I am pear shaped and normally have gaping waists on my jeans.  These fit wonderfully.  The flat, no-zipper front not only holds in my stomach, but it doesn't add bulk in an area that I REALLY don't need any additional circumference.  I have been wearing these jeans for for nearly a year and love the way they fit and feel.

My size has changed and I offered some of my old Jag Peri jeans to my daughter.  Her apple shape is quite different than mine.  She commented on how great they fit and how she was happy to finally find jeans that fit her waste but not sag at the butt.  A friend who is slim all over also tried these and now wears them nearly every day.

I was also at a shop and saw a woman whose sits on her biggest dressing challenge very happy with the way these fit.  So, whether your weight is in your belly, waist or butt, these just might be the jeans for you.

One thing to keep in mind is that the sizes run big.  Check the Jag web site before you order.  If you try them on and they feel good, go down one size.  I thought I got the right size in my first pair but they started to feel baggy after a few hours.  Once I downsized they felt great.

Also note that these are the petite jeans, which run smaller than the regular jeans.  The hip and waist sizing for petites is about a half size smaller than for the regular size.
