Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To give you an idea on sizing: I am 5'4", about 165, pear shaped. My measurements are waist 32, hips 45 (around my bum). I'm usually a safe 10 in most skinny stretch jeans. Going by that and other reviews, I first ordered a 15 (altho in another wash, but same otherwise). They easily fit, but I was underwhelmed. They weren't as flattering as I was hoping. I noticed some gapping in the back, and the fact that I had plenty of room in the waist overall, plenty of stretch, etc., so decided to return them and try my luck on a smaller size. Took a chance and ordered an 11, 2 sizes down. Perfect fit and so much more flattering! No problem getting on or off - a bit tighter on my calves but I have big legs and they're not at all uncomfortable, just a skinnier fit. Waist is perfect, a much snugger fit overall, no pinching, no discomfort, etc. 4 stars instead of 5 because the fabric is indeed thin for the cost and I dont know yet how they'll hold up. I'll edit my review if I find that to be unsatisfactory. I'd be more likely to buy more at around $30, but we'll see.
