I like these a lot, even as someone that doesn't tend to wear animal print. I have a 37 inch waist and 43 inch hips, with longer legs, and the US 16-18 fit me well with some room to not feel like I'd tear them with the slightest movement. Keep in mind that the sizing listed here is Dress Size, so you may want to size down and/or try to go by your brief sizing to make sure they fit properly. I have thighs that are larger than typical for my frame which is why I sized up to be safe, but pulling these on didn't seem like a chore due to the size I chose and the material.
The material itself is very soft, but also very delicate (especially between the spots), so you need to be very careful with these. Although the material is soft, the tightness of the weave and the flex of the fibers chosen suck you in a little bit to provide a bit of smoothing. The leopard spots are woven into the overall weave, so you don't have to worry much about the pattern stretching oddly or peeling away.
All in all, a wonderful fit and I'm glad I took a chance on these!
