Love these jeans! They slim your butt and hips, look great, and wash really well. I have them in 3 colors. I have short legs, and the petite length works great. They do run small, so you'll have to leave your ego at the door (in some colors). The black and dark washes fit much tighter than the lighter color jean wash at the same size. I had to go up to a 14 in the darker color even though I usually wear a 12. Oh well, only I know that. :-)
