High-Waist Pants on Highly Curved Body

How amazing are these houndstoothbottoms?  I love a bold print and these pants definitely fit the bill. I love the fact that they’re high-waisted, soft and extremely stretchy-perfect for accentuating those curves ladies!!  I see myself wearing them with a brightly colored top (button-down, turtleneck mock top, tank, etc) and pair of pumps/platforms or flats for a more relaxed look.  I love transitional pieces especially those that work in pretty much all seasons.  Ladies, do not hesitate on this purchase.  Believe me when I tell you, you will not be dissatisfied. (I have it in a 1x).

Sizing

These knit pants are from Iheartposh shoppe.  Posh Shoppe is a plus size online store based out of California.  They have great trendy pieces for women, sizes 1x and up.  Not only was this my first dealing with this great company, but it was my first time ordering plus size clothing online EVER.  I am what many would refer to as an “In-betweenie”-too big for most straight size clothing yet too small for most plus size clothing.  

With that being said, I wasn’t sure if their 1x truly fit like a 1x or more like an xl, and the same for the 2x.  In other words, I wasn't sure if I should size up or down.  Therefore, I chose 1 item in an 1x and the other in a 2x to give me an idea as to the sizing to go with, going forward.  Result- I am definitely not a 2x and the 1x is a tad bit loose but not anything I can’t work with.  Oh, for those wondering, I am generally a size 12/14.
