for. Looking for  desperately ever since Nordstrom discontinued carrying Gilda Marx leggings - I've been on the hunt for something just as good.

update: 11/25/2012:  Amazon won't let me leave additional reviews for the additional two pair that I bought. I would buy 10 more if I could afford it - these are the BEST leggings!

These are just like Gilda Marx leggings!  The PERFECT legging in my opinion.
No cotton - means no bagging, no pilling, no fading!  I hate leggings that lose their shape and get crappy looking.

Streamlined and functional. Slim waist band, no cotton, super simple and perfect under long blouses, sweaters etc.  Also, because there is no cotton, whatever I wear with these doesn't stick to them or get hung or bunched up. These are not shiny (icky ole' 70's and 80's) but they are smoooooooth and perfect for wearing with other things.

No see through!

I ordered XL (14/16)  They fit marvelously and did I mention that they fit right at my waist! Length-wise, I could even be taller and they'd fit down at my ankles, too.  As it is, I can finesse them so that they aren't bundled down there, just plain perfect up and down me leg.

About my body type and fit:
I'm 5' 6.5"
204 lbs  (yeah, fat. Oh, well.)
Long-waisted: this presents a problem because I like things to fit AT or ON my waist. I intensely dislike the low-rise in anything. (exception: I do NOT wear granny panties, lol)

I like a snug fit. Snug without constricting, no sausage feel or look. I'm all about the comfort.  These fit at my waist so there's no muffin top. Not that I would wear anything that produced that. ** I swear I don't know how people go out in public like that. I mean, even though their mirror is lying to them, can't they FEEL the freaking overflow at their belt-line wherever it hits and isn't it uncomfortable?! **

I'm buying several more pair of these in case they decide to stop producing them.

THEY'RE FREAKIN' PERFECT FOR ME!!!!!

Thank you.
