I think I ended up getting Diva ankle pants instead of Pixie pants - they were on the same table, same fabric, but the cut was more forgiving to my hips and thighs. I also sized up.
I ordered the black with white dots and the blue houndstooth. These pants are horrendous. They are incredibly thin. There's no structure through the leg so they don't even look like pants. They're essentially leggings.
But now I'm on the hunt for a pair of adequate blue houndstooth pants. I'm in love with the pattern.
Something must be wrong with me. I bought the pixie pants after jenny1980 posted them and I had to size down. They still get baggy by the ed dyne day and attract all the things, but I like them. I have 3 colors. I don't care for the patterned ones. I ordered the polka dot ones and they looked cheap.
I am wearing the pixie pants right now. After two wears, the seam in the undercarriage has split. I'm not good with the terms, but there were two layers of stitching, and one has now unraveled and there is just one seam keeping my underwear and ass from peeking out to the world.
They feel good and fit well but I am one squat away from ripping my ass in half. Whee!
