I ordered these because I wanted a pair of comfortable pants, with a look of slacks for casual days - these met all my expectations and more.  I am 5'3", 160lbs - so a little thick around the middle and short! These pants are slimming and stylish - they are even comfortable around my waist when I sit down, and if you are a little on the plus size like me, you know what I'm talking about.  I like these so much I'm going to order them again in another color - you won't be dissapointed when you get these in the mail. I ordered a 14P.
