The design tapers towards the ankles, making your legs look slimmer. I received this as a gift, so I don't know the details, but I was told it was purchased new at Don Quijote. I have only tried it on. Please understand that there may be differences in how colors appear, and returns are not accepted if the item looks different from your expectations. The size is written if you look at the photos to the end. Please note that these are amateur measurements, so there may be slight errors, but I used a measuring tape, so the margin of error should be small. Thank you.
