I have bought several pairs of these. They are great for hanging around the house. I wish I could wear them out but they do hand weirdly. They don't drape. The pockets (which I love) cause the hips to stick out strangely. If they were flat fronted with elastic only in the back they might be perfect. I am 51 and under 100 lbs and the waist fits. If they were a looser elastic or a draw string they might fit a broader range of women.
