I am 5.3\\\" and weigh 128lbs, I ordered a size M and they fit like I wanted them too. I could have gotten the medium and they would also fit. I now own 5 pairs because these pants are so comfortable. They are soft and move easily. The pockets are normal size. They wash well with no shrinking. I hang them to dry so I can't say if they shrink in the dryer. They have not piled up. These can be worn not just for home but running errands or walking, jogging etc. I would recommend these summer pants.
