I got a size 7. Im 140 lbs and 5'3". The length is perfect for me. The waste is not too high. But i def need a belt to hold it up or got a size 5. But the waste and thighs are perfect. Its my new fave jeans. They have stretchy material and thick enough that they don't feel like jeggings. I just bought another jeans for more and the reviews were glowing so i bought it. But with a small frame and glutes,  i didn't have the same success as others. But these jeans make a new mom feel and look young at a reasonable price. Love it. And i bought 2 colors. Ill buy more of samwle brand
