These jeans are a size 30 and I am usually a 28/29 and they were still tight. I got 2 1/2 inches taken off the bottom because my legs are short (inseam about 28inches usually and these jeans were at least 32). The crotch seams were really unstable in my opinion so I added a precautionary thread in the crotch because I didn’t want to rip my pants at the function. (Im not great at sewing, but it did the job) In short: there are a lot of alterations and size issues with these pants but the star on the butt sure is cute
