My new obsession!
** quick note about the pinstripe color **I thought that the pinstripe color would be black and white, however they are a emerald green with white stripes. The stripes are also thicker looking in person. They’re cute, just not what I expected. Carry on to OG review...***I’m pretty much a stretchy bell bottom connoisseur. I work from home so I basically live in them. I have over 30 pairs from high-end designer to fast fashion and I have got to say that I am OBSESSED with these!!I’m 5’6, 135 lb, I wear between a 27 and 28 (or 4 and 6) and I order the smalls in these and they fit perfectly! Granted, I wish XS were available so the waist and hips were tighter, but the Small is pretty spot on. I ordered the mustard first and loved them so much that I ordered the burgundy. Now I’m going to order the Olive.They are so soft and comfortable and so stretchy and flowy! They’re a nicely weighted brushed microfiber Rayon/Spandex blend.I prefer my bells to be long and for them to cover my feet and shoes, and I prefer wearing boots or platforms, so they are the perfect length for me! I don’t find them too long in flip flops or bare feet because I’m not tripping over them. If you’re someone that likes your bells to barely touch the ground in flats...(unless you’re 5’8 or up) you may find these to be too long and you may want to hem them. If you’re like me and like longer bells, you will be over the moon!The colors are pretty true to the picture for the mustard and the burgundy, although I think they’re prettier in person. They’re high waisted and the top band is exactly what I look for in a bell. I prefer flat banded waist over elastic because you can fold them over easily and comfortably without any lumps should you want them to sit lower on the hips.Now, I haven’t washed these yet and because I have other pairs made from the same fabric from other brands I can tell you that over time they will become a bit looser in the waist and butt, especially if you wash them with heavier items like jeans, so I recommend washing them inside out (this will extend the period of the micro fiber fabric from looking a little faded in the butt) on delicate cycle in cold with lighter weight items (like tees or delicates) with similar colors and drying on low until ALMOST dry and then hanging with a pants or skirt hanger or laying them flat to finish drying. Line drying them when they’re soaking will cause them to stretch out more from the weight of the water. Trust me, I’m a pro at washing pants like these. It’s taken awhile to perfect a system that keeps them in shape as long as possible. Also, don’t wash them more often than you absolutely need to.I really adore these and they are going on the top of my list along with Show Me Your Mumu, Novella Royale, and SMT (on Amazon).They look and feel amazing on and they’re not see through (I’d still match my panties though or wear nude color to play it safe) if you plan to wear them out.Totally recommend them!

Great but weird packaging
Based on what everyone reviewed, I got a small and it was the correct choice for sure. I'm 5'4" and 150 pounds. Most of my weight is in my legs and these fit great. A bit long for 5'4" (like 2" too long). The seam on the waist part was itchy but the seams down the legs weren't. Idk if that will soften after a wash just yet. They're SUPER soft and stretchy. Definitely don't think they're going to have any type of "control" because they're very loose. Even for as thin as they are, the black ones aren't see through at all.... Or at least I couldn't tell lolThey smelled really bad (haven't washed yet to see if it goes away) and they arrived in a plastic bag that had a zipper. Anyone could have stolen them along the transit. Really weird clear packaging. That's the only negative. I love them and will definitely buy more in other patterns!

Cute sizing is strange
So they are super cute, comfy, and the colors are amazing. I do wear them regularly but they are definitely made for a certain body type.They aren't jean material like I thought they would be, they are stretchy yoga pant material. With that being said there are no pockets or belt loops. Let me start with telling y'all I'm 5ft 10inches and 142 pounds and ended up with the medium. If you are tall and thin like me you may run into some issues with sizing. The leg length to waist ratio wasn't too great. If I got the correct size in the waist (small) I needed 2 sizes up for length. But the size that fit my length (large) are huge in the waist. So I went in the middle and bought a medium. They are a little shorter than I would like and a little baggy in the waist. Since there is no belt loops there is not much I can do with that. So for us tall ladies there is definitely an issue in sizing.

Not the best material
All I’ve done is try them on, I haven’t had a chance to wear the pants out yet. They are super cute, make my butt look big, and fit my curves and height just right. 5’8-161lbs. I got a Large.My only complaint is the fabric. They are soft but thin. It feels like they are going to get a hole in them or rip the first time I wash them. I mean the fabric feels fragile as heck. If you have an old loose cotton T-shirt with hole in it that’s basically see through, thats how this feels in thinness and softness. I like a more thick, elastic like fabric on my pants. It makes me feel more secure. I know women love to wear thongs. But I do not. I refuse to wear floss between my butt cheeks. And these are so thin, you have to wear a thong. I ordered the Black pair. They are not see through that I could tell just by trying them on. Also, the waist goes up super high, thats fine. But the fabric is so thin it feels like its going to roll down on my belly if I sit or bend over. And the bottoms look like they are going to roll up. Like how thin fabric with roll at the ends.They are still cute tho and I will wear them until I can’t any longer. If they don’t last long I will update my review.

Soft, resilient, leggy bells
These are SO cute. Similar items on ETSY range around $65. There are a few flaws in the fabric up near the waist band, but not at all noticeable. They are buttery soft with what I would call a "lambskin" feel. Of course they are a poly blend. I have some other leggings out of this same type of material and they feel incredibly soft like they would be flimsy but they have survived 3 years being worn on a weekly basis, sometimes twice a week. Stains don't stick in this material either. I am expecting similar performance from these bell bottoms. The bells are big, very flowy dance-pants. I am 5'8" 180 lbs. I bought the medium and they fit good. The large would probably fit too but might be too long. These are great for longer legged people. The high waist makes them suitable if you have a bit of a muffin top like I do. I bought the maroon stripes and they are so freaking cute. I'm definitely going to buy more. Comfy, flowy, and femme.

Girlfriend loves them - great material
Got these as a gift for my partner, they’ve become one of her favourite pairs of leggings even beating out her lululemons on a comfort scale.Great shaping and accentuating of one’s natural body shape, and the high waist means she rarely runs into the bell bottoms being of issue / getting stepped on.Stitching isn’t of the highest quality, so can lead to some weakening stitches after much extended wear and many washes, so not ideal for a work or high physical activity environment- but for normal everyday wear they’ve served her very well and she loves to wear them.She recommends them to all her friends haha definitely worth a try if you’re considering.

Personally ~ too long !
Nice soft fabric but I’m 5’11 ( 178cm) so tall and I can’t wear them without falling over them ! If you can sew ~ they WERE a nice fit .

Very Light Weight
I bought Med Navy Blue .... I usually take a med, 157lbs/5'6".....I have long normal legs, but a bit of Muffin Top area around waist, as very short wasted.... The leg fit perfectly and bell bottom great!!!!!!! the waist feel loose and not very stable, as the material is very thin.... I love soft material, only thing that would be better is a tummy control.... I will order again but in small....next time.... Hope this helps!!!
