my new favorite pant
I really liked everything about these pants, so much in fact I purchased the other colors as well. 5’4 and ordered 10 petite. I’ve gained some serious weight from medicine and the moment I put these on, I felt like me again. They hit just above my ankles, slimmed out my lower belly, and are a great stretchy material. Perfect for teaching as I am constantly up and down. No wrinkles to worry about.

ONLINE CLOTHES SMELL TERRIBLE
I ordered these pants online. When they arrived the smell of chemicals was so strong that I had to return the pants. I even had to throw out the bag I carried it in to the store. I was able to purchase the same pants at Macy's for $20.00 cheaper and no smell....Nordstrom, you could do better!

LOVE
Love these black ankle slacks! Great material and they look wonderful. I can wear depending on brand sizes 8, 10 and 12. I bought both the 8 and 10 on the W&W and ended up keeping the 8. If you’re looking for a nice pair of black ankle slacks pick these up you won’t be disappointed.

Comfortable fabric but size way down
I ordered these to wear as a travel pant-comfy, wrinkling and black color to hide marks. Unfortunately they run 1 to 2 sizes too big if using the size chart. After trying the pants on, I checked to make sure they had sent the right size. Also, the “skyrise” part is very accurate as the top of the waist is almost to my bust. The pants are cut very straight up and down; combined with the width of the legs there was no hint of my shape. Some of that can be attributed to the sizing but this cut just didn’t work on me. Returning.
