I LOVE these jeans! I am 5'4" and 155lb, 30in waist, 42in hips and ordered a size 11. They are a tight fit but that is what I was looking for. I have thick thighs and butt, so it took some time and wiggling to get them up, but once I did they fit like a dream. Best of all- no waist gap between my back and butt!! That is always a problem for me but not with these jeans. These jeans are very comfortable, and this is coming from someone who prefers leggings or skirts over jeans any day of the week. I've been wearing them around the house all day and loving them! They are a true high waist and come 1 inch above my belly button. I did not realize the front pocket is fake but I actually like that better for the sleek and sexy factor. My only complaint is that the front belt loops are not evenly spaced- the left belt loop is 2 inches from the button and the right is 3 inches from the button. However, at this price point I did not expect perfection and it doesn't affect my satisfaction with this product.
