I was surprised how nicely these jeans fit in the hips and thighs.  They do make you look slimmer.

But ...

I'm not exactly tall ... and these jeans don't exactly say the length.  They are about 5-6 inches too long for my short 5'3" legs.  :)  I'm taking them to be hemmed, because you just don't find jeans that fit like these easily.  You all know the challenge!
