I wanted to love these pants as they sounded great for under low rise jeans, but to my surprise, I was disappointed. They looked beautiful straight out of the wrapping, so a quick try on for hip fit and I popped them in the delicate wash. However, once out of the washing machine, inspection revealed them to be not quite perfect with the cotton gusset sewn off centre, a tiny hole next to seam at the back, and a lack of symmetry either side of the seam meant the pants didn't hang quite right. I prefer no elastic like Aimee, but it wasn't a deal breaker. If I had examined the pants more closely upon opening and not prewashed them, I would have returned them. Maybe I had an odd pair. I have to say that out of the very many pants in my WMYP collection, including the seconds, this is the first pair I am disappointed with. I can heartily recommend Cecilia, Aimee and Rosalind.

Everything about these pants is wonderful, wearing them makes my day so much better.

I was so excited about the launch of Hannah that I stayed up till after midnight to make sure I got some ... a few glitches meant that I didn't quite get what I expected but this is being ably sorted by the lovely Catherine and I did manage to get a pair of these lovely pants ..... they are beautifully made (congratulations Hannah!), the lace is soft and gorgeous and I love the design - sort of Aimee, Rosalind, Cecilia and Henrietta all rolled into one .... but the bottom line, sorry :-( , and the reason for only 4 stars, is that I just can't get on with elastic .... I couldn't get on with Henrietta at all and although I definitely prefer these I think I'm going to have similar issues so they'll just be kept for very limited wear ... a real achievement for Hannah and wonderful pants that you should buy (when you can get them again) - unless you're strange like me
