Wow, these are just the best fitting cords I've ever worn. Before I ordered I read some of the feedback and I totally agree with the woman who wrote that they became her favorite pants. They fit amazingly well and stretch in every direction so they look beautifully tailored. My recommendation: DEFINITELY order one size smaller. After reading several feedback blogs, I did. I normally wear a 6, or even 8 occasionaly. I ordered these in a 4 and they fit perfect. I SO hope they don't shrink after washed. I'd hate to loose the length. I have a 31" inseam and these are a bit longer so I can wear heels. If they shrink, then I'll have to wear flats. :(  Stay tuned...
Good news - they did not shrink after being washed. Now they ARE my favorite pants. I have now ordered another pair in brown...
