runs small

There isn't much stretch. If you're a girl with curves like me, definitely go up two sizes. I'm usually a size 27 or 28, but I could barely get this up my hips.

LOVE!!!

Love the fit of these skinny jeans! Purchased my regular size and yes I had to wriggle to get them on but they look and feel amazing! These are great if you have narrow hips and a small backside.

Soft. Comfortable

These jeans said they ran a bit small and I ordered a size up (usually a 30) ordered a 32 and a bit big in the waist hips, but nice in legs. Keeping them because they're comfy and I like the cut. I am 5'5", weight 165.
