Wide Leg Rochelle Suspender Pants

Unfortunately I trusted the reviews saying it runs big and I was between sizes so got the smaller one. The pants run LONG but otherwise the sizing is correct so the ones I got are slightly too small. They’re so gorgeous though (and they didn’t have the size up anyway) that I’m keeping them and just going to have to deal with the super tight bodice section that I can only JUST zip up. Fabric a little thinner than anticipated for the price but still lovely.

I order and returned these due to sizing issues (order L/10-12 according to size chart). Reordered (M/6-8) and they fit perfectly. The only thing is they are too long for flats, so will probably have to alter them, but aside from that, they look great. Very flattering and the pockets are deep enough, so not for pure esthetics. Would definitely buy again and in other colours if available.

I bought these pants to add them as one of the basic items in my vintage wardrobe as well as to use them for my West Coast Swing events. My main problem was that my waist measurements put me in M while my hips put me in XL. So when I buy skirts or dresses, I usually go for M/6-8. This time I decided to size up to make sure my butt fits. =) It was a great decision. Yes, the pants are a little wide in the waist, but that's ok. I'd rather take them in than worry about tearing them. One of the issues mentioned in other reviews is that the suspenders are too short and the pants get shoved up your crack. For me, the suspenders are rather long but if I shorten them, the pants ride up. Idk if that's the pants issue or me - I have a long torso and hight waist and the same problem with another pair of pants I bought from Unique Vintage. Also, I'm 5'8 and the pants are long-long. They brush the floor even with my platform heeled shoes on. Gonna trim them. Finally, another issue mentioned - cheap static material. Yes, it's synthetic but for me, it feels nice. Heavy enough to give that flowy feeling. The pant legs are wide not to stick to the legs. So I personally have no complaints. Taking one star off for the sizing :D
