Super-SOFT, but READ this before consulting Size Chart
Wow -these are SO INCREDIBLY SOFFFFFT!!! They are a slightly thicker gauge of rayon knit than a lot of garments out there, and I think that’s great especially as it enhances the strength/durability particularly of the seat of the pants. Upon receiving the set, I realized that the Size Chart (which is found if you scroll down through the description) basically tells the NON-stretched measurements of the garments. I wanted mine to fit snug like leggings/longjohns, but I ordered too big a size thinking the Chart was indicating what proportions the garments would comfortably stretch TO. I’m 5’3”, 147lb, 42” bust, 34” waist, 41” hips and typically wear size 10 or 12 pants/jeans & size 14 top. The XL bamboo set is too loose (it’s Not having to stretch across me anywhere). I’m going to return them & order the M or L. They feel so very soft - wish they were offered in some rich jewel tones. And seller could eliminate a lot if frustrations over fittings by clarifying that the measurements on chart are UNstretched. Follow-up: The sizes M & L arrived today. While the M stretched greatly for a very snug fit without discomfort or seams popping, I’m instead keeping the L which also fits snug. Despite being snug I could slide my open hands into/below waistband and stretch the knit about 6” away from my thighs but it snapped right back once hands were removed. I tried pulling on my tight stretch-jeans over each size & both resisted being drug up my leg as I pulled up the denim. The L may get a little looser over the course of a day, but I don’t foresee it getting baggy. Another reason for keeping the L is to allow for any shrinking (I don’t put rayon/modal/viscose/bamboo in the dryer & I wash w/cold water, but I have had garments if this type fiber shrink from being hung too close to a heat vent to air dry). Earlier I forgot to praise the inclusion of a crotch gusset which minimizes stress on seams in the area, enhances ease of movement, & thus assures longer durability! You may consider my measurements earlier in the review as related to my last descriptions that follow...For my proportions the legs (on sizes M, L, & XL) have at least 3” extra length so I can pull them down over my heels. Sleeves are about 2.5” extra, so I could add thumb holes near the ends if I wanted to. The scoop neck won’t keep neck/chest warm, but it also likely won’t be annoyingly visible if layered under winter outerwear. The waist elastic is 3/4” wide and very accommodating. I didn’t measure XL circumference, but L is 30.5” & M is 28”. Yet even the M didn’t feel squeezy/uncomfortable on my 34” waist (conversely the XL didn’t feel like it was sliding off either). I don’t want to take off the size L which I’m keeping (and wearing as I write this). IF there was a wider color variety available & a price tag about $15 cheaper, I would be buying several more sets. They feel great! Read more
