Sizing is Inconsistent!

I bought three pairs of these pants in L/XL for myself. Two of them (the black and the black with white elephants) are fine and sized the same. The third pair (in color "midnight") was obviously smaller. Just holding them up with the other two pairs, the waist is SEVERAL inches smaller. I thought maybe they were just more severely smocked (they have elastic smocking in the waist, which makes the sizing pretty flexible), but the fabric itself - even outside the smocked area - was much tighter than the other two pairs. It's as if they are mis-labeled (because the label does say L/XL). It's a bummer - I've bought a lot of these pants in this brand and others, and I am rarely disappointed, but this sizing is so far off that I have to write a negative review. (I'm also going to write positive reviews of the other colors, though, because when the fit is accurate, these pants can be great.)
