I ordered these for a Dolly Parton costume for my friends 50th bday party in Vegas. I read and read the reviews and decided to take a chance. Boy were these a great purchase! They are super soft and stretchy. They are actually made in the USA (that's what the tag says atleast). I ordered a 9 based off all the suggestions. I'm usually a 6 in most brands. I could've gotten away with the 7 because of the amount of stretch they have. They are high waisted so no muffin top ladies. They are very long. I have to wear a wedged shoe to keep them off the ground. I'm 5'7, 145lbs and athletic build for reference. The 9s are cozie and will work great. Did I mention how great these make the rush look! Buy them and you won't regret it.
