When I got these leggings, I thought that they looked a little small and worried that I ordered the wrong size (large instead of XL) but when I put them on they fit like a GLOVE. I am 5'5 165lbs, waist 36in hips 40in. I've had them for a few weeks now and I can confidently say that these leggings may be the most comfortable I have ever worn. Smooth and supportive, feels like a second skin - I never want to take them off. I hesitate to buy leggings for over 50$, but I'll be buying more pairs ...
