I previously bought the Dressy Sweatpants original edition on sale and bought a size Medium (not sure what I was thinking). They were too big and had the drop-crotch situation going on too. So while they were comfy, they never felt as chic and wearable-everywhere as most people talked them up to be. So this time around I bought the re-designed version in XS (Sized down from recommended Small on the size chart - normally a 4/6 in general) and I *finally* feel like I understand why everyone loves these pants!!!!
The only thing I struggle with is that the ruching at the ankle is too loose. I never thought of myself as having especially thin calves or ankles, but maybe I do?? I keep wanting the bottoms to fit like a legging, snug so the ruching can be appreciated as a style detail rather than slight bagging, with the top having that somewhat fitted, yet pleated finish that elevates it above the average legging. Maybe if there was an XXS the fit at the calf/ankle would be perfect for me or if they were slightly more tapered as they go down? Curious if anyone else has this experience! I can't really give half stars, but I would give 4.5 as is with the redesign and if I could get a size or fit a little slimmer at the lower leg it would make it a true 5! Really really really like the re-design though!
