These jeans are fabulous! I wear vintage or retro styles pretty much full time now, and finding high waist pants that fit me properly can be an exercise in frustration. I'd heard to many great things about Freddie's, though, so finally I decided to take the plunge. I'm really glad I did! They fit incredibly well, and they're so flattering on my shape. There are so things that I find strange about the fit - they're a bit tight in the front, especially when sitting, and I do have a gap in the back at the waist. Overall, though, I recommend them really highly, especially if you have a large different between your waist and your hips.
