I read the reviews and sized down. The jeans fit my hips and thighs nicely. However, I purchased these jeans because I always have a gap in the waist. I thought the curvy line would fix that, but this pair didn't. I still have like a 2 inch gap and that is with sizing down. These jeans also run very long. I will fix that. I'm going to keep the jeans because they are cute overall.

These do NOT stretch.. I got my regular size 9 and I could barely get it past my thighs. The belt is cute though. I’ll keep that.
