These jeans have alot of stretch to them making them very comfy. One thing I do not like is that they are VERY high waisted. They are above my belly button. However because of the large amount of stretch in them I'm actually able to fold down the waistband across the top all the way to the back and it lays flat and actually provides even more support to my abdominal area. I wish I could actually tack it down this way however then I would not be able to button the top buttons. Also they are quite short. I am 5'5" tall and they only barely reach my ankles! Will have to wear with boots or high heels to look right. So I'm not 100% happy with them and am actually still debating whether to keep or return them??
