I have just lost about 28 lbs and most of my pants for work are too big for me. I am a curvy, 5 ft 8 woman. I haven't worn a size 10 in years. The pants I have recently bought at stores were size 12's and still a bit big in the waist. After reading the reviews, I ordered these pants for work, hoping since they are described as curvy they wouldn't be too big in the waist or the bottom. They came in a few days (thanks to Prime membership). They fit beautifully! The pants almost look like they were made for me. But they are a bit too long for me. I guess they are made for women my size but 3 inches taller. Only other downside is that they are not lined. If you are curvy, then these are the pants for you.
