I don't know what happened but I ordered the XL size in these even though I normally wear a small medium because I was hoping they would be nice and roomy for running around the house or doing exercises....but these pants are made for a MUCH smaller person than me!  I am five foot seven and when i put these on they come up above my feet.  They don't come close to hitting the groung at all.  It looks like I borrowed pants from a much shorter fatter friend LOL!!  be careful with these they don't qulify for free returns but since i don't have any fatter or shorter friends i am returning them anyway!
