This is a direct quote from my 9 year old granddaughter about these leggings! She's quite slim and tall and has a form fitting body, so it's difficult to find pants and leggings that fit her. Elastic waist was a little big. They are long lasting and she will be able to wear them for quite a while until they grow. The length was good and didn't bunch up. It's nice to find something that suits her, that she likes so much.
