These jeans run very large. I usually wear an 8/10 short. In these pants I wore a 6 petite. That said, I love them and want to order another pair. I wear them all of the time in winter. They are a tad bulky, but they are easy to slip on and are comfortable and warm. I usually wear Cuddle Duds under my clothes and wondered how these would be different. The difference I think is that they move as one piece which is a bit comfier.

I will say I ordered the indigo color in Regular and Petite size in 10, 8, and then 6. The scale of the cut changes quite a lot. In a 10 I wondered who in the world would wear such ugly pants. They belonged on Dumbo or something. The proportions were all wrong, but as you size down it changes a lot more than a typical women's cut.

I think the sizing thing has to do with the brand concept - being your boyfriend's jeans you want to think they are loose and not your size. Sizing up usually turns women off from buying, so they move you down a size or two and voila, you feel petite and reasonably cute.

I would recommend these jeans for any girl who wants flannel lined jeans.
