I just bought thesee jeans . They are the perfect slimming jean . Run true to size . I purchased 16s because I am 5ft . 3 1/3 inches.  These jeans will take a few pounds off your appearance.  They are slimming.  They taper down to the ankle . The waist band falls just below the belly button.  The waist band does not cause a muffin top . Flattens the stomach.  Looks great both front and back . The jean fabric is not heavy like some jeans . A really nice weight  . I am delighted with this jean . Honestly,  you don't have to wonder about this slimming jean .
