Velvet Wide Leg Trousers

I ordered these online thinking for the price of them that they'd be the perfect trousers to have to carry me through any evening occasion be it Dinner, Party or Wedding 'Do'. The minute I took them out of the bag though I was disappointed. In order to hang right and move properly Velvet has to have some weight to it, and there is NO weight to these trousers at all. It may be because of the Silk in the fabric but apart from the shine I could find no added value from the addition of Silk the fabric felt soft alright, but it also felt thin and flimsy. They were far too long for my legs and the in-seam looked crooked to me, that might've been caused by the journey from the warehouse to me, but a closer look at the model in the online details shows the same thing, the lack of weight means the hemline looks wobbly. Apart from this being a great style these were a real disappointment so much so that I didn't even bother trying them on.

Nice width for wide cut. Little long for a medium but ok for me as little taller. Found pockets pulled open slightly but not enough to worry about. Probably my hips. Must be ok with other purchasers as many sizes sold out.

At first I Loved them, but they got holes within a day of wearing around the house. Really loved the velvet, the design, but the quality was awful. Really disappointed.

I wanted velvet trousers for Christmas time. Pleased with these except the length. Short was a much longer than usual. Have had them altered.

Ordered these trousers for night out with friends on city break.Slightly too long for heels so plan to have them shortened for next outing.Received compliments from friends & really comfortable to wear.

The seam at the back of the trousers appears not to be central, and the pockets stick out a bit, and one has a hole in it already - disappointed

These were too fashionable, eg very wide legs, for me. I just wanted a nice pair of smart velvet trousers - not too baggy and not too tight. Unfortunately at my age these trousers made me look like a clown. Maybe they look good on young, slim, tall girls but they did nothing for me. Shame because the material was lovely and if they had been straight I would have kept them.

Lovely material, very promising - until I tried them on. They felt comfortable but a look in the mirror was enough to make me send them back. I'm not overly 'hippy' but the way the pockets lie on the front meant they stuck out at the sides and then I was not only 'hippy' but a strange shape. I had high hopes for these. If they had been pocket less I'd have kept them. The pockets were just too big and with this very relaxed fabric distorted the shape.

Lovely trousers. Light weight and comfy Was hoping to get matching jacket but sold out in black, however, they will look good with either another jacket or even a jumper etc

Beautiful idea, but the fabric is very thin and I expect would not wash well. Also, I couldn't do it up round my waist. I know I have a belly, but a size 18 usually fits.
