I am aobut 5’6 and 132 lbs. have a defined waist and full bootie and thighs. I always have the gap problem! The mid rise jeans fit best but aren’t as fashionable. The best low rise ones I have found are Levi “Too Superlow”. I have the skinny destressed jeans. Order a size smaller than what you think you need if you have my body type. I couldn’t believe how well they fit! I am a womans sz 6 and jr size 7 and sometimes 9. These jeans come in jr sizes only. The 5’s fit me much better than the 7’s. So be sure to order a size smaller because they stretch and also hold everything in well!

I also want to recommend the company indiDenim…they provide great service and their custom jeans come out great!

Try AG (Adriano Goldschmied) jeans… the Legend cut.

I would try the Invisibelt. My friend suggested it to me because I was complaining about the gap in the back of my jeans and how they were always sliding down on me. Check it out. https://www.invisibelt.com/

I still haven’t been able to find a pair of jeans that aren’t “mom jeans” in a while. 5’5.5”, 220 lbs, 39 waist, 52 hip, 32 thigh. Short-waisted and need a 32” inseam unless I want to look like I’m wearing cropped jeans from 2002 or so.
Style & co. seem to be the only brand that fits my waist/hip ratio, but they’re not so stylish…

This is a problem that doesn’t seem to go away. Let’s face it, the low rise (not ulta low) are typically more flattering. My sister found a product which helps out in alot of casual situations - it’s called the hip-T. Basically it’s the lower half of a t-shirt which goes on over your jeans and under your t-shirt. It covers the “continental divide” and give a fun layered look. It’s comfortable and also conceals the over the waistband flesh spillage you see walking about the streets. I hope the maker comes out with some fun and funky dressier hip-T’s for the holiday’s and winter. Good way to keep the chill out during a cold snap! Thought I’d pass my find along. cm

I never understand the pull for the GAP. Their jeans have never fit my curves, and the “curvy fit” are really mom jeans. I used to joke that the GAP is about the GAP created at the derriere. I’m not a brand shopper or do not have lots of money to invest in jeans. I used to wear Levi’s until I became more womanly. Currently I love my Arizona jeans from JCPenney. They have this fabric that has some stretch but are not like tights and do not have those giveaway lines that I’m wearing slightly stretchy jeans. Plus they fit real nice, not like Express with a one inch zipper and definitely not your mom’s jeans. FYI, I love to hike, ride horses, basically wear jeans for what they are meant to be worn for and these jeans last for a few years for all the abuse they are supposed to weather.

I am also commenting on the advertising comment. I do buy True Religion and Paige jeans because the do look a lot better on my figure than any other jeans I have tried and I have tried them all. I am 5’6” and weigh about 108 and have absolutely no rear end. Those two brands of jeans actually make my rear end not look quite so flat because of the back pockets. The difference is truly amazing. I’m from a really small town and no one even knows the difference between a pair of 20 or a pair of 200 dollar jeans. So no, I am not buying them for the name! If they made jeans like those for less I would buy them.

I’ve ordered two pairs of jeans from makeyourownjeans.com and I’m never going back to off of the rack. There was tiny gap in the back waist and a bit of looseness in the belly in my first pair of jeans, but with corrections, the second pair just arrived with a PERFECT fit. On top of that it was only two weeks between me placing the order and having my jeans in hand.

I have a very hard to fit body: small waist, wide but flat behind, no belly and very large thighs. But they figured it out.

I basically told them exactly what I wanted and they made them. (low-waist wide-legged jeans) It was like designing my own pair of jeans for $45 plus shipping. Now that I have the fit down, I’m going to order a couple more pairs in different denims and cuts.

Gap curvy jeans’ dimensions actually aren’t any “curvier”... they just have a wider/more re-enforced waistband. The thigh section is noticeably tighther on me than their original fit jeans, in fact.

Since we are on the subject of jeans…I am a very tall 23 year old girl. I am 6’1” and as an African American girl I have curves (small waist and wider hips). My question is where can I find jeans that are fashionable and will fit me in length or inseam - I need a 37” inseam and am usually a size 8. Please help!

Actually, if the jeans fit everywhere BUT the waist, it is possible to have them taken in. My tailor sewed 2 darts (one above each back pocket) going from the top of the pocket to the waist, and was able to take in a pair of jeans by 4 inches at the waist without altering the hips. She also charged me less then $10 for this procedure—less than what it costs to have a pair of pants hemmed. The final result is pretty subtle. I mean, if you REALLY stare, you can tell that it’s been altered. But then again, I usually make sure that no one is starting THAT closely at…errr…my back pockets.

I second Banana Republic… I just bought a pair on sale for $20 yesterday and their waist/hip ratio works well for me. I’m tall though, and they are cut long, so they may not work for petites.

I think the problem with “Designer” jeans, even ones that are not super low-rise, is that many are cut small in the rear - I cannot wear them without fear of mooning people when I sit down. they only fit well as long as I’m standing up!

I recently found jeans that I love, at Costco…which I know sounds terrifying. They are Lucky Brand jeans in the Mid Rise Flare cut, and sell at the wholesaler for $40. The fit me so much better than any other jeans I’ve purchased recently(which includes jeans from Gap and Express) and do not require a belt to curb that icky butt gap. I checked the Lucky website and couldn’t find anything, but I figured that some of you all must have a Costco membership. The only drawback is that you can’t try them on in the store, but Costco does have the best return policy.
