These jeans fit very well and the tummy panel works if you can get the zipper up.  They are very tight around the waist and tummy, which I guess is why it is slimming, but once I get them up and zipped they are great and fit nice and tight.  The legs are straight but not baggy.  I prefer the 505 jeans which I can get in the L length but these are okay at the M length as long as I am wearing boots.  I got a 10M and I usually wear an 8L (5'6", 160 lbs.).
