I did not expect much when I ordered these pants, but I was looking for something that was easy care, comfortable, and fun for a lengthy cruise. These actually exceeded my expectations, with a comfortable waistband and plenty of room. The fabric is actually better than expected; it has a little stretch, but keeps its shape nicely. The pattern is sophisticated and fresh, and the fit is perfect, and even the length works for my 5'4 frame as long as I wear a little heel. They fold neatly to take up almost no room in my suitcase with no wrinkles which is a big plus when you're traveling. In my opinion this is a very good buy for the price, and I will definitely buy another pair in a different pattern!
