These are not the first pair of Levi's I've owned. I have several pairs of 7s that are all much too large now, so I ordered a 5 thinking one size smaller would be perfect. They fit well everywhere except for the very top of the waist band (which hits just above the widest part of the hip). There just isn't enough hip room in these and even tho they are superlow rise, they cinch in a bit at the waste band. There is a big difference between the 7s and 5s, so if you can't try them on or don't know EXACTLY what size you wear, don't bother unless you don't mind sending them back. These particualr pair are also a very light weight denim, I was expecting something a bit thicker like my other ones, so I was a bit dissappointed. Overall they are cute but I can't really wear them comfortably.
