Rafaella Women's Plus Size Curvy Fit Gabardine Bootcut Dress Pants (Size 16-22)

The size is larger for an asian

5-7, 240, 50" butt -- I ordered by the size the guidelines in the photos . I was surprised, but the fit was perfect. I had been sure it would be too small. The quality seems medium-- lightweight, quite wrinkle-resistant. I do not yet know how it will stand up to washing.

I honestly LOVE these pants and pretty much only wear them for work. The pockets are a bit small in comparison to current cell phone size however they are comfortable and affordable. That being said I've bought them (on my Amazon account and my husband's) for years and they've NEVER been $60. So if you are seeing them marked at 50% off at around $30 Amazon isn't being 100% truthful. They are probably going off of mfsp and not their sale price.

These pants are comfortable to wear... but, the reason for a 3 star rating instead of 5 is because the "with pockets" part of the description to these pants are mmisleading. As, it made me think that these pants had pockets that are useful. Plus, in order to use these "pockets" I had to rip open the threading. What would of happened had I done so and ripped it to where I ruined the pants? These pants need real pockets!! If you like pants that are comfortable yet have the illusion of useful pockets then these are the pants to buy. If these pants had real pockets I would buy these again... but, sadly they don't so I won't.

I bought my first pair in November 2014, size 22W. (The tag says made in China) The pants fit great and they were the most comfortable pair of pants that I had ever worn for work. As time passed I lost weight and because the first pair I bought fit amazingly, I bought a second pair, size 20W, a few months later. This was when I first noticed the quality change. (The tag says made in Indonesia) The fabric didn't seem to be the same quality, it wasn't as soft or comfortable, but it still fit great so I didn't complain.Now these pants are the only work pants I own. I have worn the first two pairs I bought between 3-4 days a week every week for two years. Aside from being a bit too big for me now, they are both still in good condition. Anyway, year passed and I lost some more weight and bought a size 18W in August 2016. (The tag also says made in Indonesia)This third pair that I bought last August, I also wore for the same 3-4 days a week. However, the quality of this pants is very different from the first two. Some chafing of the fabric started in the crotch area where my legs rub together early on and only got worse over time. And now less that six months later the material in the area is completely worn down, threadbare and there are two holes in my pants.I wore the first two for over two years and never had any problems. In fact they are still in excellent condition. Why am I suddenly having this problem? The only reason I can think of is there there has been some kind of change with the manufacture of the pants because everything I have done for the last two years and six months has been exactly the same.Where as I use to recommend these pants to everyone, I feel I should warn people. They still fit well but the quality of the pants has changed. Buyer be warned.The fit is good as always. Just bought another two pairs. They are 16W and 18W. Lost more weight and now I’m boarding between the two.

**Update** So, I was desperate for a pair of pants in this color for an event, was wearing a long top and ordered another pair. I hit "buy it again," so no mistake on my end.The pair I received looks similar to the old ones, but is a different material, different color, different waistband, even a different tag.Whereas the last pairs had an amazing fit, this one is significantly smaller, stiff and rough fabric, and a tight, ridged waistband that feels awful to sit down in (and tries to push up into my bra when I bend over...)First off, I LOVE the fit and feel of these pants. Out of the many, many options I tried, these are absolutely my favorite. They look great, they feel great without being too loose or too tight, they don't stretch out as badly over the course of the day as most of my other pants do, and therefore required less washing over all.Now... the bad. I've had two pairs now, and I don't know if it's how they're shipped or what happens to them where, but both have come with the exact same diagonal creases down the butt where at some point they were folded badly either for a long time, or under a lot of pressure.These creases are NOT removable. I've tried everything, including bringing them to a professional, because I loved how they fit and looked. Nothing even remotely budged these set in creases.And they're bad. This isn't just some little wrinkle line, this is a double fold deep crease that is terribly noticeable when they're worn.I have taken to wearing them with long cardigans only, drastically reducing my outfitting options. (I took all the tags off to wash and iron them, never assuming they'd have a permanent blemish, and was unable to return them, then ordered a new pair expecting they wouldn't be EXACTLY THE SAME and returned that pair.)So, it's extra disappointing to have finally found the mythical *perfect pair* of pants only to have them be largely unwearable.
