I ordered a size 14W because I saw a couple others who had measurements similar to mine did (I'm approx. 5'4" and 165 lbs and my hips are approx. 42"). I typically wear a siz 10 jeans/pants. I was expecting a pair or skinny jeans but the material was more like jeggings than denim, and these are very loose around my waist and hips but snug from my knees down. I felt so dowdy when I put this on. I really wanted to like it, but I'm returning this pair.
