I knew from reading other reviews that washing these pants would be a challenge--but people were all over the place between loving and hating these pants, so I gave it a shot.  I washed the pants on cold with other dress clothes, and when I pulled them out of the washer I found white flakes on the pants.  I figured it was soap powder and threw them in for an extra rinse cycle by themselves, which caused even MORE white flakes.  I laid them on a drying rack to dry, but they are a wrinkled mess and will be a pain to iron.  I'm returning the pants.

Beyond the washing issues, the pants just suck.  The fabric is stiff and strange, and reminds me of grandma's Alfred Dunner shiny polyester pants. If I had felt them in a store I wouldn't have even bothered to try them on--but since I bought them online, I wore them to work. They were just "okay".  They didn't fit or hug my curves in an amazing way.  They were baggy in weird places, and so stiff that they didn't hang properly.  The waist was comfortable, but by the end of the day the waist band had permanetly folded down from my sitting in a chair, and poked out when I stood up.  All in all, these pants weren't flattering or incredibly comfortable or life-changing.  They were just a pair of cheap pull-on pants.

Hard pass.
