Fits perfect. Has enough stretch that you can purchase your actual size. I bought two pairs. 16 & 18. They both fit. 16 fit like a glove. Hugged my bottom emphasized its shape. The 18 fit but was loose in the crotch, bottom and a gap in the waist in the back. I have a big tummy and big bum. I’m 5’8 and they’re long. Touching the ground & I love that. I bought platform Ugg dupes from FashionNova to wear with them. Plan on wearing them with heels as well. Waist goes over my belly button so I’d say they are high rise enough for me. I’ll be returning the size 18. I tried to provide enough details to help.
