Sequined Pants.

Are you ordering your normal size? I looked at the size chart and they look to be running larger than normal. Now I’m self guessing myself.

Same here. Hate doing it, but wound up ordering two sizes

I went down from my usual size since the chart appears to be very generous.

Thanks @haddon9 for weighing in.

I may cancel my larger size then. I wonder what Linea pants are comparable in sizing to this one. I've compared a few measurements & nothing so far.

Well, darn. I ordered my size (M) based on my skirt size. I can not imagine I would take a small but maybe I DO need if they're running that large. Wow. I hate to do that and then have to send one back; it dings Louis for his sales and keeps someone else from ordering a pair.

*sigh*

I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it ... wonder if these are supposed to be more flowy?

Flowy and sequined just doesn’t sound right! 🤦‍♂️

Ok. These are pull on so I pulled up item A295891 WK regular pull on pants. I received a pair last week in Medium. Comparing the waist measurement ONLY, the Sequined pants are running a smidge SMALLER than the WK. Based on this, I'm sticking with the Medium I ordered since the pants are a slim fit through the legs.

Whenever I order pants I always go by the low hip measurement rather than the waist. I don't like when pants are very generous around the hips for me and usually the waist will stretch to accommodate.

@SahmIam and @haddon9

Thanks for your very helpful comments! I decided to switch to the smaller of my two sizes, since the measurements line up better AND I'm losing weight. Luckily, I was able to cancel the larger size this morning, so back in inventory for a Linea sister

haddon9, I also go by the low hip measurement. I don’t like my pants to be tight but I do want them to fit and not look sloppy.

The hip in the Medium looked to be an inch or two more than other letter sized Mediums.

And I remember Louis saying they had lots of stretch.

@haddon9 @buddylou THANK YOU for mentioning the hip measurements. I never looked at that and HOLY MOLY...big difference. I was able to cancel one size and order the SMALL. That just amazes me, lol.

@SahmIam I hope it works for you since they are all sold out now!

I didn't order them although I was highly tempted but thank goodness the petites are sold out so I'm relieved.

@buddylouSo funny... and I was thinking the EXACT opposite. It is a thin lined knit and I can't imagine it stretched close to the body. I stayed true to size, likely as Louis intended.

I cannot wait to receive the sequin pants. I have a gorgeous black Armani top to wear with them for a wedding. i hope the pants look good.

Isobel Archer — Wed, 03 Oct 2018 18:20:12 GMT

I panicked and ordered both small and medium. Couldn't risk not getting it and sizing can be tricky sometimes. I might even keep both since my weight seems to be flexible these days - and with the holidays coming if the medium is too big, it might not be after a few celebrations.

I panicked and ordered two sizes as well. I will return one that is either too big or too small. I have never done this but I really want these pants, and want them that fit as there will be no time for an exchange to when I want to wear them.
