Best pair of 7's yet. I am a curvy petite gal (5'0") ranging between size 27" and 29" waist depending on jean.  I'm a 29" in 7's (28" in Lucky's).  I always tailor at the waist and length to get comfort in the leg (I am curvy in leg with a booty, but have smaller waist and flat tummy).  This jean is perfect for my figure, so if you have similar body type I recommend these HIGHLY - very slenderizing in the leg without being too tight (and will work if you have a bit of a tummy).  I have to take in the waist a "hair" and of course the length, but the overall fit is so flattering.  The waist is a bit higher than a mid rise (not much though), and lower than a typical high rise.  I would not recommend for straight figures.
