I ordered a size 18 in charcoal and oatmeal colors. My body type: I am 5'7" and 220lbs (currently 15 weeks pregnant too!), and I have a fluffy muffin top boyish figure (blah!). I have a business trip coming up and knew I needed something that fits my growing belly comfortably while still looking business-like. The length of the pants is almost too long with flat sole shoes, but perfect for heels. I feel like they can be dressed up or down. There is definitely some wiggle room/growing room in these, which was why I ordered a tad larger size. They stay put throughout the day and don't seem to stretch or sag. I wash them with cold water and dry on normal. I haven't seen any shrinking issues yet. I can honestly say. I'll be getting more of these for my pregnancy and once I drop some weight after the baby is here, I'll order even more! I am very pleased with my purchase!
