The pants run very small. I have a butt so it was near impossible to zip them up (zip is in the back). These pants are designed to be pretty tight so if you think a large would work, honestly it's best to size up. If they're big, tailoring should be minimal and quick.

Thanks Mel! I'm definitely going to go with an extra large just to be on the safe side based on your advice. I also a butt too, lol ;)

I have to agree with Mel, though I don't have the Cig pants I do have the capris and I am glad I went a size up.

Mel - how do these fit in the legs?  For the capris everything fits great until we get to below the knee, I have large calves and I find the pants run up a bit at the knee.

Hi Jean.

I have the same problem as you regarding large calves. These were very tight in the calves and I know they would work their way up my leg had I decided to keep the pants. It's weird, like things will be tight-ish in the thighs, a little loose in the knees, and then waaay tight around my calves. Damn my athletic legs (that are not toned at all haha)!!

Thanks Mel.  This just saved me from buying the pants only to be disappointed later on.  It sounds like you and I are from simular moulds where having a butt and large calves presents a problem when buying clothing.

Indeed it does! What have you found works best for you? I'd love to buy bottoms from PUG but I'm sure that even if I lost weight, my calves would still pose a problem. I usually stick with dresses but I tend to buy longer ones (they stop right around the knee). I'd like to branch out but I hate my legs!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know that the Cigarette pants came in the mail a little while ago, I went with the XL which was a size up and they fit fantastic!

They have a little wiggle room but that's okay because that means I can actually sit down, squat, and have a full range of motion, so yay for that :)

I'll post the product shots in a blog this weekend, thanks for the advice Mel and Jean :)
