat front and clean lines of these pants - so often plus pants have too much fabric in the stomach and butt area. I did go up one size for a more comfortable fit in the waist - but could have gone either way. I also prefer pants that are not lined - like these... versatile - great with a blazer for work or a sweater for church! length is good too - I'm 5' 8" and can wear a 2-3" heel with these. Wish they had them in brown and gray!
