These jeans rock! I would say they are tru to size. The waist is great and is just what I've been looking for. It defeats the muffin top but don't like you are ready for depends. It is so awesome to wear a pair of jeans and not have to shove the muffins top down especially when I sit. They are true jean fabric and the pockets are real. They lie soooo smoothly under my shirt. The pockets are a good size so the butt looks good. This is what I have been looking for !!
