I am so disappointed in the declining quality of Levi jeans. I have worn the 529 Curvy's for several years, and noticed the quality of the material varies depending on which country they were made in. This last pair was made in China, and the fabric was noticeably thinner than my last ones which were made in Mexico. Also the stitching just looked weird. I can't put my finger on it, but something was just off. And the fit was off. Seems they took the curve out of the curvy jeans. They would probably fit fine if you are built like a man. On the upside, Amazon was great about accepting the return and promptly refunding my money.
