Okay...let me start by saying, ladies get over the size issue! I wear a 18/20, but in these I wear a size 24 medium! No worries about what the size is, because they fit well, are made well and just sooooo comfortable! Trick is to figure out what size you need and then go to town and order a couple pair!! and believe me they sell out quick....tried to get another couple pair today and the color I want is sold out! Darn it! I would and have recommended them to alot of girls that compliment me on my jeans when I have them on...I tell them all to log onto Amazon and get hooked up with some great jeans!!
