Love these jeans. Size 8 is perfect. They do run large, so get a size smaller than what you actually wear. Wearing these jeans makes me feel thin again. Unlike other jeans I have, they actually hug my figure. I don't look like I am wearing jodhpurs (no extra material in saddle bag area). They are quite long, so unless you wear heels or are tall, hemming may be needed. These jeans are incredibly comfortable. I am 5'5" 140 lbs and I have 2 pair in size 8. Love them!!!!!
