These were not for me. For comparison, I typically wear an 18 or 20 in Lane Bryant jeans. Same with Lee. The 20's are usually a bit big in the waist, perfect in the legs. I bought these Levi's in a 20 and they were stupid tight. All over wrong. Tight in the thighs, butt, waist. They went back immediately. Not a solid option for the curvy woman. Seek other brands like Angels Jeans, LB, or Lee.
