"Even though in the description it says these are for a curvy figure, they really are not. They are snug through the waist and thighs and knees and run small with a very low riding style. The Katie model is the one you want if you are curvy, they run true to size and are not low rise."

"very well made but completely off the mark with sizing . I ordered a size up and could barely get them up past my reasonably normal sized hips."

"The fabric is just slightly too shiny, but these breeches work well for every day wear. They have enough stretch that they're very comfortable. I bought them on sale for just under $100 so they were a fabulous value at that price."

"I was unsure whether to purchase the Karen ("fuller fit") or the Katie ("slim fit") when I saw the current great price at Smartpak. My main concern was that when I sat in the saddle, the crotch of the breech should be right where it's supposed to be and it is! I am usually size a 4-6 and ordered size 38. They both have gorgeous fabric, design details and fit well. The main difference is that the Karen has a thicker lower waist band (more modern) and the Katie a much higher waist band (more traditional). The slim fit Katie waist was too big for me however so I went with the Karen instead. The Karen is advertised as suitable for the fuller figure but both Katie and Karen fit exactly the same in legs/thighs/butt. Only difference is the waist band. Great breech though. They wash really well. The fabric has great stretch and they are really comfortable to ride in as well as walk about. Highly recommend."

"I'm a fuller figured woman and it sucks when it comes to riding clothes. Its nearly impossible to find a high end breech that fits my curves. Kingsland stuff usually comes up small and I nearly did not try these but I am so glad I did. They are PERFECT for curvy girls who want a nice smart breech. They are spend-y yes but worth every dollar. Ive ALWAYS wanted breeches like this and never thought I would have them that fit my big calves and fat thighs - so THANK YOU Kingsland and THANK YOU Smartpak... I got these in the grey and the brown. Both are beautiful and so flattering. Everything is just PERFECT - the material, the fit the length, the rise... I would not change a thing... well I could live without the diamante on the pocket but at least its subtle. I imagine these will last many years."
