These leggings conform to my legs so well. I did have to do a few grading between sizes, but it was easy to do with this pattern because of the design style. I graded from 16 @ waist to 18 @ high hip, & to 20 @ full hip. I made in in cotton Lycra that feels great on my body but I find that the pockets are a bit droopy, therefore I plan to make another on in a firm knit to gauge the fit and hang of the pockets.
