I bought one size larger than usual on a hunch and was glad I did. Still tight enough that they can only be worn with long tunics. Very soft and nice color. I prefer a tight fit to the baggy seats in some other leggings I have. It says to lay flat to dry. No time for that, so I washed in cold, delicate, but threw in dryer on high and it came out fine, no shrinkage at all from when I tried them on before washing. Very hard to find cotton leggings, so would definitely buy these again.
