I’m a 2X, and I ordered the 2X. I almond canceled my shipment after paying on layaway, due to reviews saying they run large. I’m SO glad I didn’t! They are true to size, an elevated style compared to the drawstring with elastic at the ankles, which feel like they’re for the gym or street wear only. The drawstring pants DO run large in this brand, but not these, IMO. I can wear these with a flowy tunic for school or casual day at work, even. I wouldn’t want to wear them without a long shirt, without shapewear, but I wear mostly long tunic tops, which flatter my pear shape. If they pill, I will shave them off. They are a perfect fit. I would not want them any smaller. Just a heads up…I’m 5’7 1/2”, and they aren’t highwaters, so I don’t think they’re Petite. I wanted the purple to go with my beloved JMS purple Comfort Soft hoodie, but this was the only one on layaway and it goes well with it, and my white and dark green ones, too! Despite some sizing issues just recently, I love JMS! There is always a size that fits me beautifully, even when it takes some trial and error. They make comfort clothes fit to flatter Plus Size figures, and they know what they are doing. Most sweats are unflattering on me but JMS is my go-to for that and pretty, casual tops. The only thing is these are dark enough to show cat hair and lint, and not quite heathered enough to conceal it. Because I have a white cat, I should get the light and bright shades too, for easier care, as fur never shows up on them. Oh, well…it’s nothing good lint tape can’t fix! My Navy Comfort Soft hoodie didn’t show pet hair, because it’s very heathered but I passed it on after 7 years because I “outgrew” it, looking good as new. So glad I tried this style. I will buy more!
