I love my Dakinis! Your tops and pants have become my cool weather uniform. The wider waistband on the leggings is more comfortable and more flattering, in my opinion. I'm also so happy that you've made them in the petite length. Maybe next season we'll see the wider leg pants in the petite length also.
I have these in navy and in black in the regular length, and I wear them all the time. I decided to give the petites a try because I'm 5'1". They are (no surprise) a better fit. The wide waistband is very comfortable, and I find it more flattering than the regular waistband. The fabric on all the leggings is smooth outside and fleecy and cozy inside. They are very warm but not too warm indoors. With a Dakini top or a sweater, Dakini leggings have become my winter uniform. I'll still wear my regulars, but I'm glad I got the petites.
