These pants are super soft and super cute on. Im 59 with somewhat short legs, 145lbs. My waist is small around 27 and all my weight is in bum and thighs. The Medium is about 2 inches too big in the waist (note: Ive never worn a small in anything my whole adult life) but I think I would prefer the small. Unfortunately it is out of stock. The length of the medium is perfect with a low wedge heel. Looks super cute with tank or loose crop top. Ill probably keep the medium and have them taken in around the waist.
