"These are fun flares! I wanted them to drape nicely and ended up ordering three pairs, 24 (regular size) 25, and 26, all fit:) but i found the 24 and 25 did not give me that flowy look i was chasing. so 26 i s for me, size up two sizes in my experiences. Got the london fog and it is a delicious lavenderish gray.
I am short 5'4'' 100 lbs and end up shortening pants with a raw edge a lot, so here is how i do it, in case you need them shorter, unless you choose a tailor, but truly there is no need to in this case:
The trick is that find a length that works with the shoes you wear, ..because the worst is to wear these too short...mmmm, trust me on this on, plus you want them as long as possible because of the weight of the fabric will make them drape so much better. BUt know that once you wash and cut they cannot be returned, so be sure, very sure:)

..i wear quite the range; flats, sandals, converse, boots with 1-1.5'' heel, kork ease with 2 1/2 platform and that's about it. so before putting the scissors i would recommend to use the longest length and pre-wash and tumble: cut after you washed (at your normal wash temp for 100% cotton jeans) and tumbled them (you need to tumble afterwards to get the frayed edge back)
Once you treated them you are good to go...work on a flat surface thats a little elevated, an IKEA kitchen island is perfect.use a ruler and make little dots at the distance form the bottom of the fringe that you need to remove, i my case, it would be 3'' with these flares. at about 4-5'' distance between the dots, then -connect the dots right through the lower third of the dots, cut so you remove the marker-line (thats why you make the line right under the center of the dots. take a deep breath, cut as careful as you can, then wash and tumble as before and you can wear them! My trick to wear with flats, converse and sandals is to fold down the lining..that hitches your flares up about one inch. phew this was a long one, hope it helps:)"

Vintage Extreme Flare
2.6.2013-
"I am absolutely in love with these pants. First I ordered a 29 in the Autumn Nights, my usual FP pants size. They were too baggy in a not so flattering way so I exchanged them for a 28 in the Easy Rider wash and they fit like a dream! There is plenty of room in the waist. This was the color I originally wanted. I usually wear a 29 or size 6 and I'm 5'8, 135 lbs. Hope this helps! I don't dry my FP pants so a 29 may be for you if you do. If you are debating on these go for it, you won't be disappointed!"

Amazing!

"I am about 5'5" and 108 lb. I got the autumn nights color in a size 25. They look great and fit comfortably. I marked them as a little bit loose because I can pull them on and off without undoing the snap, but they don't look big or anything. Very nice and lightweight, which is good considering how heavy they'd be in the legs otherwise with all of that material!"

Been wanting these pants forever!
10.10.2012-
"Finally was able to purchase these wide leg jeans and for the most part, I'm very pleased. The fit is great and makes my butt look really cute! The dark wash is awesome with a vintage tint to it, great for Fall, but the material is very lightweight so these can definitely carry into the warmer seasons too. I'm 5'5 so the 35 inch inseam is a bit much, with 3 inch shooties, they just graze the floor. I might have to cut them if it bothers me too much. I was worried that because of the width of the pant and my height that they would make me look short and frumpy, but they don't. All it takes is the right top to balance them off.
On the con side, they came really wrinkled so I imagine that they are prone to wrinkling. I hate ironing! Maybe I'll steam them.
Overall, glad I got them!"

"I bought these jeans over a year ago and I still love wearing them. They're comfy and cool. I think they do run a little small. I'm almost always a 26 but I got a 27. They were definitely worth the money."

Size Matters!
9.11.2012-
"I pondered ordering these for months. I only hesitated as I was unsure about the sizing. After reading reviews the consensus seemed to be that they fit small. I am normally a size 25 in jeans, almost consistently in every brand, so I decided to size up and order the 26. They do fit... except they fit perfect, not baggy like they are on the model. I wanted them to fit like they do in the picture, kind of "boyfriendy," but they don't. I still like them and have kept them, I just had to change my vision about how they looked. So if you want the baggy look, I would say size up a lot, I sized up one size and it did not achieve the slouchy effect at all. If you want them to just fit normal, snug through the hips, then order your normal size. (For reference I am 5.6" and 120 lbs. My hips, the widest part, around the top of my things, is 37 inches.) Oh, and as to the length, I did not find them too long at all. I wear them with four inch wedges and they sit perfectly, just grazing the floor."

