I bought these as a gift, then decided to get something else for that person.  Thankful I did.  I am a tall and slender woman and I somewhat expected these to be a bit short, but they are ridiculous.  The waist band (I bought a size small) was what I would expect for a size medium or even a large and is very loose around the waist and hips.  The legs, however, are very tight and short--as in, I can barely get my foot through the opening and once the waistline is in place, the "ankle" cuffs are halfway up my calves and I may develop circulation issues if I wear them too long.  The material is harsh and doesn't stretch well, so the tight area around my calves is itchy and the loose area around my waist is stiff and bulky.  I have only washed and dried them twice, so there is a possibility that they would soften in time, but that won't change the horrible fit.  I'm glad I didn't give them as a gift or spend more money on them, but I wish I had returned them immediately.
