Not sure if it's bc of the rise or cut, but everyone looks 10 lbs heavier especially midsection and wider butts. I thought it made Katrina look like she gained 10lbs midsection. Easy pass for me


Hate to say it, but I agree. I have a very similar pair in all linen from Talbots, and I think they're very flattering on me, but these just look droopy and make people look a little "thick."

I think the pants look cute and cool for the warm weather, but buying pants online and getting a good fit is difficult for me. I don't have anything like this, and maybe that's a sign this style is not for me. I know I prefer a tailored pant. Sometimes I see something on someone else and it looks great, but when I try it on it's just not my style. 


I like flowy wide leg pants - beach style and palazzo- the ones that I have/wear do not give the illusion of weight gain or wide butt. This TSV does both on everyone!  And add the wrinkly effect, 3 strikes, it's out! Better options are available for summer pants.

I already have three pairs of linen blend pants similar to those in white, beige and chambray blue, and a pair of black linen blend pants with a straighter leg.  Bought them a couple of years ago.  

 

I'm debating with myself about getting the navy and/or olive.

 

The striped pants look a little too much like pajama bottoms for me to wear outside.

I watched the videos ....  I just changed my mind - won't buy them because the pockets don't lay flat.  It will cost me about $20 to have the pockets removed.  

 

Just not worth it.

The elastic waistbands of these pants clearly stretch out with wear, so that after a little bit of time, the wearer is stepping on the hem.

 

Only for those who want to spend all day pulling on their pants.

 

Terrible design.

I like the pants but they seem to be longer than the length specified for them. I saw that dragging on the floor on some of the models and the petite length seemed more like a regular length. The petite did not look like it was only 27." Anyone else think they looked long?


I agree, @Mindy D . The Petite model I saw was 5'2-3/4, and with heels they were dragging the floor. 

I also noticed the sizes on tall and regular seemed too long on the models. 

I think they make this mistake on TSV's, trying to catch everybody in the sale, and they don't fit anybody.

Worse yet was Jane telling the petites that were all out to buy the regular like her!!! The only way she can wear the regular is she stretches it out in the width and that pulls up the bottom. She does that all the time: takes a size 8 regular for that purpose.
