I was on Amazon looking for my next pair of 7 for allmankind jeans & I happen to stumble across these Mother jeans, which I have NEVER heard of before. I was looking for a pair of high-waisted jeans, light wash for the spring/summer. I think I've found them!! :) I ordered my original size as I do in my 7 jeans which is a size 28, only for them to arrive very tight on the waist... so I sent them back and ordered a size 29, and they fit perfect. So, it depends.. if you order these anticipate going up one size.. I'm 5'4 & 133lbs (fyi)The price of these are comparable to my 7 jeans or Hudson jeans, so the price wasn't sticker shock for me. I REALLY, REALLY, like the fit of these.. one of the CONS is that they don't have much of a stretch, but i'll do an update after I have worn these all day. I bought them in February, I plan to wear them as soon as it gets warmer here in Virginia. I'm not a huge fan of ripped jeans, because there are some being sold that looks ridiculous, but these aren't too bad and if you dress them with some heels, a cami & blazer.. they can look pretty decent. :)
