I have SO MUCH trouble finding jeans that fit. I'm 5'2" (or 5'1", depending on the doctor I see), and my weight fluctuates between 135 and 145 lbs., so finding jeans that fit well is a bane of my existence. Plus, I love jeans that stretch, and it's hard to find jeans that stretch but that also look nice and not like "mom jeans." Plus, sometimes they simply don't stretch enough. I confess, I wasn't too thrilled with the style of these jeans when I saw them on Amazon, but they were within my price range, I used to wear Wranglers when I was in high school with no problem, and I could actually get them in an 8 Petite (I've learned the hard way that, when you're short, you MUST order pants in a Petite, or they will ALWAYS be too long). I just got these yesterday, and I am in love! They hug my curves wonderfully without feeling tight at all - in fact, the waist band actually felt a little loose. And they stretch wonderfully! I immediately threw them in the wash so I could wear them as soon as possible. I am in love with these jeans and am so glad I don't have to spend another summer wearing maternity jeans from three years ago because they are the only jeans I have that fit. (That tummy panel becomes incredibly uncomfortable and sweaty in hot weather!) When the day comes in the way-off future that I need another pair of jeans (I tend to wear the same pair for years), I will definitely be looking these bad boys up again. Great jeans - thanks, Wrangler!
