I'm about 5'1" and about 113 pounds, short-waisted, and most of my weight is in my hips and thighs (a true "pear").  I always have trouble finding bottoms that fit my hips and thighs without being huge in the waist.  These jeans (I ordered a size 6) fit perfectly.

Normally, I shop in the petite department, but aside from the hem length, these jeans are properly proportioned for me.  I rolled the dice that having them shortened wouldn't look weird, and they don't.  After a few washes, the fresh hem is unnoticeable.

I would have given these jeans 5 stars (instead of 4) if only:

(1)  They offered them in a true dark wash without the supposedly stylish fading and slight whiskering...for us curvy types, I think that would be much more flattering, and it looks a little dressier/classier;

(2)  These jeans tend to shrink-stretch more than average.  When they come out of the dryer, they're almost a little tight (require a bit of shimmying to get into), then stretch out over the course of the day.  They're really comfortable, but stretch out just a tad much for my taste; and

(3)  They offered these jeans in more of a straight leg, falling from above the knee (without the narrowing at the knee that the boot cut has and without tapering at the ankle).

These are, however, the best fitting jeans I've ever owned.  Even after putting on 5-7 pounds over the last year (ugh!), they're flattering and (I think) hide the extra poundage well.
