Umgee Full Size Elastic Waist Striped Wide Leg Velvet Pants | Burgundy / M 100100099702727

How to measure (for listing and for customers)

Use two measurement approaches: garment measurements (lay the pants flat) for accurate listing data, and body measurements to help customers choose the right size.

Garment measurements — lay flat

• Waist (laid flat, unstretched): measure across the top edge of the waistband, then multiply by 2 for circumference.
• Waist (stretched): gently stretch the elastic to its comfortable maximum and measure across; multiply by 2. List both unstretched and stretched values for elastic waist items.
• Hips: measure across the fullest part of the pant (usually ~8–9" below waistband), then multiply by 2.
• Front rise: from top of waistband down to the crotch seam along the front.
• Back rise: from top of waistband down to the crotch seam along the back (useful for fit notes).
• Inseam: from crotch seam to the hem along the inside leg.
• Outseam / Total length: from top of waistband to hem along the outside leg.
• Thigh: measure 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam across thigh and multiply by 2.
• Leg opening (hem): measure across the hem and multiply by 2.
• Waistband height: measure the vertical height of the waistband/elastic.

Body measurements — what customers should know

• Natural waist: measure at the narrowest point of the torso.
• Hips: measure at the fullest point around the seat.
• Inseam (desired length): measure from crotch to desired hem while wearing the shoes you plan to wear with the pants.
• Height: include model height on the product page to help customers estimate length.

Tip: Provide measurements in both inches and centimeters and note whether the waistband measurement is relaxed or stretched.

Materials & construction

Striped velvet wide-leg pants are typically made from a soft pile fabric with some recovery for comfort. Exact fiber content may vary by batch or color—always confirm on the sewn-in care tag for this specific item. Typical characteristics:

• Velvet face (pile): commonly polyester or a polyester blend; many styles include a small percentage of spandex/elastane (e.g., 3–5%) for stretch and recovery.
• Backing / body: knit or woven polyester/rayon blend that gives structure behind the pile.
• Stripe effect: created by alternating pile direction (sheen contrast) or by different pile heights/textures in the weave.
• Waistband: elastic encased in fabric (sometimes with a drawstring); measure relaxed and stretched.

Note: If you need an exact fiber list for labeling, check the product tag or vendor spec sheet. Common compositions for similar styles are e.g. 95–96% polyester + 4–5% spandex/Elastane, or polyester-rayon blends.

Model information

Model data was not provided for this listing. Below is a recommended example block you can replace with the actual model details:

• Example — Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Example — Wearing size: Small (S)
• Example — Model measurements: Bust 34", Waist 25", Hips 35"
• Fit note (example): Model wears her usual size; pants sit at the natural waist and have a relaxed, wide-leg silhouette. The elastic waistband accommodates a range of waist sizes.

Include the real model height and size worn on the product page to help customers judge length and fit (e.g., "Model is 5'9" and wearing size M").

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

Velvet and pile fabrics benefit from gentle handling. Follow the label first, then these best practices:

• Read the care label: follow any specific instructions printed on the garment tag.
• Wash gently: hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle inside-out or inside a mesh bag. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
• Dry carefully: reshape and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid high-heat tumble drying; if you must use a dryer, select no-heat or air-dry and remove promptly.
• Steaming/ironing: use a steamer to remove wrinkles from the reverse side; if ironing is needed, place a pressing cloth between iron and fabric and use low heat.
• Spot clean: blot stains immediately with a clean cloth — do not rub. Test stain removers in an inconspicuous area first.
• Restore pile: steam lightly and brush with a soft clothes brush in the direction of the pile to revive crushed areas.
• Storage: hang on a wide hanger to avoid creases and allow airflow (use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage).
• Professional care: for best preservation of sheen and color, consider professional dry cleaning, especially for deep stains or heavy soiling.

Style tips

Outfit ideas and styling notes for striped wide-leg velvet pants:

• Balance the silhouette: pair the wide leg with a fitted top or a tucked-in blouse to define your waist.
• Try a bodysuit: a slim bodysuit creates a smooth tucked look that complements the volume of the legs.
• Shoes: heels or wedges elongate the leg; ankle boots and platform sneakers work well for casual looks. For polished outfits, pointed-toe mules or pumps are ideal.
• Layering: cropped jackets, blazers, or longline coats all pair nicely—choose shorter tops or tuck-ins to keep proportion balanced.
• Color coordination: pick one stripe color and match or complement it in your top or accessories; neutral matte fabrics (knits, cotton) contrast the velvet sheen nicely.
• Accessories: a slim belt can add definition even with an elastic waist; keep jewelry simple so the fabric remains the focal point.
• Dress up or down: swap sneakers for heels and add a silk blouse for an evening outfit, or keep it casual with a tee and denim jacket for daytime.
• Fit adjustments: for petites, consider hemming or wearing heels; for a more fitted waist look, try tucking or adding a belt over the elastic.
