Mittoshop Surplice V Waist Flare Pants

How to measure

Body measurements — to select the right size

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso or at the spot where the pant waistband will sit (for a surplice V waist this is usually at your natural waist). Keep the tape snug but not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks with feet together.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch point (where the seams meet) down the inside of the leg to where you want the hem to fall.
• Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband.
• Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the back waistband.
• Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the thigh or measure flat 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam across the pant and double the number.
• Hem / Leg opening: Measure across the bottom edge of one leg (flat) and double for the full circumference.

Garment measurements (measuring the pants flat)

• Lay the pants flat on a hard surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
• Waist (flat): Measure straight across the top of the waistband from edge to edge and multiply by two.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the pants at the widest point (typically 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waistband) and multiply by two.
• Inseam (flat): Measure from the crotch seam along the inside leg to the hem.
• Front & back rise (flat): Measure from the crotch seam to the top edge of the front/back waistband.
• Outseam / Total length: Measure from the top of the waistband down the outside seam to the hem.
• Allow a manufacturing tolerance (typically 1–2 cm). Compare these numbers to the retailer size chart or to a favourite pair for best fit.

Materials

Exact fabric composition can vary by colour and production run — always check the product page or garment tag for the precise blend. Typical materials used for surplice V‑waist flare pants include:

• Polyester + Elastane/Spandex (common): Durable, wrinkle‑resistant, with stretch for comfort and recovery. Typical blends often fall in the range of high polyester with a small percentage of elastane for stretch.
• Rayon/Viscose blends: Soft, fluid drape and a smooth hand; may be blended with nylon or spandex for durability and stretch.
• Cotton blends: Breathable and comfortable for casual styles; often combined with elastane to prevent sagging.
• Lining & trims: Some styles include a polyester lining or internal finishes at the waistband for structure.

Material expectations:

• Polyester/elastane: Easy care, holds shape, good drape.
• Rayon/viscose: Luxurious drape, may require gentler washing.
• Cotton blends: Breathable but can wrinkle and may need different care.

Model & fit

Product images usually include model details on the product page — use those numbers when available. Typical listing conventions you may see:

• Typical model height: Often 5'8"–5'10" (173–178 cm).
• Sample size shown: Frequently a Small (S) on model shots; check the listing caption for exact size worn.
• Fit characteristics: Surplice V‑waist styles generally sit at or slightly above the natural waist, define the waist, and are fitted through the hip then flare from the knee down. If you prefer a roomier thigh or more dramatic flare, consider sizing up or checking the garment measurements.

Always compare the model’s listed measurements with your own body or a favourite pair of pants to choose the best size.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read the label first: Follow the garment care instructions provided on the product tag above all else.
• Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn the pants inside out to protect the outer surface and any trims. Use mild detergent and wash with like colours.
• Delicates: Place lightweight or delicate blends in a mesh laundry bag.
• Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry to preserve drape and elasticity. Tumble dry low only if the care label allows; remove promptly to avoid deep wrinkles.
• Ironing & steaming: Use a low to medium heat setting suitable for the fabric; a steamer is ideal for removing wrinkles without direct heat.
• Stain care: Treat stains promptly and spot test any stain remover in an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid: Bleach and strong chemicals. Avoid high heat and frequent use of fabric softeners on elastic blends (they can reduce elasticity over time).
• Storage: Fold heavier flares to avoid stretching the waistband; for lighter fabrics, hanging by the waistband or using padded clips helps prevent creases and preserves shape. Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.

Style tips

• Show the waist: Tuck in a fitted top, wear a cropped jacket or a bodysuit to emphasize the surplice V waist. A slim belt can enhance the waistline when the design allows.
• Balance proportions: Because the pants are fitted through the hip and flare at the hem, pair them with a streamlined or slightly structured top to create a flattering silhouette.
• Shoes: Heels (block heels, pumps, or wedges) elongate the leg and work especially well with long flares. Ankle boots and platform sneakers can create casual or seasonal looks.
• Layering: Shorter jackets or fitted blazers complement a high/defined waist; long coats add drama and work well for a polished, elongated look.
• Occasion styling: Dress up with a silk blouse and heels for office or evening; switch to a tee and sandals for a weekend look.
• Tailoring: For perfect length and balance, have the hem tailored to the shoes you’ll most often wear with the pants.

Tip: Always check the product page for the exact fabric composition, model measurements and the garment measurement table before purchasing or tailoring.
