I was skeptical about ordering jeans on Amazon, but figured what the hell - I can always return them. I ordered a size 5 first, based on reviews, and did indeed have to return them because they were too small. The 7s fit. As others have said, these have quite a bit of stretch to them. Even so, I find myself pulling them up throughout the day. A belt helps. There is also definitely a cheaper feel to these, but that's to be expected considering the price tag. These are pretty great for $20, and I will probably order the black pair in the fall. For reference, I'm 5'2" and 122 lbs.
