I bought these at Sears and I love them. I would suggest going up a size. I'm 5'3" and 157 and I bought a 12. They are slim cut. I plan on buying more. They are a kind of black pant that doesn't fade like regular twill. Even so I turn them inside out when I wash them. They are a little dressier than than a twill or denim. They're great for work.
