I read all the reviews, but still was a bit afraid to purchase these. Once I received them I was very pleased. These jeans remind me of. " The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants". Even though we are all different shapes the size 15 still seem to fit many of us. I have quite a few pairs of jean bell bottoms and these are the most comfortable. I'm 5'7" and can still wear 3 or 4" wedges or boots. I have a big booty and a smaller waist and they fit perfectly.
