I, like most people struggle with finding the perfect pair of jeans, but these have been a great purchase! I like my jeans a little snug since they tend to get a little loose throughout the day. I'm also not a "curvy in the right places girl" so I have trouble with jeans staying up due to the lack of hips. They give me a little booty lift though. I'm 5'4 and roughly 185lbs with a wide mid section for reference.
