I'm 5'2" and 115 lb. Size 26 fits fine but is noticeably looser than the same cut from Joe's but in the "Bliss" wash even though both jeans have the same 98% cotton / 2% spandex composition. For me, this is okay, since it's a distressed jean that doesn't hurt with slightly looser styling. The knee hole falls just slightly lower than the desired knee height since I'm short, but it's not enough to bother me. The behind-the-knee whiskering is extensive and noticeable (Amazon's pictures depict them well). Be aware of the raw hem (look closely at pictures)! Waist / hip area holds shape well over several days of wear. Though these jeans are not perfect, I know I can get a lot of wear out of them, and Amazon had them at an amazing price for my size.
