As other reviewers noted, the petites run SMALL in the dark washes - well, "small" compared to Levi's "new" sizing (what, you didn't notice that they bumped down sizes a couple years ago?  I sure did.  I put on 20 lbs and magically lost a size!)  Anyway, the dark washes are comparable to their old sizing.  I went up one size.

What can you say about Levi's?  They fit my body shape (slightly boyish), they last a good long time, they have been my goto jeans for three decades of styles.  The biggest negative for me is the fact that Levi's hasn't been Made in the USA for AGES!  But, neither are any other jeans in this price range.
