LOVE these!
These are my favorite dress slacks. Love the fit, love the amount of control, love that if I want extra I can still wear normal Spanx under. I got some Bod-a-bing and they definitely have more control, but don't feel they have as nice of a drape.
These are always my travel pants and I only wish they offered a capri length in these and other basic colors.

Over-Rated, Over-Priced, Under-Controlled
Not worth the price, not much control.
I should have returned them.

disappointed
I was so excited when I saw them on TV BUT when I received them I was disappointed. I convinced myself to keep them - that was a mistake! Them have no control and are not flattering at all.

flattering fit
I was on a waitlist for these pants for a long time. I was really skeptical after reading the revues and thought maybe I should cancel, but I didn't get around to it. I received the pants and after trying them on, I thought they were very flattering. No, they do not have what I would call control. Women with control pants are better with control. I suppose they will fit better on some and not so good on some. I am 5'4" and ordered a size small. I only had to hem them about an inch, no big deal. I did not expect to wear them as a dress pant only as a comfy daytime pant. Yes, they are way over priced for what you get and I have bought pants for hundreds of dollars. Sorry, but in comparison I would purchase a pair of Isaacmizrahi pants or women with control if a person wants control. I have never found spanx to be anything spectacular. So,it is all in what a person wants. Yes, I kept the pants and yes I do like them. Not sure this will help anyone.

Disappointing!
I have to agree with the other reviewers - the 'tummy control' panel is located at the waist and is only about 2 inches wide, so it only helps the waist band roll; there's not enough of it to control anything. The waistband barely gives enough to fit over my hips, and there is so little spandex in the fabric I looked as though I was wearing very cheap stretch pants - they are extremely unflattering. I wouldn't even keep these to wear around the house. I have spent much less on QVC for much better-fitting pants.

ummm, no
I too had high hopes, but to get a good look i would have to be about 6.4" tall!!! the pants are soooooo long and I am 5'11"! Either i need to grow or wear them up to my chest area. no really great stomach panel either--back they go...

For that price, nothing special..
Was expecting a really nice pair of pants for that price (I had an easy-pay I applied). When they arrived, they were ok, not nearly long enough, but I expected that with a 31.5 inch inseam. But I have purchased really great pants from QVC over the years, so back they go!!!

Not what I was expecting
I purchased bod-a-bing pants from spanx in the past and LOVED them. These are not even close to those pants. I ordered my normal QVC size and they didn't slim or smooth anything like in the photo. The inside of the pants have a slimming panel at the waist (not over the stomach area). The panel is maybe 4 inches down from the waist band. This made the waist bunch up and provided no smoothing at my stomach area. I was excited to be able to replace my bod-a-bing pants, but these are going back asap. I ordered a size Large

Poor fit & Style
I was really anxious to receive these as they looked fabulous on TV. Unfortunately they failed when it came to the style and fit. The material is nice and the idea was great but the fit is extremely unflattering. I wear a small or medium so I got these in the medium. They fit but I looked 10 pounds heavier due to the style.
Perhaps they work for others but not in my case so back they go. Hopefully they will go back to the drawing board and develop a style that looks flattering on all of us. What a disappointment!
