These pants are extremely stretchy and comfortable. I got a size and a half bigger than my actual size, just in case they were the tight kind of jean. But they are actually a little too big! I was very surprised and pleased with how well they fit me, unlike most brands of jeans that stores carry. The waist isn't tight at all like I was expecting it may be. I will buy more pants from this company and I would recommend these pants to any girl/woman who is curvy and looking for pants that fit comfortably yet look like regular junior's skinny jeans.
