Crisscross Hourglass® Flared Leggings with Pockets - Smoky Navy

Hi there, 40 something, 6'2 and 3/4" and 255 lbs, female, checking in. I bought the Cleo Corset Crop Bralette - Black in size XL and the Crisscross Hourglass® Flared Leggings with Pockets - Black in size 1XL. Upon arrival, my body dysmorphia told me "that is NOT going to fit you." and I left my purchase sit on a chair for a day. During that day I revisited Popflex's size chart and confirmed, again, that yes, that is my size according to my inches. Yes, my inches are on the top end of that size but still I am that size.
I stuffed my body dysmorphia down and "stuffed" (I don't feel stuffed, not even a little bit) myself into the fit. No screams of stretched fabric happened. No popped stitches. The outfit seems to fit just fine. No camel toe could be found. But I needed reassurance and eyes on my back side. So, off to find my partner. I "forced" my husband to check out my butt during a squat and asked if he could see skin. He said "nope, looking good."
I wore the outfit around the house, that evening, for a few hours, as loungewear to see how it felt being worn that way. Very comfortable. No tugging, tiny bit of folding w the bra when sitting but the tummy rolls be strong when I sit. So, still not complaining. Okay, okay, Popflex, I see you.
I am fluffy but working on my fit, especially throughout this last year. One of my biggest complaints, problems, emotional meltdowns during my workouts is my leggings slipping down, constantly. I have bought from the cheaper box stores. And I have bought from more expensive brands that focus on athletic wear. It's all the same, every other jump or twist I am having to pull the entire waist up from my hips. I even started to wear a waist trainer as a belt to keep my work out pants up.
This morning I wore my Popflex outfit during my 40 min workout and put it to the tug and pull test. During the course of my workout, I found myself re-adjusting the bottom of the bra a couple times, maybe 5 times max but there was no tugging it down. As far as the leggings, same thing, re-adjusting the top a little but didn't find myself needing to YANK them back up. I also found I was able to raise the intensity of my workout bc I wasn't worrying about pulling my clothes back where they belong.
I want to add that the 37" cover my ankles nicely. However, I would not be mad at a 39" inseam launch, in the future. I would even happily pay a bit extra for the extra inches. I say that bc I am notorious for shrinking everything after a few washes.
I am still questioning if I should go a size up? I am wondering if the little bit of tugging would be eliminated completely if there was just a bit more fabric? But will going a size bigger be too big and in return eliminate the "snatched" look and feeling I am currently having in this size?
Thanks for reading.
Enjoy your day

I really like the quality of these. I accidentally bought mine too short because I used my inseam and didn’t measure to the floor. The stretch and compression are nice, they don’t get see through when stretched and are buttery soft. I might size up for the next pair because they seem just a bit tight on my legs which is affecting the flare at the bottom, but even then, they are still comfortable.

I'm 5'1" with a 25" waist. I got XS inseam 29". I thought I would like the 27" inseam more but it felt too awkwardly short when I wasn't wearing shoes and moreso when I did wear shoes. The fabric is soft, but it does attract dust and fur. There's a slight feeling of extra fabric depending on how I pose/stand; it might be resolved if I sized down to XXS, but I didn't try XXS since it didn't bother me enough.

Actually so obsessed with this. As soon as the first one came and I tried it on I ordered a second one. Love love love. Please make more colours for 27" length.

It's so hard to find bigger sizes in petite length so this was perfect. I got a size medium in 27" the shortest length. I usually have to go get leggings/pants altered as I am 5' but this was the perfect fit and length. The criss cross design is also perfect as it covers up the sides well and it is so comfortable I wear it everywhere! I wish the 27" length came in more colours than black and red. Please do a cute soft pink and cream colour!

I hesitated to buy these because of the price but I really wanted some 2010s style flared yoga pants and these are it!! They're not the same cotton material but they're so soft and comfortable that I don't mind, plus I can wear these to the gym! I'm not usually a casual or athleisure dresser but since getting these in black I've been wearing them often. These leggings look so cute with a boatneck top in the same color or an oversized cardigan/sweater. According to my wardrobe tracking app I've worn them 20 times over three and a half months! Another thing I love about them is the anti-cameltoe/no seam in the front. It makes the leggings look less athletic-y and makes them more comfortable.

I'm right between 5'3" and 5'4" and my usual size is Medium. I got these leggings in Medium with a 29" inseam.
