Kaia Pearl High Rise Jean Petite

I was super excited for these jeans (the black denim). I love a good wide leg pant. I've been wearing wide leg since before it was popular. I am 5'4'' with a coke bottle figure. Tiny waist but fuller from the waist down. I was very disappointed that the fit of the jeans was snug in the thighs. Some people in reviews said the jeans are bigger than expected. Others said depending on sizing you can have a snugger fit, and they like that. Some suggested ordering petite if you're shorter because it would be chalIenging to shorten the jeans due to the design/embellishments. I ordered my typical size - 31 - but in petitie since I'm short. It did not deliver the look I wanted. Maybe because I ordered 31 petite instead of 31 regular? Maybe it would have been a true wide leg fit if I'd gone with regular sizing? I'll never know. I have other wide leg jeans that are truly wide leg (not fitted in the thigh), and that's what I was hoping for.
