Finally!

After months spent in pursuit of the elusive dream wide legs for a short curvy petite, I finally found them! I did find that these ran big - originally purchased a 12 petite which is my normal size and had to return for a 10 petite (so glad they were available at the time!) I have a tummy, wide hips, and thick thighs and these are super flattering. The material is soft and after sizing down, I don’t feel like they stretched out too much. Absolutely love these so if you’re looking for a pair of high waisted wide leg jeans, I highly recommend these.

Run large and stretch out with wear

I’m a solid 12. The 12 was too large so I returned and ordered a 10. Size 10 was good for about an hour. They stretched out so much that it was ridiculous. Going back.

Wonder pants, thicker version run smaller

I love the fit of these jeans for my body type. I am a pear shape, usually a size 8-10 (m) 5’4”. The thicker material (fall/winter line) fits tighter than the spring line. I purchased the Whitney in 8-due to my height they hit my ankles, and the Sam in 8 (too small around the waist/hip). For now I will reorder and get the 10, which was slightly large on me. The size difference between 8 & 10(for me) seemed like it was 2 sizes smaller, If u r smaller in hips normal sizes might work (I'm still loosing weight)!

good jeans, but runs large

These run larger than my other W& W jeans. I need to size down from what I normally wear.

Not worth the hassle

Been looking for full length jeans longer than 30" inseam so I was delighted to find these. But unfortunately, these jeans looked good for ten minutes but then stretched out so much. I can't belt them enough to be comfortable or look good. I saw the reviews saying they run big and to size down, which I did. But even in a size down, the stretched out waist and hips look baggy and sloppy. Too bad, too. They are cute jeans that feel soft with good shape. Before they stretch out too much. I'll be returning.

I have searched for a Jean that fits nicely, feels awesome and is flattering on a more mature curvy lady, and this is IT! Do yourself a favor and try my favorite Jean!

My Favorite Jeans

I love these jeans. They are perfect for a curvy figure. I like how the straight leg flows into the wide bottom. They are on the long side for a 29 inch inseam, so I did have to hem them. The button closure has improved from an older pair that I bought in black. The fabric density is just heavy enough for a cooler day. The stretch is an added plus. Way to go Nordstrom!
