Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am 5'5" and weigh about 135 pounds but I like my pants to fit loose around the waist and to be fairly loose but not baggy. I usually wear a size large because I don't like the elastic in the waist to feel tight. I ordered a size large in these pants and they were way too loose, even with the drawstring tied. Several people had mentioned shrinking so I decided not to send them back but to wash them in warm water and see if they would shrink. They did shrink somewhat but they are still a little to large -- the legs are cut very large and would fit nicely on someone with broader hips and larger rear end. But I'm keeping them for sleeping pants because I like my pj pants to be real loose so they don't 'bind'. I have ordered a medium and hope it will fit me just right. I'd like to be able to wear them as casual pants around the house and not just for sleeping. I'll amend this review to let you know about the medium. But these definitely run large. I suggest you order one size smaller than your usual size.
