Great to use for Praise Dance!! I’ve been using these pants for 2 years now and still good condition. I take care of my pants so that’s why their good! I do recommend it. All the girls in my dance teams has these pants.I'm one of those tall people where these just brush the floor for me without shoes on because I've been wearing them at my waist and I have a long inseam - but if you have an average inseam for your clothing size and do not shop for long or 'tall' clothing you will probably need to hem or trim these.Hemming will change the lines of the bottom a bit...trimming could be a disaster if you don't know anyone who can cut a straight line. If you are ROUGH on your pants, I would recommend hemming because as they are, they will start deteriorate on the bottom if they stretch there a lot.I order this product for my daughter who is on the dance minsitry at our church although the items fits well, I was disappointed in the delivery time fame I did not recieve it in time for her performance, and was forced to scramble to borrow another members palazzo pants the night before the Sunday services my daughter had to perform. I had also order a bodysuit in which that arrived in enough time on the same day.Normally I wear a "medium" in S-M-L sized pants. (In jeans, I'm wearing 8, 10 and 12 , but the 10 and 12 are large most days--depends upon the mfg., as you know!). I used the sizing chart to purchase by waist measurement and the 1X worked out perfectly for me.You need someone else to measure from the floor or your desired shoe height and mark where they should be cut to length. Use sharp scissors and cut a smooth line. Hemming is unnecessary and would change the fluidity of the legs.Purchased for a dressy occasion, and paired with a black silk knit top from Winter Silks which matched perfectly. Wore a Shawl Dawl over top.I love these pants. I am 5-4 and 150 pounds. I bought the medium and the waist fits great. I was looking for comfortable pants that i could wear to work. They look professional and the length is great with heels...if you plan on wearing flats you will need to hem them. The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is because the material is thinner then expected. It still works great, but just be aware that it is thin.Pants are true to size but dont fret its elastic in the waist so there is extra room. Length is very long but you are able to trim them to your length. Very wide leg. Material has a little shine and hasvthe perfect weight. Absolutely love them. Does not cause any problems when dancing. Great purchase.It was perfect is just I am short so it was long on me but I love itFits true to size and can be hemmed up if needed - I'm tall and don't need to hem them. Good fabric and nicely made. Haven't used them yet for dance class but am sure they will be fantastic. Good price!
