These jeans are fabulous! I bought a pair one size up based on a review saying that they run really small. I don't think they run small at all. The first pair I bought in a 29 even though I would normally buy a 28. They are definitely large on me....still cute and look nice for certain outfits, but they are big. They cut is so good, though, that even a little big they fit very nicely. Then I bought a 28 and they fit perfectly - very fitted but in no way tight or binding. The rise is just right and there is no gapping on either pair. If these jeans are still available in your size, I would snatch a pair up quickly! Amazing pair of jeans for this price!!
