These jeans fit perfectly, and are soft and stretchy and didn't turn the rest of my laundry black when I washed them in cold water. I am 5'2'' and I bought them in size 25. They need to be hemmed which is normal. I usually by ankle length jeans which them fit me as regular jeans.The color is inky black, so they almost look like leggings. I've tried black jeans before but it's hard to find the perfect black(crazy as that sounds). These jeans are just perfect. They sit few inches below my belly button and cover all that needs covering in the back. These are mom jeans while still being hip. And they are by far the most comfortable jeans I own, and just about the only brand I ever buy now.Very dressy, while still being comfortable. I'd like to start handing out flyers for these jeans whenever I see someone out in public in flannel pajamas(the airport was the last time and it was a middle aged woman, yikes!). Be comfortable but look pulled together.
