These pants stretch to fit you. Im normally a size 12 in pants and these fit me in the regular size. Very comfortable waist and around the ankles. No problem walking in these or sitting at all. Issue I have is with the print. It seems a little strange once you ha enthem on to walk around wearing these characters all day. Maybe when the new Star was land opens up at Disneyland and I pair it with a sleeveless long black top, it won't look so strange, but right now, its a no. Print up close seems really distorted and weird, but from far away its clear. Like a Monet painting. The white is also totally see through. Even with white underwear it would be awkward. You would for sure have to wear a long rear end covering top for this to work.  These are going back for me not because of the product, but because I don't like how the image looks on me. Its a personal thing. Ive bought these pants in other prints and I love them.
