First let me say, the style of these is just as cute as a bug's ear. I ordered the beige which will go with so much. Although, I normally wear a small in pants, I went with a medium the second time due to a prior purchase of a small in a patterned fabric. Though basically the small fit well, the rise was a bit short for my body (but then, I have a rather long rise). Trying to compensate for rise this time, I made the mistake of choosing a medium. The waist is humongous on me. It doesn't come close to touching my skin. I washed them in hopes they'd shrink. Well, the waist sure didn't. I tried pulling them down to wear as low rise pants but got that awful hanging crotch look. Anyway, the fabric is a tad thin but has a nice feel and nothing I couldn't live with in that regard. I just wish these were made to fit me. Perhaps I can have them altered.
