Had to share a big thank you to Angie for this recommendation. These are sure to become a major part of my warm weather wear. I did not want a culotte with a very wide leg, and these fit the bill. They do not cling, yet are sleek at the hips and waist. Beautiful fabrication and structure, yet comfortable to wear and will dress up or down. The perfect "gateway" pair of culottes for newbies like me. They run true to size and are about the same length on me as the model, though I am likely a few inches shorter. Also have to add that after I purchased them at full price, BR had one of their frequent 40% off sales. I called and they immediately applied the discount to my already shipped order of three items. Great customer service.
