I am writing this review because I almost bought a 12. I am in between sizes right now and many of the reviews said they run big. Those ladies must have been blessed with slim legs. I am a 12/14 and these are a true 14! They are NOT skinny jeans but fit me tighter in thighs and butt, and then looser at the bottom. Love them! I am thinking of getting another pair for back-up!
