I think that might be her problem - that she has a waist! Riding pants never, ever really fit me back in my more buff and shapely days. And don't laugh...there was actually a time when I WAS relatively buff and shapely, believe it or not! Another plus to enjoying cheesecake - there are actually advantages to not having much of a waistline anymore! :) >>>> I think I would have to go into an oversize pair.

The key is to buy a larger than stated size, so that the fabric isn't pulled so thin. But, I still agree - I never buy off the internet until I've tried a pair in a store - with a dressing room with good lighting and full length mirrors! Karen Thomas, NC
