    Sandy- I have both the Ibex loose tights and the smart wool twister pants. I usually wear an 8-10 in pants (I am really a 10 in the booty-thigh area generally) and I have the large in the loose tight (still snug on the rear, but not in a bad way) and I have the medium in the smartwool twister pants, they are much more forgiving. Still snug on the butt, but much less than the Ibex, and looser through the thigh... I would think that the large would be fine for you. I love both, but they are really different. The twister pant is a lot thinner and softer, more like the smartwool tops. I really like the rise on them, it is a nice mid-rise, below the belly button on the hips, but not low cut by any means.... no plummer but potential there :-) Since they are lighter weight I feel like I can probably wear them for more of the year compared to the Ibex loose tight. I plan on wearing them on some of the really long airline flights I have coming up (think 16 hours on a plane), I thought the Ibex ones might be too warm for that length of time sitting on a plane.

    Finally, the twister pant does come really long, they even tell you this on the tag, as they expect it to shrink some when washing. They say to wash cold and dry on low heat. I did this, and they did shrink a little bit, but really only in length and not too much. If you really need the length I would also keep them far far away from the dryer.

    Enjoy!

    Forgive me, Woolweenies, for I have sinned... (against financial common sense.)

    I just ordered the Meru helmet liner, Twizel shirt, and Collo T-neck from Ibex.
    I created a "personal account" so Ibex can love me as I deserve to be loved.

    Lo, I have craved the Collo t-neck for at least 2 years now (since Title 9 had it and I tried it on). Yea, I did watch as the price dipped lower and lower, and my first color choice did sell out. And my second color choice. And yet the price did plummeteth further. I lost my faith at the sight of my 3rd color choice, and I did purchase.

    I do not need a Meru helmet liner. And certainly not in "Espresso". But I was sorely tempted by the price. $10, oh fellow Woolweenies. Say it with me: TEN DOLLARS. And lo, I did succumb.

    The Twizel... ah, behold the Twizel. Perhaps one of the gawd-awful ugliest shirts in existence. But in a sad, sick, 1970's throw-back kind of way it did call to me. I yearned for the Collo and the Meru, but the Twizel is simply a case of lust. More than 50% off. Yea, I am weak.

    Even when the daemons of the internet informed me that the Twizel (the TWIZEL?!?! you must be KIDDING!!) was backordered, I swayed not from my perilous path. I ordered the misbegotten thing, anyway.

    Who needs food? Who needs to pay the car insurance? Who needs electricity? No, it is wool, the siren song of wool that drives me forward.

    It's back-ordered because Jan Brady ordered several just before you did.

    Knot what would Suze say?

    I happen to like the Twizel, it is very soft looking, very feminine. But I also love the espresso coloured meru helmet liner.
