My wife is 5ft 6in, and she normally wears a size 10 jean. According to the size chart, a size medium should fit sizes 8-10. I opted to get her a large just in case, and I'm glad I did because the medium would have been WAY too small. The large actually fit her well, not baggy but not overly tight either. I was actually surprised by how flattering the feminine cut was on these snow pants. The "Black Crossdye" is very nice, almost has a textured look to it. It also appears that the cuffs should do a good job of keeping snow from creeping up around her boots. The only downside I see to these pants is that the size chart can be misleading, and I'm sure depending on a women's figure the fit could be thrown off one way or another. I would just advise that if you are at the top end of a size, you should probably go up one (it does have belt loops if the waist ends up a little too loose), especially if you are planning on wearing layers underneath the pant. Also, while the outer material has a nice look and feel to it, it does not appear to be very abrasion or tear resistant to me. Therefore, I don't know that these would be the best pants if you are into more aggressive winter sports, etc. overall I am pleased with the product at the $66 sale price I paid, but I'm not sure they would be worth the 90-something regular price in the long run.
