I laid it flat and measured across the top and it's about 14.5. Doubled up would be approximately 29", give or take. Put into consideration the rise of the pant, because this will determine where on tour hip the pants will sit. Since these are not super low, and are not junior sizing, they may fit better than you may think. They might possibly be compared to a juniors size 5, but it has a higher rise for more coverage.
