I really like these pants.  The only draw back is that I feel like I need to wash them every time I wear them.  They stretch out while wearing them.  Im not sure if a smaller size would work given they fit well when I first put them on.  I ordered a 9/10 because the reviews said to size up.  Which I don't know that I agree with.  I am 5'5'' and 145lbs, I usually wear a size 6 from AE.  But, aside from needing to wash them every time I wear them - I really like these.
