these pants are amazing! I would say they actually run a touch large. I had previously purchased these in a size small and they were too big and I had to re-home them as I tried to shrink them, but just they didn’t shrink up the way I had hoped! My waist is 26” and my hips are 38”
These newer jeans (the last pair I purchased was almost 2 years ago) are touch different as there’s a little bit of elastic in the back waistband which I think is great for some extra stretch. These are so flattering and just hitting all the right spots! Highly recommend these!

I love all of the ponte cigarette pants Micheline makes, and this material is a close second. I usually wear a large in the ponte pants but sized up to a 2x with these. Which made them a little baggy in the front, but the waist and length are very perfect. Still very happy with them.

I bought a size small and it is so large compared to others!

The pants are thin denim and the legs are loose i don't love these for $92. I also think the care instructions are fussy for denim. I'm not in love with these at all. They are flattering but not comfortable.

I’m disappointed 2 fold.
1. The elastic band is NOT my look.
The ,what is now, first iteration of cigarette pants were among my favorite pieces to wear. They had a lovely stretch that ebbed and flowed as my weight did. It was great. The elastic isn’t the bad girl look.
The pants don’t have the sleekness I wish they still had.
2. I am disappointed in myself for not seeing the *updated description* citing the new elastic waist band.

The perfect jeans! Fit perfectly, better quality than most expensive jeans. The elastic in the back is perfect to nip the waist. I’m 30-44 and went for a size M.
it’s tight just enough. The only thing is that I wish there was a belt placement.

These are *true* high-waisted jeans! The elastic in the back part of the waistband means it's a comfortable wear, and the rise hits at the perfect spot on my waist! My only gripe is the pockets--they are a little long in the opening, so things tend to fall out if I walk around. But the fact that you made cigarette-style pants with pockets delights me to no end!

Love these pants, thicker denim than my other two pairs so I needed to size up since they aren't as flexible. But I love the look of these!

I love these pants however they seem to run larger than ones I’ve purchased in the past. I put them through two wash and dry cycles and they’ve shrunk a little bit at least! Also, please I would say it would be great if they lined the waistband with some thicker interfacing as the waistband loses its shape after I throw it in the wash. You can get it back into a good shape by ironing it with a spray starch.

I don't understand, I bought these pants before and they fit perfectly I loved them, they even git me better than the black cigarette pants. I wanted to buy a second pair because I loved them so much and when I tried them on they fit SO big. I had previously bought them in a small as my measurements are 26 waist and 37 hips. So I obviously got them in the same size as before and they are so big and baggy, I am going to have to take them in. I don't know if they changed them or if their sizing is inconsistent but I am so saddened because these were my favorite pants. :(

I was never sure about the denim cig pants but saw a rave review from another Vixen and loved the other pants, so went for it I do not regret this purchase. They may even be my favourite. When I first tried them on they were stiff and a bit loose on calf's and front crotch area had extra fabric. But with a cold wash they shrank and softened a bit to the perfect size. Be careful ordering don't size down as they can shrink. But they are amazing and go with everything. Very comfortable soft thin denim which moulds to you. So flattering for girls with big hip to waist ratio. Mine is 12" difference.

The Vixen cigarette pants are absolute perfection! I have 3 pairs (black, denim and gingham) and all are incredible! This pair is sturdy yet comfortable. I am 5’9”, waist 32” hip 40”, and the Large is spot on! My favorite brand for cigarette pants. <3

So pleased with my new Vixen pants! They look and feel great and I can dress them up with heels or casual tee and trainers. I can't keep them off me.

I was for real worried I would look like hot garbage in these pants, but the fit turned out to be amazing! I'm not very curvy and was worried I would end up with extra fabric at the hips - bit the fit is firm and what little curve I have is enhanced! I really like that it nips in at the waist just a bit to add to the effect, amd the generous pockets also make my hips look a bit bigger. I've worked so hard with lifting the last few months so having something that fits well compared to regular clothing is like night and day! The fabric is also very thick and firm, so I still need to test if they are suited to the Las Vegas heat - and if not I guess there are always the Vixen shorts to try next!

