right between sizes. I purchased these one size larger than I normally wear. I also purchased these two sizes larger than I normally wear. The bodies on both sizes fit great. The elastic on both sizes grip me like a hungry Python but I'm sure will stretch just a bit. The smaller size is better for me when I'm standing up and moving around. The larger size is better for me when I'm sitting down. One other advantage is when I gain or lose a few pounds I'll always have a size that fits me just right. I like them. If you can't trust the (Fruit Of The Loom Guys) who can you trust?
