My 5yo hates wearing real jeans so these are perfect - leggings style but still denim. The only problem I have with them is that they're a little tighter in the waist than expected. She wears size 6 pants and these size 6 are tighter in the waist than all her other size 6 pants. They still fit and look great - high enough that everything stays covered in the back when she's bending over. I'll be ordering them again but one size up.
