I wanted to write a review, that I hoping may be helpful for many. I read the other reviews and the sizing may be off on the chart. I first found these at a department store, the size I ordered from them didn't fit (L) and I'm typically an 8, 10 depending on brand. The department store was sold out of M. Important- There is no zipper, they pull on like yoga pants with not much give in the waist. The size I ordered may have been miss marked, or maybe I should stop eating desserts. Therefore, I ordered an XL direct from Commando and they are very BIG in the waist and 2-3 inches long. I'm considering trying another Large to determine correct sizing and save on alterations. Either way, whatever size I keep, they will be altered in the waist and/or length. My suggestion is order 2 sizes to be safe and return one. They are so comfortable, classy and fun and will be that special pant that comes out when you want to make a statement. They are incredible and will be perfect for an upcoming Vegas trip. As a reference, I'm 5'7", 138lb and typically an 8 pant depending on brand, size 30 waist in premium denim. Ladies- Worth the splurge!
