No experience with them. I don't buy clothes on line. "True to size" is a hack. I'm a different size everywhere, and all the size charts are the same. Meanwhile, a friend of mine told me she used to be a solid size 12, in pretty much all brands. I quite like the flirty skirt on the main page, though.
A waist range of 42.5-50 inches could suggest a gratuitous use of elastic. However, in general, the larger the size the greater the range within the size. That means that the size WL, if it is not elastic, has a FIXED waist of 50 inches and therefore is big enough to fit anyone with a waist of 50 inches or below. It stops at 42.5 on the chart because the WM max waist is 42.5 . This is why, starting from higher weights, it can take 30-40 pounds to drop a single size.
The larger the size, the bigger the range. That way less sizes can cover a larger territory (increasing waist size) without making a new size every two inches like standard sizes. While there is a bottom limit to how small a waist can get, there isn't really an upper limit, and companies just can't/don't want to pay for such a wide range of sizes, as manufacturing costs would skyrocket.
