They ate true to size with a moderate amount of stretch! The color to me looks like a vintage deep teal blue wash that l absolutely fell in love with and the denim is not to thick but it's a good quality material. They hug the curves, nooks and crannies just right only thing is that they are extra long, I'll have to hem off at least 5 inches because I'm only 5'3. I'm 198lb 39in waist 49in hips!
