I wear a size 9 in juniors ( I'm 5'2 and 145lbs).  These jeans are very flattering and I still have a little wiggle room.  Does not squeeze my waist so no muffin top.  This is my 3rd wallflower jeans (famous bootcut, vintage flare, and these).  I find this brand very comfortable and stylish.  Belt is kinda cheap, but I didn't buy these for the belt.  Oh and for us shorties, this brand does run long so expect to hem, or wear heels with these.  Not a major issue.
