I recently purchased a pair of the "puddle" ish style I am seeing everywhere lately and scored well so wanted to share. I have had my eye on the long (full length) and wide leg pant trend showing up everywhere and coveting the look.

I am curvy (and have gained 15 lbs over the years). My waist - although expanding - is still smaller than my ample and very round bottom. Just giving folks a sense of my shape and how the pants fit.

the Gap High Rise Strde Jean fits like a glove and the shape of the leg is actually flattering. I do not feel it adds unattractive volume or added "chunk" to me. I usually feel "bigger" than I am in many of the wider leg pants - even if they are full length. So I was plesantly surprised and wanted to share.

The waist sits high - but not too high (for me). I am short waisted and generally do not like high or super high rises. I am a mid-rise gal mostly. But this jean does the trick for me. Oh for got to mention I am 5'5" wiht a long inseam - 32' is perfect length for me and I can wear flats or tennis shoes no problem. The jeans give me that long and flowing look without feeling "dumpy" or "chunky". I have already worn them a few times and like the swish I get waling in them.
