I love, love, love these pants.  They are similar to the fit of Gloria Vanderbilt Avery pants but at much more reasonable price.  Be aware that while these are made of very nice stretch denim, they are a trouser style.  They do not fit like jeans.  The straight leg is flattering and not too tapered.  Tends to fall straight from the hip balancing my heavy hip/lower abdomen area.  They do have a small amount of shrinkage after washing and drying but as with most of my pants (stretch and non-stretch) they relax after a little while.  Very, very comfortable.  I think I will order 12 when I lose 5 more pounds.  I am 54 and 170 lb. 32-33 waist.  I don't like tight fit that causes muffin top so the wide waist band helps.  The average length fit me well.  Just long enough to wear with heels but not too long to wear with comfort shoes.  A little too long for my flat sandals, but thats okay.  Anyway, these are my favorites.  I hope this review was helpful.
