These are the most amazing jeans I have purchased in a very long while! They are well-made and feel like "real denim". I was hesitant to order them, having never ordered jeans by waste size before. Fortunately I decided to research the conversions for waist size vs. number size instead of going with my actual waist measurements. I have recently purchased the Levi's Bold Cut Curve ID jeans and liked them, but these I love! The waist is a little lower and the thigh area a little more snug than the Bold Cut Curve ID. I am a size 8 or 10, with a very "hourglass" figure, and the size 29X32 fit perfect. The length of the Glory Blues color, the color I ordered, is longer than 32 inches. Almost too long for tennis shoes, but perfect for heals. My only complaint is that I wish they had them in more colors!
