I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly. Makes your butt look better and fit my waist perfectly. The wash looks great, not too many whiskers.... The length is somewhat long for me, but being 5'2" you can say I'm used to this... I got them altered a little. About 2 inch hem. But all in all great pair if 7's. they are nice thicker denim, but stretchy enough and  not tight on calf like skinny styles. The straight is actually straight!! Can't say enough positives about them! Love my new 7's!
