Okay, so the 1-star reviewer is correct: these pants are available at JC Penney for a lot less. I just bought a pair at "the other place" and I must say, I absolutely LOVE THEM. I'm a 52 year old woman (my birthday is tomorrow) who is in good shape, but since surgery that affected my midriff, I just can't wear zip up jeans or pants comfortably. (No, it wasn't a tummy tuck.:) ) I was scared to submit to wearing the dreaded "stretchy pants" which I feared would make me a certifiably "mature woman." But, I decided that the need for comfort and some semblance of fashion was important to me. So I tried these on, and OH BOY WAS I SURPRISED! I look fabulous, dahling! My back end never looked so tiny, and my belly so flat! No muffin top! No bulge! I can go to my birthday dinner tomorrow night, eat my dinner, drink my champagne, and not feel gross afterward! I'm so excited about these pants, and wish that "JC" had more colors available (that's the reason I'm here on Amazon, to look for more). Um...and ladies...if you are like me...I'm a size 8, physically fit, but my waist is considerably smaller than my back end...so the only struggle is...ahem...getting them pulled up over the back side. But, once on, they are comfortable as all heck. And, for someone who has worn jeans and t-shirts most of her adult life, these are awesome because they have pockets! Yippie! I can wear a slouchy shirt, and tuck my hands in my pockets and still look comfortably fashionable. SO, five stars from me for fit and fashion, but not for the Amazon price. C'est la vie! I'm going to double check the colors on this site, and might even spring for the extra cost, just because I love them oh so very, very much!
