I was fully prepared for these pants not to work. I've got 40" waist and 57" hips. In general, my bottom half is a size bigger than my top half. I have wide hips and a fat belly that I adore, but pants never work for me. I mostly wear dresses and skirts because I hate how most plus size pants fit. When I put these on, it was clear how much care and work was put into the pattern of these pants. The fit is BEAUTIFUL and the wool is so comfy (not itchy at all.) I just bought my 2nd and 3rd pairs of these pants because it's so rare for a brand to take such care for fat people. If you're like me and have a fat belly that is never accommodated, I urge you to give these pants a try. Thank you, Baacal! Can't wait to see what other pants you bring out next.
