I absolutely love these jeans! The fit, the length, the fabric, everything!  I wouldnt consider myself curvy, but I often have a waist/hip fit issue. These are tailored so that waist is more tapered and not nearly straight like some of my mall brand jeans.  For reference, Im 56, 137lbs, 27/28inch waist (varies) and I wear a size 6 or 28 in most brands.  I ordered a 7 in these and the fit is absolutely perfect.
