I have a very pear shaped figure and therefore have problems finding jeans that fit my butt while not gaping at the waistband. I hate the new skinny jeans that are so much stretch material that they don't even feel like jeans anymore but more like jeggings. The new jegging type jeans show every dimple and hug curves in an indecent way.  The DL1961 Curvy jeans actually feel like jeans material while still having a good amount of stretch. The material is substantial enough to hide flaws. They fit like skinny jeans without being indecent. They have no gaping at the waistband.  I can bend over without making a plumber-like scene, but they aren't so high waisted that they look grannie-like at all. The leg length is very long, but I can get them hemmed.  They fit great and are very flattering to a curvy girl.
