Palazzo design is really fabulously stylish. Generous leg room at thigh & wide width elastic waist design. They run large. I wear 8/10 & sz large is a little too big. But I kept because they still look awesome. Bought a medium & they fit really comfortably. Very flattering & comfy & funky! Dress up or tie a T-shirt up for a more casual look! I’m 5’6” & weigh 155 & usually wear sz 8/10. Medium fits the best! Fabric is awesome & they machine wash fabulous!!! I bought two pair, black & tan. Super happy w purchases.

They arrived wrinkly but still cute. I loved them and was concerned about washing them due to reviews. I washed on gentle cycle with cold water. Then, I hung them to dry. They were pretty heavy when wet, but after they dried, they were light weight and weirdly, almost all the wrinkle were gone. When I put them on, they were inperceptibly shorter (good thing becuase I was concerned about stepping on them at 5' 3/4". I could also see the pleats after they dried. I couldn't see them the first time when they were wrinkly. They looked really nice, but the look did change from ultra relaxed to a little more dressed. The smocked waist is better looking in some light, cheaper looking in other light, but what a deal. These will be GREAT for summer!!! I usually order XL and these were true to size. I'm sure if I stretched them, there would be tons of room, but if I sized down, I doubt the pleats would drape as well and they wouldn't sit on my hips the same.

TLDR — Size down at least 1 size, if not 2. Length is good for some petites (5'1" to 5'3") and regular height (up to 5'7"). I'm 5'2" and weigh between 165-170 lbs. depending on the time of the month. My measurements are 41" Bust - 36" Waist - 41" Hips. I generally wear size 10-12 or L-XL depending on the brand, fabric, type of clothing, etc. I have a small FUPA but no butt, so occasionally I can size down to a size 6-8 or M (Medium) depending on the stretch of the fabric. I'm short-waisted and usually wear mid- or high-rise with a short or regular inseam depending on the pants and type of shoes I'm wearing. I ordered size L (Large) as suggested by Amazon in the color white, and it's too loose and baggy overall. The smocked waistband is comfortable and super stretchy. The white linen pants have lining inside all the way down except 6" from the bottom so it's not see through! You can't see the deep pockets... maybe very faintly if you're looking really hard in the picture. (I wish other white pants are lined like this, because there is nothing more annoying than having white pants that are practically transparent where you can see the pockets or even your nude underwear.) Because the pants are lined, it does add some noticeable weight to the overall feel of the pants, and along with the super stretchy smocked waistband, it causes them to slowly slide down. The pockets are deep and a great addition, and you could fit a phone in there, but because of the overall "heaviness" of the fabric and lining, the phone would definitely pull down the pants because the waistband won't support it. For this reason, I would size down to a size Medium for a relaxed fit or even a Small for a tighter fit. I'm only 5'2" and have the smocked waistband pulled above my belly button. The length of these pants are 41.5" with an inseam of 27.5". I'm wearing 2" platform sandals where the pants are almost grazing the floor. If you're shorter than 5'2" and don't want to wear 3" heels/ wedges/ platform sandals, these may be too long for you. Check the size chart for the overall length of the pants. According to the tag, this is made in China and it's only 30% linen and 70% rayon. It says, "Dry clean only. Do not bleach. Steam iron." I used a garment steamer to get the wrinkles out. The fabric isn't scratchy like typical linen since this isn't 100% linen. It felt light and breathable, even in hot, humid 92°F weather. Sitting on them obviously causes them to wrinkle in the back but the front remains mostly wrinkle free. Based on the size chart, I think going by the hip measurement would be best. Size medium for me would provide a much better fit where the waistband is hopefully a little tighter but the pants are still relaxed enough, while size small would provide an overall tighter fit. I'm debating on washing these to shrink them down a little as others have mentioned. Aside from the dry cleaning care instructions, who has time for that?! I do like these pants a lot and will order another pair or two in different colors and smaller sizes. I'll update my review later if I remember.

I wish I had paid more attention to the material. These are only 30% linen with 70% rayon but are listed as linen pants. While comfortable with nice pockets and a good fit, they don’t breathe that well. I found myself sweating a lot in them. I don’t have ac at my job and it’s pretty hot where I work. Some people mentioned shrinkage, but I just washed them cold and hung them out to dry and they were fine. Color is nice, style is more “wrinkled” pleated so look so no need to iron. Great pants for the right environment.

I bought a beige pair , liked so much bought the green . Fit is comfortable. Dress up , dress down . Bought for a cruise . Felt comfortable, and confident. Perfect if your a curvy fit!

Love them. I'm 5'10" and they go to my ankles. Because it's linen they do shrink a little after washing. Also, like most womens pants the pockets are on the smaller side. The material itself is slightly transparent but not enough to be a concern, at least not with the black color. I would order them again.

These are very cute and comfy, however, I took off a star because this pair are not long enough for pants, I am 5’6”, hips 40”, waist 30”. The pants are above my ankle and still look good so I’m ok with that. The top elastic waist is tiny and tight, I added about 2” of elastic to correct the problem, finally the material is heavy for summer pants. For the cost plus the fact that I had to tailor the pants, it may not be worth it for some people

I think the pants are really cute and comfy and they were exactly what I was looking for. I was getting ready to buy a pair in another color but I wanted to wash them first. I ordered a medium instead of my usual small because some other reviews had mentioned shrinking. They fit a bit loosely and were a little long so I thought I was in the clear (I’m 5’5”, 135 lbs). Even washing on delicate cycle with cold water they shrunk a ton. They were high waisted before and now I have to scoot them down to hip huggers to get them to be even close to the ground. Really bummed! Definitely order a size up, and probably skip if you have long legs.

These pants are really beautiful. High quality material. They are just slightly long for me (I have 28 inch inseam and these are about 29 or 30), but one wash should shrink them just a little bit. They are comfortable and look great. Would highly recommend.

Have these in 2 other colours. Great pant, fit well, just what you want in a wide leg linen type pant. Fabric is thick - so could be warm on very hot days. I returned this paid as they were darker then I had wanted.

I really liked these pants when I first wore them. The colour and fit is great. However, after the first wash, they shrank up quite badly. I’m only 5’2” and they are now too short on me. Definitely hang these to dry!

These pants were adorable and I absolutely loved them until I washed them and they are now too small for comfort - and an odd length. Too long to be capris and to short to wear normally. Not sure what I'm going to do with them now.

Great pants that can be dressed up or dressed down. Nice quality fabric. I will get another pair.
