Beautiful fabric and color. I am a size 6US and will need a small as these trousers fall down to my hip. Do I return for a small knowing they will more than likely be too short? I won't lie.. I am seriously bummed out. (a frustration building up for decades when shopping for trousers. ) As a Soft Dramatic in truest sense of the definition by Kibbe, finding trousers is beyond difficult. I can find the color but the cut is off. I find the right cut and the color is not right. I find both cut and color but the brand is not sustainable or ethical in their manufacturing. KW is amazing with color and love the brand ethos. But, I feel left out by Kettlewell as everything is so short. I know that in the styling biz people are today tiptoeing around body types and redefining body types for a "modern" take on Kibbe. This is not 'kind'.. it makes shopping difficult. The exact opposite of what one is trying to achieve when spending the money for style analysis. Why have a trouser that should be perfect for a soft dramatic be so dang short? I miss the body type filter in the sections and for some reason it is gone now. Not every style is meant to be for everyone. So, if something is cut for a soft dramatic, give us the length too! The power behind the style consult is you walk away loving your shape. That everyone looks amazing in the cut of clothing and color which is right for them. Most clothing makers will make their trousers with extra length because it is assumed the tailor will adjust the length for the customer. I am not asking for every trouser to be that way. For example, a style perfect for a gamine I would never expect to have extra length as it is meant for them. I would love more than anything for KW to be my one stop shop for all my clothing. Anyway, when it comes to trousers and skirts, please do not forget about us Soft Dramatic and Dramatic body types. We do exist! :)- Melissa (01/05/2024)
Reply from Kettlewell - Thank you for your feedback. It has been passed to the design team. In future we are planning to add extra fabric in the hem to enable tall people to lengthen trousers.

I purchased these trousers to go with the Iona Linen Jacket. I am 5'3" and normally a size 14. I often have a problem buying trousers but these fitted like a dream - no gaps at the waist nor tightness around the hips. They look great with heels but I may need to get them shortened slightly if I want to wear with flats, which is understandable given my height.- Debbie (28/04/2024)

Further to my previous review the size S trousers have now arrived and are a good fit so I would definitely recommend sizing down. Very happy with the style.- Barbara (22/03/2024)

I always have size M in Kettlewell trousers and skirts but these trousers are very big. The colour and fabric are both lovely but I can't comment on the styling yet because of the size issue. I have reordered in a smaller size.- Barbara (18/03/2024)

Style looked good from the front on me - not so great on the side and rear view, but that is largely due to my shape. I do think it will crease quite a bit, although not as much as most linen. Length was too long for me at 5’5 1/2”, so I would have to shorten. Colour was stunning. The linen seemed lovely and soft, though I do think it would crease, of course, like all linen. Very tempted to keep because of the colour - that is a Wow. But too many downsides for the price .- Anne (17/03/2024)
