Absolutely love these jeans. One of my Top faves. Good quality, great stretch, beautiful fit no matter what shape or size. I even purchased a pair for my mom, who wears a size 16 to 18, and she Loved so much she had me order her 2 more pairs. Just wish they had more colors. They do have high stretch so, sizing down will be ok, depending on body type, and preference of how you want the fit. Purchasing your norm size would be good as well, again, depending on your body shape.
