I bought these pants because they looked easy and breezy. I am surprised to find them to be fussy and a pain to get off when going to the bathroom. These pants have a back zipper with buttons! Harem pants with a back zipper and buttons? Huh? Why? I love a low slung harem pant that is easy to jump in and out of. Harem pants are the ultimate effortless style. These pants have belt loops with a cord. I like the apron style. And the way the skirt is buttoned at the bottom to form pants. However, the buttons should be snaps. That would be modern. The gauze fabric is thick, which makes this pant office appropriate. One can definitely dress this pant up. Luckily, I can sew. I'm going to rework the waist by getting rid of the back zipper. I will then insert an elastic band, so that I don't have to worry about wetting myself as I struggle to get out of a pair of back zippered and buttoned pair pants inside the John.
