Ponte Ankle Pants

I'm 5' 1", 120 lbs, with muscular legs and the 4P fit perfectly. Out of the box they had a crisp crease and were about an inch too long for my taste. They looked like dress pants, skimming my legs in a very flattering fit. Then I washed them. (And yes, the label says machine wash, delicates, tumble dry on low, not dry clean as in description here.) I put them in the dryer on low for only 10 minutes, simply to get the wrinkles out. The fabric is thick, so they still took several hours to air-dry. The good news is that they're now the right length; the bad is that they've become straight-up leggings. Fortunately, they're still appropriate for work (worn with a pretty tunic), thanks to the thickness of the fabric. But they will never be mistaken for dress pants again. That said, they do not wrinkle (only in the wash) and they don't bag out at the knees as badly as some other pants. They're super comfortable and the thickness of the fabric should carry these into fall and even winter. I do wish these had a side zipper. The front closure is relatively flat for what it is, but I can only wear flowing tops over it; otherwise, the bulge shows.

I purchased these to replace my MICHAEL by Michael Kors ponte pants which had pilled horribly after a few washings. Unlike the MKs, these don't have polyester and feel a bit more substantial. So far these are faring better. But, despite what the tag says, dry clean only or wash delicate and lay flat to dry. The MKs were also a little shorter. I like the slightly longer length of these. True to size. I wear a 28 or 29 in jeans, ~39-40 inch hip, ~140 lbs, 5'6", and the 6 fit nicely. Great purchase! Very versatile. It feels like wearing PJ's to work, but they look flattering and professional. Not too tight. Great with flats, high heel loafers, or booties.

I love these pants! They look so classy and beautiful! The material is substantial and you cannot see through it. I wash mine in cold water and let them air dry. They come out like new. A lot of reviews stated that the pants were more loose fitting in the normal size, but I found them to be true to size meaning not tight, not too relaxed. If you choose to size down, they may be too tight or fitted. I am 5'1, 26" waist, 36" hip. I bought the Petite 4.

I’ve purchased multiple pairs (in both gray and black) over the course of several anniversary sales. The last two pairs of black pants have torn right at the seam creating a hole. Worst part is it’s right at the butt! I do not have junk in the trunk so it’s definitely not my body shape causing the hole. Very disappointed in the recent change in quality!

I originally loved these pants because they are so comfortable and trendy with the ankle length, but after a day at work they get really saggy in the butt. I'm usually a size 4, but I knew these ran big so I have a size 2. They fit fine around the waist, but they weirdly pull up in front and sag in back. It's hard to tell whether I need to pull them up or pull them down. I work in a corporate setting, but I like to dress and feel very feminine still. These pants made me feel self conscious all day. I think next time I wear them I'll pair them with a baggier sweater with a collared shirt underneath.
