These are the best fitting jeans I have ever bought. I just hope Levi keeps making them. I fluctuate in size during the month so I got a a 12 and a 14. After washing the 14 and putting them in the dryer. They fit very close to the 12 at first but loosen up as the day goes on. I am a curvy woman and these jeans fit wonderfully around my hips, lower abdomen and thighs. Other curvy jeans either fit one place or the other, never all three places. There is just the right amount of stretch that I don't look like I am wearing spandex pants. I am able to tuck in a tee shirt and still look good. They last a long time too.
