This pant is beautiful and fits great except for the waist. it is too big. i carry all my extra weight in my waist too. 5' 6 1/2", 150lbs, straight and up down figure. the waist gapped in the back almost 2 inches. otherwise this is a great pant, if you have a well developed bootie, maybe they would fit. ordered a 10 by the way. if they make it to sale, will purchase again and take to tailor. they are a well constructed lovely pant.
