These jeans are honestly gorgeous, and look great on-HOWEVER! The waist is SNUG. I'm a pretty true size 16, and I can barely get these buttoned. They are very high waisted on me, whch I like, but that waist is t i g h t honey. It gives me major muffin top, and Im bummed bc I really do like these. I plan to use a button extender just for the extra inch or two of room, bc they fit great everywhere else.