I ordered a size L and they fit perfectly! My measurements are 40-32-42. I got these to replace my daily go-to pants up until now, the Deadly Dames cotton twill cigarette pants. These are a higher quality material, have already lasted twice as long and are much more flattering. The waist is higher for us long torso gals and I also love the handy pockets!
Becky K.
I'm 29/41 with a high rise and big bum. And the large fits perfectly! I chose not to size down to prevent unsightly ruching etc. But they aren't baggy in the leg at all! I have a 33 inseam and they cut off just above the ankle which is perfect for this style!

So I’m between sizes and I can just barely fit in my beloved XL leopard pair. I sized up to 2X and that was the wrong move.
I had to take in the waist, and the fit isn’t quite right.
These are great pants, if you are “hourglass” shaped,size down if you are between sizes.

There's no way for me to talk about how much I love these pants without sounding impossibly dramatic, but they really are that good — good enough for me to give up my semi-regular pilgrimages to buy $19 H&M pants and spend more money than I'd ever spent on a single item of clothing before. (And then spend it again to get these pants in black, pink and black-and-white gingham.) The high, nipped-in waist and flared thighs create a perfect hourglass silhouette, and every top you wear with them looks more vintage by association.
The only caveat I have is that the thighs are quite significantly flared, so when I ordered the size that matched my waist measurement — small — the thighs looked a bit pantaloony. I sized down to an extra-small, which had a tighter waist but fit perfectly on my legs. I've seen some commenters recommend just washing the pants to shrink the thighs a bit if they seem large, but honestly, it was way less anxiety-inducing to just make the exchange for the next smallest size.

Love the fit of these jeans the quality is great

These pants are a dream! I am always hesitant to purchase I can’t try on. I have a natural hour glass figure and I always have to alter the fit of any pant at the waist to get the perfect fit. These pants fit me perfectly in all the right places.
They are a tad long in the leg for me and the look I was going for. So I just tucked them under in this picture. They stayed like all day.
I would highly recommend these pants and look forward to getting them in other colors.
Patricia S.
These pants hit everywhere you want them too!! Make sure to go by size chart!
Anne S.
These are great! But I've never run into denim pants that need to be dry-cleaned?
Ashley M.
Love these pants! I own them in denim and leopard print. Can’t wait to purchase my next pair.
Libby
I reach for these pants ALL THE TIME - too much actually! Absolutely highly recommend.

These jeans fit amazingly! I washed in vinegar as recommended, and there’s been no dye transfer. I took an XL and have a 32” waist, so there’s room for tacos. The denim also loosens slightly after a few wearings, and can be snapped back to its original size in the dryer.
Christine R.
These fit me snug in the waist, perfect in the hips, and almost a little baggy in the legs. I put them in the dryer on low after running them thru a cold cycle in the wash. They fit great without being too clingy. I also didn't notice any color bleed after washing. Very flattering and comfortable! For reference, I am 37" waist, 44" hips and got an XL.
Loren C.
I love these pants, they're perfect for knowing around on the weekend or dressing up.
Linda H.
Can't get enough of Michelines' pants!! At 60, I'm a true "vintage vixen", and it's hard to find comfy, lovely pants that hide that "old girl droop" under the belly button, but these beauties do that in spades! Plus, POCKETS!! What's not to love!!
Kyrsten M.
Love these! I have them in leopard and denim. I would absolutely love a pair in brown “twill”with western pocket detailing!
Ash C.
I love these!! So comfortable and beautifully constructed. A little more give than the black cigarette pants but the waist band is firm and doesn't stretch much so I'd go off your waist measurement. I love the color of the jean...dark but not too dark that they look like they're black. Gives such a smooth silhouette and are super slimming. These are mediums at 28.5" waist and 40" hips.
