I got these to wear on casual Fridays at work, but I've worn them with a body suit to run errands as well & I've gotten a ton of compliments. I ordered a size 5, but could have gone down a size. I'd say they are true to size - I've just lost a lot of weight so wasn't sure of mine but now know I am a 3. For reference, I am 5'10" & 127lbs, so these pants are tall girl friendly!
