As a few other reviewers have noted, Dickies' sizing is truly all over the map. I am 5'2" tall, weigh 103 lbs, have a size 27 waist and size 33 hips. I typically wear a Juniors size 5 so there was no hesitation in ordering a pair of these college pants in that size. I decided to keep them after trying them on immediately after they were delivered. They felt a little snug but were not uncomfortable. After they were washed and dried on the gentlest cycle, however, the waist of the pants shrunk. They still fit but I have to suck in my already flat tummy if I want to walk around with these pants zipped and hooked. Needless to say, I am very disappointed but I will hold on to the pants for a couple more months before deciding if they should be given away (I work out 6 days a week and am on a different nutrition program currently, so my body shape may change again). Quality-wise, the material of the pants is thick and the stitching is excellent. Buyers, beware: these pants are a serious lint magnet.
