I originally reviewed this jean incorrectly as I confused them with another pair of straight leg "7" jeans that fit completely different.  This jean is very soft and comfortable and does not fit as snug as other jeans in this brand.  They have become my favorite "kick around" jean and in fact purchased another pair of "7" jeans because of them, but was disappointed.  These jeans work with curvy figures such as mine even with the low rise. I give them a big recommend for comfort and more of a casual look. If you want real snug go a size lower, though I think this jean is meant for a more lose fit.
