Didn't think they'd fit, didn't think I'd feel comfortable in them, but I get chilly in the house and wanted something more dressed than pajamas. Well, they did fit and are extremely comfortable and they work quite well at taking the chill out of chillin'! They are sturdier than I expected  and have not lost elasticity after frequent washings. I would never actually wear them outside the house, not because they aren't as cute as they can be, but at size 18 and almost 70 it's just not appropriate. But, in my own house they are perfect for lounging. Bought 3 pair and love the playful, colorful  designs.
