I really like how this model adapts and shapes my body. I'm petite lady, 120 lbs, with a medium butt. I was trying to substitute the an old Levis I been wearing for a year with a "clon", that is, with a new Levis same model and same size. I was a little bit disappointed with the size! I thought Even if my old levis 518 has loosed up a little with use, the new one I got is larger. It doesn't fit as well as my old one, even if it looks very with the help of a nice belt. I wish I had gotten it in a smaller size. If you had some butt and not too small of a waist, and you are petite, this may look good on you -as it does on me. It might be just mine, but I will definitely size down next time!
