For reference, I am 5'8" and weigh 130 lbs. I normally wear a 4, but I ordered a size 6 after reading the other reviews. They fit like a 4 instead of the 6, so definitely size up. The worst part about these pants was the length: They were too short. Would probably work for someone who was 5'4" or shorter. The material was lightweight, which I was looking for. Others thought they were a low rise. I'd call them mid-rise. Overall, they just didn't work. I sent them back.See full review
