These pants were a bit large when I first got them, which was actually preferable. The tummy control worked well.

However, these jeans have shrunk every time I washed them, and I only use cold water and hang dry indoors. At first I thought I had just gained weight, but the inseam and rise have both gotten considerably smaller, so I know it's shrinkage. The color, however, has not faded much at all.

Expect to have to replace these after 6-12 months, if you wear them every week or two. I find that a bit too much for the price (mine were over $100).
