Not gonna lie - I feel like I bought some mom jeans.  I mean, the waist is super high rise but it's awesome! No muffin top - comfortable stretchy material and pretty flattering.  Really, I need to buy a few more pairs because of the comfort/style factor.  I am short - 5'2" and the petites are great. I always wear a heal, though, even if a small one, so they might be long in ballet flats for someone my height.

So glad a friend told me about these.  I do find that I have to pull the waist up more than I'd like.  I'm not overweight or underweight so I'm not sure what the issues is there and it's the only reason I don't give the full five stars.  I do agree that you should buy at least a size smaller than you normally wear as they run big.
