First let me say that I LOVE Levi's and these are no exception. They are great for us curvy gals with fuller hips and smaller waists. The fit is terrific (they don't gap at the back like so many other jeans do) and they wash up nicely with minimal shrinkage. Also, I am on the tall side (5'7") and many "average" jeans are too short for me. Not these - they are the perfect length. I love that they come in so many colors (I bought the Sky color, which I really like) and I will definitely be ordering another pair in a different color. I am very pleased!
