I returned the damaged pair I got and now I have these in the brown and also in the lilac colors (true to pics).  They seem to run true to size width wise but they are super duper long!  Now, you are supposed to pull the drawstring ties at the ankles so that keeps them from dragging the ground - they overlap as you see in the pics.  I still say they are to wear with heels though but if you are tall you could get away with wearing them with flats.  The material is amazing quality - great silk and looks like a million dollars!  Only issue really is with the belt - the way it is designed, it comes undone easily on the ends and has to be re-threaded through the buckle - so be aware of that when tightening the belt and you can prevent it.  I'd recommend these - they are very dressy/nice/classy and look like the pics and fit true to size (but long) :-)  You can get away with a short top or even one that comes down a bit like above the top pockets on the legs and it'll still look good.  They are flowy/roomy leg pants (and I have muscular legs).  Recommended!
