I love these pants I want like 5 pair. I looked over the reviews so I got a size larger than I normally wear. I usually wear a size 7 or 8, so I got a 9. They are a bit tight around the thighs right below the zipper area. I'm 5'5 130 so after just a few tugs they fit great and a belt is handy to keep them from moving. Also not drying them is a good idea as well if you do not want them to shrink. Other than that, I'm buying another pair. :)
