These are really cute! The drawstring waist allows you to wear them at your hips comfortably (my hips measure 37"). The waistband is flat enough to wear with a form-fitting T-shirt without having too much bulk. The material is VERY thin, I honestly wish it were a bit thicker but at least the material is black. I'll definitely be washing these pants in the delicate cycle (or hand washing them) to make sure the goat-bunny and/or threading aren't compromised. As others have stated, the pants are uneven and give it an "askew" look. I'm unsure if that's a style thing but it kind of drives me crazy. You CAN hike one up further to even them out unless you have large calves. I'm 5'4" and these pants are about as long as you see on the model.
