This set is truly beautiful, warm, and comfortable. The pants have an elastic waistband and are made of thick wool fabric. If you don’t want your hips to appear larger, this might not be ideal. It looks great on slimmer figures—my tall, slender daughters look amazing in it—but for me, while the top fits perfectly, the pants make me look bigger. though maybe I’m just overly sensitive about looking proportional! Overall, it's a beautiful outfit.
