I sized up for more length but found there to be too much fabric on the sides so I had a seamstress take them in a bit. The waist wasn’t altered, only the side seams were taken in. This is the less creamy, earlier iteration, the newer candlelight silk is a little more warm (and didn’t work so well with my coloring). Adore them, just do not know how to style them without looking like I forgot my pants ?? Currently sold out on their website!!
