If I had not read the reviews, I would have been shocked! I wear a size 4/6 jean and I bought the large (size 10) in these and they fit perfectly. The material is more for spring than winter (pretty thin but not breathable enough for Summer). The tie is really cute and the length is fine. I will say though that I have muscular calves and these are just a teeny bit tight around my calves....and then they flair at my ankles. Kind of weird. But if I roll them up once at the bottom they look really cute.
