I've worn Haute Hippie for years and among the reasons I've stayed loyal to the brand is the quality fabrics. These are silk; featherlight and so soft against the skin. However, I'm returning because they not only are incredibly short -- to the point of indecency -- but also far too snug. They're supposed to have a slight bubbling out around the leg, but these felt more like bloodpressure cuffs, unpleasantly squeezing into my thighs. I was so disappointed because I love the pattern of the material; they make for a great summer staple. I ordered an 8 -- my usual size in HH is a 6 -- thinking that they would hang loosely around the waist and thus giving me the opportunity to tuck in a blouse and also gain me a couple of inches in length. I had to struggle to get the waist fastened. I'm seriously considering ordering the 10, but I'm unsure as to whether even those would fit. The sizing just seems incredibly off (a problem I've never had with any HH garment). Even so, they're gorgeous.
