Customer Reviews Levi's® Womens Petite 525™ Perfect Waist Straight Leg

Thank you for all past reviewers who informed these run small. I normally wear a 2, but ordered a 4 and they fit perfectly. They have a hidden elastic waistband and the front panel makes my tummy look flat. I love the straight legs which looks great with my heels or my ballet flats. Overall, super figure enhancing. Love them.

Great fit. I have a larger waist, and small hips, legs. 10 p feel custom fit. Buy these...they are my favorite jeans.

Fits great, so hard to find jeans that fit so well, thanks Levi's and Zappos. Wished they were available in more interesting colors+washes and a higher quality material too.

I have 4 pair of these jeans and love every single one. I am pear shaped with a smallish waist and the perfect waist hidden elastic waistband fits wonderfully. It is snug without being too tight. Love the darker wash on these and the white stitching is nice too. Wish they came in more washes.

These are the best fitting, true to size, great looking jeans ever. I'm 5'1", 118 lbs., size 4 petite. These feel like they were custom made for me. Comfortable and very stylish. Will buy again.

I absolutely love these jeans. Who ever would have thought Levi's could be so up to date. Plus, I got them on sale. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I returned these because straight-leg jeans just don't suit me as I would like them to. That said, these are wonderful quality and have a very nice silhouette.

Nice pants, classic shape - the leg is pretty slim and narrow, but I wouldn't call them skinny jeans. The waist fits well. Good denim. Oh, and Levis fit small - I find a 4 in Levis is bordering on tight, when a 2 in other brands is often loose. I like!

It is not easy for me to find jeans that fit. These were just great. They felt comfortable as soon as I put them on. I will probably order another pair.

Love the jeans, but almost returned them because they are a little mom-jeanesque. But I rolled up the ankle cuffs, put a cute belt on & heels -- it looks very '50s Marilyn in "The Misfits!" The waist fits great but if you like your jeans to fit your curves try a size smaller than you usually order.

These are now on sale for less then when I bought them (missed the sale by one week). For the current sale pricing they are a good pair of jeans. I think the color is more faded in person than it appears online, so I can't give them 5 stars - I can happily say the petite fit perfect and I am just 5'3" so that was great.

I should have read the reviews before ordering...they run small. I will exchange for two sizes larger. I own other Levi's Petite jeans - a size 8 usually fits me well with a little room (I don't like my jeans too tight). I ordered an 8 in these but they are much too small.

I'm an 8 Short in regular Levi's but went up to a 10P for these, per the other reviews. I'm glad I did, they fit perfectly. They're just the right amount of sturdy/stretchy. Better quality than I expected.

The Zappos service was fantastic but these jeans definitely run small. I ended up with a 10 and they are still tighter than the same jeans style in an 8 regular. Next time I'll buy short but not petite.

These jeans are very comfortable and hold their shape well (no baggy butt at the end of the day!). Style wise, they are just OK, nothing special. It is super hard for me to find jeans that fit, so I am definitely keeping these!

As other reviewers have mentioned, this style runs small. I wear a 2P in other Levi's P styles and the 4P of this style is snug on me. Straight Leg in this case is almost a skinny style, definitely tapered at the bottom. Too long for me so I'll have to hem (also not the case for other Levi's P styles for me) but they are keepers. I'm hoping the elastic in the waistband means that as they wear in they don't get really sloppy-looking and stretched out up there.

I love these jeans.They fit great, look great, and feel great. I'd give them 5 stars if they were a little longer: I have short legs and need the petite size, but I'd prefer 1 more inch on these. Note that the reviews that say you have to buy these 2 sizes up are right. I usually wear a 6, but these fit me perfectly in size 10. (No idea why Levi's sizes them this way: it's not a good selling point!)

Wow, these are perfect. Waist is exactly right, slim but not painted on, no muffin top! I'm a big girl (sz14-16) with small waist, hourglass shape with big thighs and calves, but "curvy" jeans never work for me...I look and fit best by far in slim fit (go figure). It's soooo hard for me to find the right jeans, but for a casual, go-to pair these are the ones. Would like them better if the fabric were firmer/less stretch...feels a little cheap and doesn't hold shape as well as would like, but overall, a great pair of jeans. Note -- I think they run a little big...can't believe I'm in a 14P and they're close to being too big. Would have thought 14R maybe. And love the length on the petite, perfect for ultra flats to 1/2 inch heel or sneakers on weird body (5'5 inch but 28 inch inseam).

Overall, great jeans, however the do run small. I am 5'1 and about 118. Lately I'm somewhere between a 4 and 6, but these 6 are a little snug, so not as comfortable as they could be. I am picky about my jeans. I hate skinny jeans, jeans with sparkles, jeans with patterns, etc. These are nice. I ordered sky and there are some strange crease shaped- faded lines right in the front where they crease when I sit down. Strange, but not horrible.

These are nice and the waist is really comfortable. However, they run small! They fit like skinny jeans, very clingy in the butt and thighs. For reference I am 5 ft 2 1/2, 116 lb. I ordered a 6P thinking that would be large enough (I'm a 4 in most pants) but ended up exchanging for an 8P. The 8 fit almost exactly the same as the 6, which I thought was really strange. I'm going to keep the 8's (just tired of returning stuff) and hope they will stretch out with wearing.

They don't so much run small as have a tiny waistband. I've purchased these before so I knew this but the second pair was even smaller in the waist than the first. I think this style is really for those with a smaller waist than hips that have problems with a gap in the waistband. They are nice looking jeans for a great price, but I find I don't wear them because while the jeans fit me well everywhere else the band is just too tight. If I sized them up as others have recommended I think they would just be too baggy.

The design changed for these jeans. I still own the one I bought from last year and did a comparison with this new one. The new jeans is definitely an inch longer. I am returning.

I really like the wash of these jeans (Denim defense), but the inseam was too short to wear with short heels (2") for me. I am 5'2'', 120 pounds and usually take between a 26/27 (15" waist for jeans) and carry most of my weight around my thighs. The fabric is very stretchy and comfortable. I also loved the rise. I ordered a 6p , but I think that I could have gone a bit smaller with 4p because of the stretchy material. When I tried on the 6p, it did gap a bit around my waist. I think if the inseam was 30/31, it would have been perfect.
