I love dickies. I use them for work 5 days of the week. I'm a woman with a waist size of 48 & L32. Due to washing my uniform every week and the pants strinking every other week little by little I went ahead and ordered a W50 & L32 to save time and money. Surprisingly, W50 fits me like a pair of brand new W48 would. So now, I'll try a W52 next order.
