I purchased these in a larger size, because the ones I had were getting a bit snug.  So I went up one size.  These were SUPER low cut (as in JLow pants low cut), and very snug in the crotch and thighs. I could button them.  But, with a size up, they fit just as snuggly as the pants I was trying to relace.  Didn't like the fabric feel.  Immediate return.
