I returned these. I have two other pairs of MA jeans, similar to this but denim, one in ankle length and one full length. They are favorites and I couldn't wait to receive this pair in red... but... the fit is awkward. They are a very thin fabric, and they sort of flare out around the ankle a little in a strange way. I debated a bit, but returned and found something similar, but much nicer looking, for less than half the price at a local store. Bummed, as I love this under-belly style.I really love the cut of these pants. I ended up buying them in Cement, Black, & Coral. Beware, though, they run extremely small. I was 5'4", 105lbs, pre-pregnancy & finally ended up settling with a size Medium. Even then, I wasn't very comfortable in them towards the end of my pregnancy. Trust me, go at least two sizes up.Comfortable and flattering fit, however you do need to go up 1-2 sizes. I'm 5'5 145 pre-pregnancy and usually in a 6, sometimes an 8 in "skinny" jean styles, but I had to get a large in these pants...and they just fit. They are a great weight and feel for spring into summer, especially since there is no full panel to overheat you! Probably going to order a second pair in white and some other colors too.Just received the Cherry and Cement colors in the mail today. I am very pleased with my purchase and wish there were more available colors in my size. I ordered a medium in both but they are VERY tight. I am currently 5'7" and 155 lbs. I was a size 6 pre pregnancy so I ordered the medium with the understanding that medium was a 8-10. I've gained 12lbs so far and I figured a slightly larger size wouldn't hurt. Well I'm 20 weeks today and I can tell you right now, these mediums aren't gonna fit for long! I could see myself ordering more in a size large when that day comes. I love the quality and feel of these pants.These are tight in the hips/thighs/booty. I certainly carry extra weight here when I'm pregnant, and I assume that lots of other pregnant women do too. There wasn't much stretch to the fabric, so i could not wear them. I have other Maternal America maternity pants that I do wear, so I think they just got too enthusiastic on the "skinny" part of these and didn't translate them well to maternity needs. They went back.The fit is good but the fabric attracts lint. The pants are warm and suitable for the winter.The band on the belly is so tight it's uncomfortable. I'm going to have to cut it to wear them. I'm a very small pregnant person & still found these so uncomfortable I regretted wearing them to work. The style was cute if only the waist band had more give.Nice fabric, but fits extremely small. I'm normally a 0 or an xs in all pants. I had to exhange these for medium and the band still put unpleasant pressure on my belly (at 5 months).