MOST COMFY JEANS YOU WILL EVER OWN!
9.6.2012-
"I am a hippie chick, so I adore these, as I do all the bell bottoms, these are the only non-vintage jeans like this I have ever seen, and they are one of my most comfortable pairs I own!! The denim is not heavy, it is a lighter weight and they drape amazingly well on the body, plus the waist is lower than the festy. They re not too long either, just perfect for a nice platforms, but if you are planning on wearing a flat shoe, they could drag a lot if you are petite."

Love, but it would look better with a belt
9.2.2012-
"Love these pants. they are super flare and cute. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that they can become "puffy" where the front zipper is at. Since it does not hold straight to the waist and the fabric is soft, it gives a little bit of a weird impression, as if you had a small belly."

Not DENIM but still Love them!
8.27.2012-
"I got the 'blizzard' one. The color is creamy white and has a few bleached/blue stains around the waist and legs. Im usually 28 with other denim brands and 26/27 with pants I took reviews into consideration and got 29 of these ones and it was a perfect call! SO these ones r lil' bit tight, the fabric is VERY light and no shaping up around bottom area. So u might wanna go w/ a seamless nude underwear. I'm 5.6 and these needs alteration. Good choice for summer and warm autumn days. You can always wear them for casual occasions. enjoy."

Looks even better in person!
6.3.2012-
"I was so worried about sizing as this is my first purchase. Size 25 fit me perfectly although I probably can squeeze into a 24. I'm not sure how this will hold up after wash.
I'm 1.73 m tall and I need to put on 5 inch heels so the hem of the pants would not be sweeping the floor.
The raw frayed edges are some sort of a design so I'm not sure if you will lose that detail if you decide to alter it shorter.
I usually wear EUR34 for long bottoms if I want a snug fit."

I'm on my 3rd pair - white this time
5.14.2012-
"I was so excited when these came out in white. I already own the dark and light blue versions of this. I have to say that the white is way better in person. It actually is not white but more of a cream color and mine has accents of blue around the hem, fly and waist band. That doesn't seem to be the case in the picture. As usual they fit great however they are a little shorter this time around. I'm 5'9". So if you are any taller then that they might look funny in length on you. They seem to fit just perfect for me though. I do have to agree with one of the other reviewers that they do shrink. I accidentally dried my light blue pair and found this out. However when I let my dark pair air dry they retained their perfect fit. Also in this picture it looks like they starched and ironed what the model is wearing. The fabric is a lighter weight material that is really soft. Perfect for summer."

mine shrunk twice!
5.11.2012-
"I absolutely love these when i saw them in the catalog and finally got one during the fall. I had to get them hemmed because I'm 5'1". I got the size 24 (I wear a 0, 00) and the waist fitted me perfectly. After I washed them and dried them, it shrunk so badly that I couldn't zip them up. I was sad, but was determined to order another pair. This time I got the size 25. I washed it in cold water and line dried it. It shrunk both in the waist and in length, but I could still zip it up and because I didn't remove all the extra fabric completely from the hem, I could lengthen it still. Thank goodness that the casher was kind enough to allow me to return the first pair, otherwise, I would've been pretty disappointed with Free People. I am going to get another one, this time, I think I'm going for size 26, so I can wear it a bit looser on the waist."

"I was waiting to get these until I lost all the baby weight and when I finally lost enough to get the 31 they were sold out!!! When they came back with the darker color I jumped right on them and so glad I was forced to wait. I love the darker color more than the original ones. I think I may order another pair!"

"These get looks and comments even by men. They've commented how they appreciate the 60's and 70's era clothing, in particular, how the wide leg jean is coming back. I really like these pants n wear them a lot. I sized down and still is a little baggy in the rear. Also, not good to run in. You will trip. The bell shaped pant legs got caught often and I stepped on them too. Other than that their fun and great."
