It may be my fault for not really realizing what "fitted ankle" really meant.  I usually wear a 12, so I order 10s and sometimes 8s in NYDJ, and they hold in my tummy so well that I am very devoted to them.  I have a big tush but skinny legs so I try to get skinny leg jeans, but these take the cake.  They fit so tight at my ankle that I feel like they look like leggings.  I got a 10 in these, but they fit much too tight.  Maybe if I lose a little weight they will look better, but for now, I just have to say they're just ok, not great
