Definitely size down. I’m 5’4 and the crotch area was a few inches toooooo big. These jeans are for someone taller. The quality wasn’t great

Beautiful jeans! I ordered a size 9 and should have ordered a size 5. I usually wear anywhere from size 5-9 in fashion nova depending on the stretch. The jeans are a little darker in person and pretty stretchy and probably loosen up throughout the day. Due to getting them on sale I can not return and that’s honestly the only reason I’m upset. I’m 5ft & 137lbs for reference. Also can only wear with long heels or boots because they are long.
