I have a small waist and larger hips. The only jeans that fit me like a glove with NO gapping at the back of the waist, and just hug me all around the waist perfectly are the 'Jones (of) New York Signature jeans'. I don't know who's the designer that designed those jeans, but he or she is someone who really really really really has figured out a women't butt! LOL The waist is perfect, the legs are perfect (not too tight, not baggy), and there is just enough strechy fibers in there to give, yet, they have the look and feel of just regular jeans jeans, like good old Levis, Lee, Lois, etc. The color is right too. Some of those 'stretchy' jeans are the wrong color/texture. If I had to have just one pair of jeans, that would be the one. I love ridding with them when I commute because they are not rough on the knees. I find them at La Baie (in Canada). I don't know who would carry them in the US. Maybe the Jones of New York website would have that information.
