I should have known to size up, since that is what i usually do for skinny jeans (ordered a size 27, should have done 28). good quality denim, just too tight in the legs for my taste. i debated trying a bigger size, but decided i just don't love the distressed look on me. although i love that they offer high-rise petites. for reference, 5'2", 115 lbs., curvy on bottom, usually a size 4/6 for pants.
