Ordered these after trying on a lower-rise version in Nordstrom. Returned the Nordstrom, bought these on Amazon and I wear them anytime I'm going for a casual look. They have traveled around the world with me - I've worn them on the plane. Great lines, wonderful fit - and I'm a curvy girl. I did have the waist altered to make the fit better prior to washing. Washing made them snug, but by no means uncomfortable. They are a great jean, I'm now sold on Paige Denim, flattering fit and classic style.
