As with most women I have a terrible time finding jeans that fit AND look great and these do both.  I am as some would say, a pear shaped gal of an average weight and so finding jeans that are full enough in the hip and thigh is near to impossible in this age of "the skinney jean" unless you go for a boxy fit, these jeans hug my curves without being tight or cliny anywhere.  Also I have short legs and usually have to shop in petits for pants but these fit great with enough length that I can wear them with a slight heel or rolled up with my boots.  Love, love, love these jeans!  I have them in the darker blue rinse (blue wave?) and they look very modern and up to date, not your mom's jeans.
