OK my waist is 32.5 in..im 5'9..This fit right out of the package BUT I cannot handle super tight waist bands...I want elastic waist bands to feel like PJ's no pressure. The elastic band width is over an inch so the big squeeze is there. Now I really liked the look, material and length so worth pulling out the ole sewing box and altering.  Done by hand . I ended up removing ( in the back) about 6-7 inches of the elastic-opened seam and cut threads holding elastic. Then sewing seam back up. Perfect now.
