I've always been in between/needed a range sizes with clothing as far back as I can remember and the moment I tried these on in the store I was sold. I've read most of the reviews here and realised that women still have this ridiculous notion that RTW clothing should fit them perfectly...ain't gonna happen unless you are the exact measurements used in the brand sizing. If you want clothes tailor made to your every curve, go learn to sew/hire some one to do it; back to the jeans.
I still have some fit issues with them as I am 5"1' with a 33" waist and 42" hips but the pros far outweigh the cons.

Pros
-Higher waist in the back, lower waist in the front: With the back being higher I have no gaps/less of a gap and no chance of flashing my crack
-Roomy around the hips: Need I say more
-Shorter rise: I've petite so this work very well in my favour
-Good fit around thigh: I have large inner thighs and muscular outer/front thigh and these were not too tight or restricting. If I lost about 2 inches off my thighs the fit would be great but that's a personal issue not a problem of the manufacturer.

Cons
-Too long inseam: As I said I'm 5"1' so anything that isn't a petite inseam will be too long for me but I have to say it isn't as long as the other regular fit pants.... Considering the better fit I have with these jeans, I'll live with a too long inseam

I do recommend that you ladies fit these in a store before buying online. A size 10 in a Levis may not be a 10 in Lee's and remember nothing in RTW is without it's problems; I tried on 3 different jeans in the same brand (not Levis) over the weekend and though the same size the one I bought had a looser fit than the other two even though they were all the same fit/cut.
