I LOVE these pants.  I am 5' 8", 180 because I'm going through a bit of a chunky stage.  I ordered an XL.  I held them up and thought they looked tiny.  But when I put them on, I was shocked at how flattering they are.  Yes, they are fitted, stretchy, yoga-type cropped pants, but they are very flattering.  Even with my gian butt and legs, they looked great and my husband was, well, impressed.
