The color is fantastic, but unfortunately they don't fit. I probably didn't research the UK vs US sizing well enough or take into account the construction of the garment and need for greater room to get it on and off. It's a bummer. I'm also not sure the ties are the best functional fit for me as I was buying these for work and only have time for fast bathroom breaks so I probably need something that can be done/undone more quickly. But I'm in love with the color and perhaps when I drop some weight they will work. They will be an aspirational item in my wardrobe now. :)
