I purchased these in a 2x. The fabric is nice. Not heavy. Beautiful color. I just received these yesterday and have them on today at work. I AM HIGHLY HIGHLY UPSET. The stitching where the clasps are have already almost come off and the zipper will not stay up at all!!! I am going to have to go spend money at a tailor to have them sew a new zipper and sew the clasps back in place. Mind you the pants have plenty of room, i did not have to squeeze in them at all. My belly is not pushing on them at all. They are true to size. But the craftsmanship of the zipper and clasp are extremely poor. Outside of that i love the pants. I can not return them because the tag is off now so i have to get them altered. Purchase these understanding that the clasp and zipper may be bad. They are however tall girl friendly, wide legged and easy to move in. Pockets are real and nice size as well. Love that they have belt loops.
