Plus-size ladies beware, these pants are huge, hot and bulky. The waistband is thick, with double-thick, bulky pockets. It's a high quality, heavy knit fabric for sure--but in my opinion it's entirely ill-suited to a summer style like capris. What's more, because of the bulk at the waist and hip, they're not slimming at all. They're actually the opposite, creating the illusion of an *extra* 15 or 20 lbs added to your middle. Add a flowy tunic to the ensemble and, unless you're pretty darn slim to begin with, your curves will vanish and you're going to resemble something like a slipcovered chair. At least I do.

However, if you still plan to order, you need to bear in mind that they are NOT true to size: They are *enormous.* They're so big, I had trouble keeping them up even with the drawstring pulled tight. So, depending on your situation (for instance, if you're pregnant with quadruplets in the Klondike, a very large pair of pants might be just the thing), you should get a size smaller than you normally wear--*at least.* Otherwise, you're not going to be happy, and it'll cost you to return them. Grrrrrr.

So: two stars for the quality of the fabric *only.* Unfortunately, the manufacturer put it to the wrong use. It would make a nice hoodie--or maybe you could try them out as a pair of cool-weather pajama bottoms, although personally, I'm pretty sure I'd find them too much, even then. Even in my ninth month with sextuplets in Siberia. :/
