The Favorite Pleated Wide Leg Pants

I generally wear a 4 or a size 27, I had read that these run small, so I ordered up a size, to a 6. I should have gone up two, to an eight. I was able to get them clipped, but they were definitely too tight. Makes me sad, because I loved everything else about them. I'm also tall, 5'11" - I saw another review that said their pants were extremely short, more like cropped pants, and that's not the experience I had. They for sure went all the way to the ground, I could easily wear a small heel with them. Not sure if someone else got a bad batch, or maybe someone hemmed them and then returned them.
