I am going to give y'all everything you need to know in this review! If you are seeking stretch dress pants like me, I'm going to assume you do not have a sleek abdomen. I am not really overweight, but I am 5'3 and 127 lbs and don't have time to work out, so yeah.I ordered a Petite (29 in) Medium. The pants looked great as far as length and the legs. But my little belly was squished into a proper muffintop by the band. If they had used a more gentle elastic, this would have been a perfect fit. I liked the fabric. It was substantial/not see-through/classy and you could for sure pull this off w/ a nice blazer as totally office appropriate.However, that waistband is tight and uncomfortable unless you have a sleek and toned midsection so just forget about ordering your regular size if that's an issue for you. I am going to try a large, but fear the legs would be too baggy. This is a shame because this cut is great and it would be awesome if the waistband was wider/softer/more forgiving. Because face it: if you could be wearing non-pull on pants you would be. I would love a pair of pants that are structured like this but do not produce a muffintop and I'd order one in every size. But I guess I will have to head to the gym, it's come to that. Sigh.
