I was concerned when I first opened the package that the flare was bigger than I expected.....but when I tried them on....PERFECT!  The fit is amazing as they are very flattering.  I am 5'4" and 125lbs with my weight being on my thighs and butt and ordered size 5 (w26) which fit perfect so I would say they are true to size.  I LOVE the high waist because you can tuck a shirt in and have a nice silhouette and if you wear a shirt/sweater untucked you don't get a bulge from the pants since the waist sits so high.  The vendor was very attentive as they followed up to confirm I received the package and shipment was timely.
