I love these jeans! I am thin, and I am not sure what the last woman meant when she said there was room for an extra twenty pounds under the stomach. There is a little extra room but its nothing ridiculous and it is quite comfortable. I actually think I should have went down a size.  The petite length is just perfect for me and I am 5'4. My mom is the same height and they were too short on her.  I love these jeans because they are comfortable and stylish, and that is hard to find.
