I tried the jeans on and they fit perfectly. They have a long enough length, which I always look for, I like my jeans to drag on the floor a little. I am 5'5" and 142 lbs. Most of my weight is carried in my belly, not my butt, so the size 7 fit great. If you carry a little more weight in the butt section, a size 9 would work better. They are a little tight around my belly (my fault, not the pants) but everywhere else fit beautiful and look great. They give you a nice shape. The cotton blend is not too heavy, not too light, a nice medium weight. Will definately order again. I like to leave height and weight and size I ordered for future buyers. I have always found that to be the most helpful when reviewing clothes to buy.
