Although I had gained weight, if your tummy isn't flat, these will not be flattering on you.  They lack both the stretch and support for the mid-section for those who are overweight.  They are perfect for those who aren't overweight in the stomach, but rather thicker in the hips, thighs, or calves.  For those with round tummies, especially with the lower abdomen being more swollen than usual, you'll need a jean with more tummy support.  When i was thinner and more fit, however, these were really great jeans for the price.  This style works great for 30s and up.
