I always have trouble when buying jeans... smaller waist and larger hips... I just knew these were not going to fit me... to my surprise they do fit me to a tee... better than some pants I have had made custom... thank you Levi's for making this style for us curvy gals.. waist fits great, length is perfect as I am tall, so I am going to order another couple of pairs since things I like tend to disappear. Love my new jeans!!
