Ordered these jeans for a cowboy denim crab feast. After reading the reviews, I decided to go down a size which I'm glad that I did. They have a lot of stretch with even ordering the 9 I still have room but they still snug just the way that I need them too. I do not recommend going down two sizes as I'm sure the wash/ dry fit will hug even more. I am about 5'5 with no shoes on the flare/ pants are very long, but I plan on wearing a boot with low heel and think they'll be perfect length. ORDER THE JEANS already and enjoy!!!
