My daughter is super hard to shop for when it comes to Jeans, she is 11 years old and weighs about 54lbs on a good day. These Levi's are about the only pants that fit her and are just long enough to not look ridiculous.  I have marked them as fits as expected but that is because I know they will fit her. She needs the SLIM and SKINNY to keep them on her and still will wear a belt. If you are looking for a pair of jeans for a "average" size child then I would say these might run on the small size. But for a skinny minnie they are perfect.
