If you like low rise pants, these are the ones for you.  I'm 5'9, 145lbs, and wear size 6-8 in pants.  I'm 45 years old.  I'm past the days of low rise pants that outline a muffin top beautifully.  These did.  They seemed to fit fine in the legs, but the rise started so low that everything directly below my waist felt packed in and couldn't breath.  I can't imagine feeling comfortable in these.  To top it off, the inseam was too short for me.  Granted, I am a longer inseam (33-34") so this is a typically problem for me.  (Geez, please make pants for taller women!). The flare at the bottom was adequate for boot cut.  Not too big, not too tight.  These just didn't work for me given the low rise and the short inseam.  Quality was fine otherwise.  Had to return.
