i need a jean to fit my odd shape body.i am 5′6 ,110 lbs.my tush is flat and my legs are long and thin (tooth picks).any suggestions?
I am short waisted and have long thin legs (sometimes to thin for my hips, which makes hips look wider and legs look skinnier) I have a wide waist but not really a pot belly. I want to look decent in jeans, but usually choose something else, because I really don’t look very good in most jeans. If they fit my waist without a muffin top then the butt is baggy…HELP! Is there a jean that would fit me correct??
I still swear by Levis 501 button flys. I am an apple and Levis are nice and snug on the butt and legs but have a drop waist which leaves me a little extra room in the waist.
I need jeans to flatten my stomach,and fit good on my inner thighs…and make me look taller since i am only 5ft tall. and help my butt to look lifted and narrow.
I know Iam asking for a miracle. thank you Jean Fairy:)

If you ever get the opportunity to try Jag jeans, do so!! I know Nordstrom’s sells them. Other than that they’re very hard to find. I live in them. Just the right amount of stretch.
Please help me! I’m a teenager and I need some advice. I have a teeny waist and an average sized butt and my hips are wide giving me cool curves. Can you tell me what jeans would suit me best? I am 156cm. Please help
I don’t think any of the jeans you chose for your models look that great on them.
It seems like they’re trying to be too trendy and not really focusing on their body type. So, I don’t think I’d go for any of the styles on this page where I to have the same body type.
The advice sounds good, the pictures not so much.
