While I love how soft the fabric is, and the waistband tie that solves the terrible gap in the back, the size M are a bit of a challenge to get over my hips. I do typically wear a size 10 or 12. Also I'm 5'5" and not sure how tall the model is for these to hid mid knee - for me these hit me in the most unflattering place below my knees which made my calves look HUGE. They also have a bit lower rise than I'd like. I ordered the shorts instead in size L which say a 12" inseam (unrolled), which hopefully will have a bit higher rise, be easier to get over my hips, and back gap solved with the waist tie, and hit right at mid knee.
