I did not expect much when I ordered these pants, but I was looking for something that was easy care, comfortable, and fun for a lengthy cruise. These actually exceeded my expectations, with a comfortable waistband and plenty of room. The fabric is actually better than expected; it has a little stretch, but keeps its shape nicely. The pattern is sophisticated and fresh, and the fit is perfect. They fold neatly to take up almost no room in my suitcase with no wrinkles which is a big plus when you're traveling. In my opinion this is a very good buy for the price, and I will definitely buy another pair in a different pattern!
