I really liked the print of the Reese Pant in Graphic Peony when I tried it on in the store so I though I would order it in the Petite to see if the fit was just a little better.
~ size 6 ~
The size 6 was all the way to the floor on me in length and bunched quite a bit in front. The waist was a nice fit (elastic) but the thighs could have a little more room.
~ size 8 Petite ~
The 8 Petite was a much better fit all over. There was less bunching in the front and the length was just at my ankle bone and not the floor like the size 6. I really like it with the silver Martina’s as well.
I have no business getting any pants since I am not in an office setting but I really really like these. I was able to get them with a % off while they were on promo for $79.99. It had to have been a mistake or something since it was before they went on sale.
Pricing and sizing say I should keep these but how much I would wear them is a factor in returning them. And I know as soon as Husband sees these he’ll say they are “old lady pants”. That’s his new phrase for everything I’ve been wearing. It’s all “old-lady” clothes. Particularly printed tops with a cardigan. I think he probably means it looks frumpy but can’t figure out the word. He’s gotten into my head since all I’ve been wearing lately are solid tees and tops and hesitate when reaching for a cardigan, which are a staple for me in Spring.
What do you think?

Interesting perception on your husband's part. My 20year old daughter wears cardigans all the time and I see them on Madewell's site every roll out. I love them, too!
The pants are so cute, but I'm always drawn to floral prints. I tried the Reese in black, but found the same bunching problem. Maybe I'll try another size because I really like the length and the detail at the side of the leg. Thanks for the review!!
Old lady pants?? Umm, I don't think I've ever seen something you've worn and thought, "grandma clothes". What are you supposed to wear? Anyway, you look lovely and have a great sense of style.
I've been dressing more plain as well. I doubt I'd buy them, but I think these pants are fun.
