As a newer mom I needed a boost in the self esteem department and have been eyeing hudson jeans for a while.  I had a coupon for 20% off and jumped in.  These jeans are fabulous.  They hug very tightly which makes me feel smaller and firmer.  They are super flattering to the bum.  Love looooveee.  Next time I have a coupon Il'l get another pair!  They do bleed quite a bit I'd wash cold gentle with other very darks as well because they do bleed on cold gentle with anything any lighter.  I ordered a 24 because I heard they run large.  They fit perfect.  I am 5'2" 100 lbs and short waisted.  My measurements are about 26" waist, 36" hip.  I have very slim legs.  They stretch quite a bit in the hip for me in order to fit my legs snug the way I like.  Love!
