You've impeccably typed out my thoughts, and my same body type actually. You're talking some sense into me. These jeans do fuckin rule. The discolored tag got my panties in a bunch. They're still a bit twisted up, but not as much. :)

If this post didn't dissuade you, give the Breezy Britt a try. They're a curvy fit without being *called* a curvy fit. No back waist gap at all!! Only downside is that return shipping is $20. I got lucky and managed to try them when I was in NYC last week. They didn't have my hem length, so I ordered online when I got home. They're on sale for $140 right now!
