These have lovely stretch. I am usually a large and got a large. I was extremely comfortable.They are fitted but not too tight and i love the "babe detail" on the side. The fishnet starts at just the right length to still leave something to the imagination but stay sexy at the same time. I styled these with a black short sleeved bodysuit, a black and white lightweight plaid shirt tied around my waist, a black hat, hoops and Adidas slides. I got a lot of compliments. If they feel a little long try pulling them up higher on your waist/belly. That's what I did and I was very happy with where they sat. I also really liked that the fishnet didn't feel flimsy or like it would be easily ripped.
