So.. hard to write a review on these pants.. as this is the only pair Ive ever purchased like this style. They don't quite look like the product description, but guessing that girl is straight up and down and petite. I am 55.5. Pear shaped and 135 lbs right now. I purchased the small. They fit nicely around my waist (Im typically a size 6) and flare out more after the hip area. They go down to my caf area. Not quite sure at what point they are supposed to sit on the waist, but if not work high waisted, they look saggy in the crotch area. The backside of waist is elastic and the front is flat. There are 2 huge pockets in the front side.. I do believe you could fit the plus size phones in them with no issues: My 11 year old son dislikes these very much so. He asked that I not wear them out in public with him as they look like boys pants that I am wearing backwards. They are definitely a 10/10 for comfort. I feel the waistband, but not constructive and the rest just floats away from my body. I choose to tuck in my top to define a waistline and not look overly sloppy. Today is the first day wearing them.. so Ill update if I notice anything else.
