I purchased your Amanda jeans a few years ago and I loved them.  They were a perfect fit.  I had put on some weigh around my waist.  I bought the next size at Kohl's which seem to fit perfect.  When I got them home I realized I had bout a short length and with shoes on they just came to my ankles.  I returned them and bought two pairs in a size 12 regular.  They're too big in the leg and the waist is too big that they keep sliding down.  I've tried numerous times to shrink them but without any luck.  I find that their sizes are deceiving.  If I buy them again I'll be sure to try them on.
