Absolutely in love with these pants!! The material feels comfortable, and pretty darn sturdy!! Looking forward to many years of dancing in them. For reference, I am 5'5" and currently weigh 146.8 Lbs (I got curves, with a bit more to love). I got a size 30/11, which fits nicely and I'm sure it will look even better, once I get my defined abs. For my body type, the next size up would've been too loose, and the next size down would've been too tight. Hope this helps! In addition, my shipment arrived at my house 5 days after purchase. Vampire Freaks is the best!
