I purchased 3 pairs of these pants. They fit pretty well at first, but they shrink, big time, especially in the length...I'm 5'5" and they all shrunk over an inch, so now they are too short to wear with heel. I can still wear them with flats however. Also, I had to replace the zipper in two pairs because it broke after one wash and wear, and the waist is starting to pucker in all three so they don't lie as flat underneath my shirts anymore. The black stays very black though, even after many washes which is nice...there's nothing worse than wearing faded black. I also think that the slight stretch they have makes them very comfortable, and very flattering.
