I have a terrible time finding pants that fit right. I'm very curvy but I don't like the waist of the pants so high I feel like they are at my throat, or showing half my underwear when I sit down. I'm 5'3" but petite jeans are barely at my heels and then they shrink up to my ankles after I wash them. These curvy fit short jeans are the best I've found in a long time! The waist has some stretch so I can get a snug fit but still have breathing room when I sit. They were a little long when they arrived, but I washed them and they did shrink up a little so now the length is just right. I'll be buying more of these.
