I am a big girl, and it's often hard to find crop pants that fit nicely/aren't too snug on my calves. Unfortunately, these are a bit snug in that area. But they're stretchy so it's not uncomfortable...they just don't hang there nicely like the do in the photo! That said, these are just at-home (i.e. not for-wear-in-public) pants for me, so it's not a big deal.
