I bought this in India. It's very exotic and I absolutely love it. It looks great with white or ivory tops, and even black. The red of the pants really stands out! However... I'm not quite sure how to wear it properly, so I haven't had many chances to wear it... but I can't bear to part with it, and I've been keeping it stored away. The waist measures 57-58cm when laid flat, so it's actually twice that size. It has two strings, so I would adjust it to my waist, fold over the excess fabric, and tie the strings. The width of the pants is also quite wide on one side. And the front and back... well, it's up to you. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. I bought it in India, so there may be some minor imperfections. If you like unique clothing, if you like Indian cotton, if you can style it to your own liking, please enjoy it this summer! It's a cool pair of pants :)
