It freed up a ton of room so that our Flex wasnt packed to the gills. Very loose fit, cute but hurt ankle due to fit. The lack of instructions is a flaw on the part of the company. I really wish they had some sort of extra invention to keep it shut. Would?ve given these 5 stars in a heartbeat since I have ordered several letters and wear them all the time but the letter S for some reason came in different packaging and looks a lil smaller than the others I have. Has a vanilla smell. Sure enough research be dammed, these are suuuper comfortable, warm and most importantly reasonably priced. They fit great, only issue is they are pretty hard to slip on, tried with and without socks. Im a full figured fluffy gal 54" size 20/22, purchased a 3x as I wanted the options of 2" - 4" reduction based on how I truss the garment, fully tightened Im a solid size 18 in the waist. She felt like a little grownup.
