So fun and flattering!
I really love wearing these pants! The slightly utilitarian vibe works well for me, and the tie waist accentuates my curves. I am a 10 in the hips but an eight in the waist and the eight fit me really well because these pants are cut super roomy in the hips

Better for shorter people
I know it's supposed to be a high perplum and not quite at the natural waist, but the peplum started on this 3/4 of the way down my boob, it wasn't even below my bust. It's a great sweater but I think if I was 3 or 4 inches shorter or had a smaller bust, the shape of the sweater would've matched up with my body better

Boxy and too big
Definitely size down. I'm a size ten and got the medium and it was still unflatteringly boxy on me. It's way too much fabric in the shoulder/armhole area. But if I sized down I'm afraid it would have been too short. Meh. I think is proportioned to only look good on small people without a large bust, they did not do a good job scaling the pattern up for larger sizes

So much fun and really flattering!
I love this sweater!! It's really fun and flattering when it's cinched around the natural waist. I'm 5'7" though, so if you're short the belt part might hit too low on you and eat you alive, and that's a look but not would I would prefer. Such fun 80s vibes for me Quality is awesome, but the paint is wearing off on the waist buckle. Could just be mine but be warned it's a possibility if you were planning on wearing this somewhere nice

runs big for hourglass figure
This seems to have a lot of room in the chest, so if you're an hourglass figure and the main reason you are a particular size is so there's room for your boobs, then you need to size down. I'm a size 10 so I got a large and it was way too big. If you're a certain size more for your stomach and your chest is normal size then i would say it's true to size

Beautiful and flattering
I thought these fit really nicely. I am kinda between an 8 and a 10 and the L was perfect. The waist band isn't stretchy though so if you are a 10 but with a bit of a tum they won't fit, ike no way would these be comfortable if I was bloated. And as everyone else said, don't wait to pee until you really have to go, the buttons can be fiddly if you're in a hurry! Considered buying I liked them so much

Big in the waist
feels stretched out in the waist or maybe it just runs oddly large in the waist

Hideous
They look like snow boarding pants and are about as flattering. Nice quality, though, so they get two stars for that

Very very cool
These were very cool and rock and roll. I wouldn't recommend them if you're going to be sitting all day because the sequins feel a bit strange to sit on but not horrible or uncomfortable, just that these pants are made for standing like any sequined garment. These were super fun to wear. A little scratchy at the waist but that's because I wore it with a crop top, and I expected that because it's normal for sequins. As for size, I'm on the small end of a size 10 and these were roomy on me, I definitely could have sized down. They're stretchy and comfy so if you're between sizes go for the smaller one. The extra room and stiffness from all the sequins combined to make the fabric kinda stand away from my body and me kinda look a bit bigger (especially in the butt) than I am in a way that's hard to explain. Also the 8 year neighbor girl told me I looked pretty in my shiny pants so there ya go, it's official, they're cool.

Weirdly boxy in the hips
I LOVED the waist part of these pants. Lots of seams and nicely made pleats. But then the fabric of the pants themselves was just a single layer and very thin and drapey. Something about all the seams and pleating making a very structured waist and then a flowy hip and thigh area made it look kind of off in a way that's hard to explain. It made me look like big and boxy through the hips, like an inverted triangle. This could be because I have a flat-ish butt and didn't fill it out well enough?

Kinda look like pajamas
These fit really nicely and were very comfortable to wear, but the specific color and pattern of the plaid paired with the really loose cut made these look like pajama pants. I tucked them into my boots to give it more of a punk/grunge look and I thought it was cool, but just be aware that if you're looking for something more professional, something akin to slacks, that these pants won't look like professional that. Definitely more of a casual wear piece.

Really nice construction and fabric
I sized up because people said it ran small and it was big on me. I think it's a body shape issue. If your size is dependent more on the width of your hips but things are often a little loose in the waist then these pants will work really well for you. In fact all the pieces I've tried from this brand have a really nice fit for an hourglass figure. FYI. As for the fabric and construction, they're fantastic! Beautiful construction details, wonderful tailoring at the waist, and overall really chic

Weird
I usually wear a 10 and I got a medium and it fit ok. But the length is weird. It's too long to really look like cropped pants, and it's too short to be a decent length for true pants. It basically looked like I had on high waters
