I wore these gold pants for my husbands 50th birthday party. Super fun and comfortable. I did cut the bottoms with scissors because they were so long but because of the sequins and flowy material, you can’t tell when wearing them. For reference, I am 5’5” and wore 3” heels and the length was perfect. These run small. I’m usually always a small 2/4 and these are a size medium. They do have an elastic waist. They are lined.
