I was a bit startled to have to buy an XXL because I’ve consistently worn an XL (sigh) for a few years now, but after reading the reviews and looking at the size chart, I decided to size up, and I’m glad I did. They fit well on my hips, bottom and legs. The band isn’t too tight, nor does it roll down as some others have reviewed (although I have a smaller waist to hip ratio). The fabric is fairly heavy and doesn’t show all the lumps and bumps that I have been blessed with after three kids! I decided not to take a star off because I think it is due to my curvy body, but the bottom of the pants are quite loose around my ankles. Overall, though, I’d definitely buy another pair; maybe I’ll get the blue ones next. I’d love to see them made in dark gray. 🙂
