These are great. Soft on the skin. Can wear alone or as base layer. They’re not warm worn without another layer. I found them to be true to size. I’m normally an xsmall and ordered a small which leaves them big enough to wear as a high waisted pant which I like. Only thing I’d change would be the seam up the crotch but most stretch pants have that.
These are great . Bought the plaid and the material is super cute. However, I must say that the size chart is all wrong. I usually wear a size 6 and I had to go with the L in these. I could have used the medium, but I like to waist to be a little loose. (hoping this won't be a problem for me.) I am on the tall side (5'10") and the length is good for me. I can't imagine how anyone over size 10 could wear this brand, though. The cut is very small through the seat. For comparision, I wear a small or xsmall in 'cuddleduds'.
Followed others' advice and ordered a L instead of my usual M. Super soft and cute, DEFINITELY needed the Large, but really low riding. Fine for my jeans, but not for my active wear. I think the low waist will bother me when I'm skiing. And weirdly, they are really long in the legs--and I am 5'10"! These will have to go back. Sad, because the fabric and print are really nice. Just not something that fit me at all.
Why would there be a low rise on base layer pants? You can't be out here freezing off your c-section scar. Normally I would just size up to get a higher rise, but their largest size is XL. Whaaaa? That's not very size inclusive. Too bad. The prints are cute and the fabric is nice for a lightweight base layer. Maybe they are trying to be a more of a tween line? I don't know, but it's not for women.
So I followed the advice in the other reviews and went 2 sizes up. I normally wear a medium and went with a size XL. Well that was a mistake. I should have gone with the L because these are a little baggy around the waist. The thighs do fit so this might just be my body type. They do run small, but I think they only run one size small. I can’t exchange them anymore because size L is sold out. Super disappointing. The fabric is cute and soft, and I do really like them.
I was nervous ordering an XL size (I'm 5'-5",120#, usually a medium). But the other reviewers were right that the sizes run way small. The XL fits me just right, with legs long enough and elastic that sits flat and relaxed on my waist. Nice fabric, cute print, well made.
They are not high waisted, but not super low either. The material is really soft and durable and thin enough to be worn under layers of clothes. Really fun pattern!
These are super soft and comfortable. They are thin enough to layer under ski clothes and so adorable! I found them true to size. They are not high waist on me but not low either and I tend to carry more weight in my butt. I love them so much I have purchase several colors for skiing and hiking this winter.
I love these! The feel of the fabric and fit are great! The fabric is soft. The fit runs small so order up a size than you normally are.
Beautiful material. Nice feel. I might even want to wear these for tv watching. I bought the set in brown. Nice color.
