I think I spent 2-3weeks trying to decide whether or not I was going to purchase these. I read all the reviews on this site and others and read all the sizing details but just didn't know whether to trust the write ups. Eventually I made the purchase and am so happy. They're comfortable! I have a waist that is a full size smaller than my thighs so I always struggle to get the right fit. The write up on sizing is very accurate. I'm usually a 10-12 in the thighs but more of an 8 in the waist. I went for an 8 based on how stretchy they were described and it was bang on. Fit perfectly. The pockets on the leg do pull a little when I sit, as the stitching across the leg obviously can't stretch. It doesn't detract from the comfortability, I'm just not sure if it'll Eventually pull a hole in the pant. So far, so good. I also bought the blue and, again, trusted the write up on the fit and went with a size 9 and they are perfect. Definitely a different fit due to the different fabric. Love, love, love these!
