I'm a slim but curvy girl, 5'4 hourglass figure and a lot of times leggings just don't look right. But, I needed something of a matte leather legging to go with an outfit. I wear a size 6 and got a small and they fit fine. You have to be careful putting them on due to the stitching, kinda like putting pantyhose on. They might pop a stitch if you're not careful, but if you aren't a stranger to a needle and thread and don't sweat the small stuff and nitpick something to death (although inconvenient) it'll be okay! They are long on me, but I know a little secret. It's called fold over and tuck! Simple and blends nicely. No one would ever know unless you pointed it out!
