Bought some of these pants in Peebles (for $24.00, ahem!). A size 6 petite, my main objective is to find pants I don't need to alter.  These fit well, with long lines, and slim (not skinny jean style, thank goodness, but slender) legs.  Like another reviewer said, I'm not sure the slimming panel does much, but the pants fit well.  I have gray, navy, black and a similar pant by another manufacturer in brown.  I bought the black jacket to match.  It is so NOT worth the price and needs pressing (and will likely always need pressing).  I would like to see this pant in a winter white or cream color.
