wish they ran much longer & had a silicone waistband! im 5'9", hourglass figure (wide hips & shoulders) and wear a L. i love the compression, but the waist on these never stays put and rolls as soon as your hands come off the leggings! its soo annoying and for that reason i stopped wearing my first pair of optime 3 stripes that i bought last summer. they fit well and i was excited for them, but couldn't wear them more than 1-2 times because of that. even on upper body days, theyre sooo uncomfortable to be in. even if you have the flattest of stomachs, i dont see how the waistband will stay put. as far as length, i like to wear my tights and somewhat hike/gather some of the material in my inner thighs just for reassurance that im not over stretching the hip area when im extending or stretching, and that makes my leggings look like 7/8 length at the most! even if i weren't to pull them up slightly on my inner thighs, the length wouldnt stay put for any seated movements, let alone, upright movements throughout a workout without feeling shorter and shorter. an extra 2-3 inches i believe would be perfect!
