The fit as far as small, medium large was as expected ( I am 5'5", 145 and got the medium).  What was a little odd was the crotch seam seemed to be situated far back.  It made the overall fit awkward.  However, I liked the pattern and the style so much, I decided to see if I could have someone alter it.  The seamstress I went to did an awesome job.  I would give this a 5 if they would change the pattern somewhat so the crotch is in the right place.
