I wear a size 18 and right off the rack, pants fit - sometimes even a little baggy.  I couldn't even close the front of these. Not sure if the particular pair was sized wrong or if it's the cut.  But, since they were supposedly "relaxed fit" they should've fit fine.  The legs were good - good length and fit - I just couldn't even get the two halves of the front even close enough to zip! There was a good 2" gap!
