I did order 1 size up and the rear is nice, but the waist is too big for my flat-ish tummy. It gaps in the back.
I really hate this waist height on most pants of the last 5+ years. Why do we want the pants' bulky closure right at the largest part of the tummy - right on the little pooch below the belly button?
These arrived much smaller than I had anticpiated and have no pockets. That part was my fault because I did not read the description carefully enough, but the snug size was unexpected. I need to lose ten pounds to wear these, but will keep them because it would benefit me to lose ten pounds.
I like the fit of the pant, although I thought it ran small and had to do an exchange. After I did the exchange, I discovered that the pants do not have pockets. That is a must for myself since I wear them to play golf.
I only had a few warm-enough days this fall to wear them and I'm so pleased. They washed up beautifully and will be a regular part of next spring's wardrobe. The 'rise' is enough for me, frequently I have a problem with that and I like the fabric, not too hot and the fit is just right.
