Shrank slightly in length after washing in a bag in cold water on delicate and line dried. Waist measurement remained the same, thank goodness.I love these and wear them during the winter. I bought medium. For reference, I am 5'6" tall 116lbs. I wear 31 1/2 inch inseam pants.I could probably have bought small but I have been buying these for years and prefer them on the loose side. They have a 28inch inseam. Ankle circumference is 10 inches.Now to the waist band... it has elastic inside but it measures (at rest) 31 inches. It will stretch OUT if you want it too. The waistband is about 2 inches wide. I see a lot of complaints about the waistband on the manufacturer's website with people saying that it's changed. While I have no problem believing that, and agreeing that the waistband is an issue, I have never bought any of these with any sort of different waistband. Must have been before I started buying them. Anyway, I can still wear these, baggy waistband and all, under my yoga pants without any issues. I even fold the waistband over which helps.In spite of this feature, I am still giving these 5 stars as I love them. They are so light and soft and yet really help with the cold. Now I don't live in sub zero temperatures, and if I did perhaps I would want something thicker.These are a lovely dusky rose with a gorgeous sheen.Just ok. The wait bant elastic isn’t sewn in so it does tend to twist. Other than that I was pretty warm with these under Carharrt work pants while doing barn chores.I like them to cover my ankles and these do not do that, otherwise they are very nice. Hasn't been really cold yet so we'll see how they are when the temps are very cold.This is my second pair of these. As other reviewers mention, the waistband is a little wide, but I like that! It will most definitely not give you a muffin top. The waistband elastic is 2 inches wide, so it's really comfortable. Silk will keep you warm! Great under jeans.I've been delighted with these. They fit well, going on and off easily yet staying in place when worn. Quality is good and no problems/issues. I won't hesitate to buy these again.They are very comfortableThese are completely see-through a little bit short the petite is nice in the crotch ratio to waist And the extra large although they seem to fit don’t feel right on me Although they technically fit
