I have shirts and dresses from this brand, and they are great. i was happy to finally see a pair of pants! these are just as soft and well made as the other items. i would recommend you try them on. there is only a slight variation from one size to the next, so it will depend on what look you are going for. they are cropped at the calf, but can be "pulled up" for a more dressier look. i cannot say enough about the material. it is so soft and comfortable. they do wonders for your behind- i think
