I got my normal size, which is a 9. I’m about 156-159 and I am 5’2. These were like high waters on me, super short you will have to fold them so they don’t look funny. The waist is a little big on the back there is a gap and it is not high waisted! I would consider this a mid rise, which was disappointing as this was described as a high waist. I have a small waist, big bottom and decent size thighs so I need for some ants to be high waisted for it to fit my waist. I’ll need to wear a belt or a body suit for this to be comfortable, other wise I’ll be worried that my underwear will be showing. Disappointing. If it wasn’t final sale I would have probably just returned it

Nice and comfy. I wish it was a little longer.
