E.S.
Levi's "slightly below the waist" style works for me. In general, I don't really like jeans. I feel uptight in them! Give me Khakis anyday!
I am a short (5'2") girl...size 6-8 with a bigger backside (my butt has curves). Also have a bit of muffin top (thanks to 4 kids and a few months of not working out :( .
I need jeans that when I bend over or stand up for that matter....do NOT show my crack! I don't want super high waisted jeans either. And they can't have too much stretch in them because by the end of the day they will be falling off!
HELP! Anyone have favorite jeans that actually fit??
Thanks everyone.....so I think I will be heading to the Levi outlet this weekend to get a pair..and off to the mall to try on the other suggestions!! Tthen maybe the motivation of a little more expensive (but obviously worth it) jeans will be when I lose a few pounds....its not like I'll need a lot of jeans in the summer.

I'm not the same shape as you, but I do love Levi's. I've noticed they have all kinds of shapes and sizes. (They have a few "curvy" styles in all sizes. That might work well for you.) Levi's are pretty much the only jeans I can find that work for me.
Lucky Brand is best for me, good fit, full coverage of the midsection without being too high.
If I could have found my length, I would have bought Ann Taylor curvy style jeans this weekend.

They do not go by typical sizes... meaning 5,7,9 or 2 4 6. They use european sizing which lets you pic your waist as well as your length and their jeans have so many different designs. They cover curvy to thin w/o a single curve.
Try the BKE Sabrina style. They cost a good bit, but they DO last for years and look just as good as the day you paid for them. Plus if you go in the store and try some on, you can find your style, then go to their website and they have 'factory second' jeans for way discounted.
Just FYI hope it helps

Joe's Jeans makes one called, the Honey fit.. it's for curves.. You ll pay up for the jeans but not only do they last longer than most, they don't fade...
Also for less expensive.. Old Navy makes the Sweetheart.. and some other styles. not all are super low either. I definitely like their jeans.. but Joe's stands up a little better. I think it depends upon one's budget.. I have worn Joe's Jeans for years and always got compliments on them, Also, I have worn J Crew styles. For example, the boot cut... it's a dark wash and good for when you don't want a skinny jean or bell bottom.. it's in between... you have to buy the"short" cut otherwise, they can run a bit high in the waist.. again, if you buy short, then the inseam is smaller...
good luck to you

Those are all great jeans! Expensive but they last! and fit great :)
I have the same shape and Lucky Brand always fit best. I usually wait for their 50% off sales twice a year :)
With jeans, you get what you pay for.
I would suggest going to a Macy's, Nordstrom's, etc... and going into the designer jeans aisle. Try on different styles of several different brands and see what you like.
2 pairs of nice designer jeans will last you for YEARS.
I have 3 pairs of Seven's (amongst others), and they are at least 4 years old with no sign of wear.
I can 100% say no pair of Gap or Express jeans I've ever had has lasted and kept their shape that well.
I just got a pair at Chicos that does have stretch, but tight stretch. I got them 1/2 size smaller than I usually wear and I can wear them 4 days before they start to sag. The first two days I need to wear a longer top though because they are pretty form fitting. The waist is just below my belly button.
I second the 7 jeans... also Big Stars are good but pricey ($140 or so a pair)
Not Your Daughter's Jeans.
I got mine at Nordstrom Rack but have also seen them at T.J.Maxx. LOVE them! Stylish but not "trying to look like a teenager" stylish, great wear, excellent fit.
Another vote for Levi's! The "Curve ID" style has different shapes specific to body style and they are FANTASTIC for me. I am relatively small (size 4), have a small waist and a bubble but and thick thighs. The "bold curve" is amazing! comes back in at the waist and doesn't gap! You can choose the curve id based on what is normally the PROBLEM with jeans. (For me, gaping at the back, so I wear "bold"... if you get muffin top, there's a different curve style)
Anyway, best of luck.
