love these
I usually wear a 25P or 26P in Mother jeans, I own 8 pairs. I ordered the 26P and 27P. The 26P fit, but I felt more comfortable in the 27P. Run slightly small compared to my other Mother jeans.

great color and style runs tiny
Love the denim, the stretch, but it’s so small I barely was able to zip up the jean and it runs short as well. Very short !!!
I’m 5’2 and 126lbs. Usually wear a size 25.
Will def return 26P and try 28P

Cute Size Up
I agree with the reviews that said to size up 1-2 sizes. I sized up once but probably would have preferred the fit if I sized up twice. There is stretch to them. Great length. I’m 5’1”.

Runs small
These run so small I wonder if the manufacturer messed up the sizing. The price is not but the frustration of trying to figure out what size to order isn’t worth it. I expect better consistency from Mother jeans.

Run very small!
Goodness gracious these run small. I usually wear a 24P in Mother jeans. Ordered a 25P and could barely zip them. Returned that size and ordered the 26P and they were still too small. I returned those and ordered another style of Lil Mothers in my normal 24 P and they fit like a dream!

PERFECT for smaller petite women and girls
True to size. They aren’t the new sizings that run a few sizes larger like all clothing in todays day and age. Real 90’s to early Y2K sizing. I LOVE these. I have never found a more perfecting fitting pair of jeans. I always have the hardest time finding clothing that fits and I often have to refer to the children’s section. But not these. I have always cherished Mothers denim but they never carried good petite sizing in the stores. I’m so glad my local Nordstrom (Fashion Square) started adding more petite clothing. I almost gave up on Nordstrom but I’m so glad I gave them another chance and found these! I am 5’1” and generally between 100-105 Ibs and my pant inseam is 26”. I bought the size 26 and they fit perfectly. They kind of fit like the juniors section with a more mature style. Exactly what I need for work. They are high waisted but I sort of wish they were a little higher waisted. In my opinion they are more of like a mid high waist and sit below the belly button. They are also like a stretchy spandex denim and not the hard cotton feeling. They are not super boot cut either. More of like a straight leg with a minor delicate outward flare. I think I finally found my favorite pair of jeans for the first time ever. They’re really expensive but the best investment ever. Love these! So happy that Nordstrom is adding more petite stuff!
