The fabric is absolutely beautiful, breathable, soft and moves with the body. I absoutely love the batik designs and would have given 5 stars if they fitted properly. I am a size 14 and chose the one size 8-18. I purchased 3 pants. I personally beleive the (one size 8-18) would not be suitable for sizes 8, 10 or 12. I am size 14 and had to move the extra material to the back via the elastic waist band which was quite bulky. To me the sizing should say sizes 16-18. The pants had an ink smell to them but is removed after first wash. In saying that if the pants fitted me propely i would have purchased more designs.
