Ordered a size 8--I usually wear a size 6 or 8 misses or petites pants, 9 juniors. These were not a petite, but the rise was still too short and uncomfortable when sitting. Looked nice, and well made in USA, but sent them back as they were not comfortable on me. Every body is a little different, and with free return shipping, it would be worth trying these to see if they fit you well. Other reviewers here did find them comfy, and they're very cute.
