I'm one of many who resolved to lose weight this year, and I'm already down 15 pounds.  Therefore, new work clothes were necessary.  I didn't want to spend too much as I still have many pounds to drop, and so I'll need more clothes in just a few months.  These pants fit the bill perfectly.  I've never purchased anything from Dickies before, but I'm very pleased with these slacks.  (I ordered another style as well, but those don't fit nearly as well.)  I'm 5'7" and like longer pants, so I ordered these in the long length, and to be honest, they're just a little too long.  They'd probably be perfect for ladies 5'9" and taller.  They are true-to-size otherwise.  The material is very comfortable, with just enough stretch to make moving (standing, sitting, squatting, whatever) easy.  The rise is good as well - I'm not showing off anything my co-workers don't need to see when I crouch down.  These slacks also aren't as "work-ish" as I expected from Dickies; they're really easy to dress up and wear out.  I've already ordered these in two other colors - but the regular length (which is much better for my height).  Can't beat them for the price or quality!
