Ordered these for my 7 year old who typically wears a size 6X/7. The fit great at the waist, but bunch a bit at the ankle. She's of normal height for her age, but is thin. The quality is wonderful. These are a nice, heavy weight that don't run or catch easily. With the regular "panty hose" for her age group, we get one wear and they're in the trash. She has worn these repeatedly and they still look new. While not manufacturer recommended, I also wash these in the machine and they have done beautifully being washed that way. (Cold, delicate, hang dry) The shimmer is not excessive, but just enough that my little one gets that, "Princess" feel that her age group wants to have. I will be ordering more of these!
