I love these pants. I am 5'2 (on a good day), curvy, and about 160 lbs. These pants are perfect int he waist band. They are just stretchy enough to go over your hips but not too tight that it pushes your stomach up in a bunch. These pants don't fall down as you walk. They are perfect. I bought the petite size. They fit in the legs perfectly. The material is great as well. they are like a pair of leggings and slacks put together. I will be ordering more!
