These Lee Jeans are my very favorite of all!  VERY soft and comfortable and the fit is perfect, even if you go out to dinner and have dessert -- if you know what I mean ;)  I bought a size 16 short and I have to say these are the only jeans that buying "short" fits me perfect!!  Normally, buying a "short" size they are too short for my 5' 1" body.  I'm thick in the middle and these jeans don't dig in when you sit down.  They work for this 53 year old body......and they are jeans not pull up stretch pants, that some older women wear.  I would say these jeans actually make me look thinner than I am.  I have ordered these MANY times in the Dark and light colors.  I love that I just have to go to my past orders in Amazon and not have to go to a store and hunt for the jeans I know I like.  I have washed these many times and they hold their shape well.  Just like an jeans they fit snug right out of the dryer and loosen up after you wear them.  The straight legs are perfect to wear with boot.....they aren't tight at all.
