These are stretchy, which in my definition usually means COMFORT. These meet that definition. On my size 12 body they hug my waist and hips just right and then flow downward leaving my booty and waist looking good! I have worn these to a few corporate events and always receive compliments. I am ready for you to feel confident in these lovely pants. I also love the attached slip belt, Best with a tucked in top and heels if your shorter!
