I got the usual size I buy for my daughter here, and they were too tight across the hips, though fine in the waist and length. My daughter was not able to walk or sit comfortably in them. Perhaps it is because the material is thick and less stretchy than the Gymboree leggings. We are going to try them in a larger size. They are in a nice thick material and I love the pattern, so I am hopeful sizing up will work.
