These Marie trousers are very comfortable and there's no bulk with the fleece lining, so I ordered my usual size (10/36). I'm normally a UK size 10 on the high street and the trousers fit perfectly. Lots of stretch, so there's no bagginess, but not skintight like a legging - just perfect! The lining gives warmth and is lovely and soft. The colour taupe is less of a pinkish cocoa brown than the pic on my monitor suggests, it's a lovely neutral that works with my browns and other warm colours. Arrived in NZ in two weeks from dispatch and shipping cost was what you'd expect. Great service, very pleased. Thank you.
