Just got my order from Victorias Secret. I was really hesitant to order these pants (I have long legs) but they are amazing. The fit is perfect and they are so cute on. I'll post a picture when I wear them, but I think they will be a definite favorite. The price was great too, $39.50 and they come in petite, regular and tall.
I would say yes. I am a pretty regular size 8, and I ordered the 8's. I did not want them tight, but they are fitted in just the right places and the waist has a drawstring/zipper. The legs are full but not huge and the pockets in back are at a nice, flattering level. Low waist, but not super-low.
