Lucky Sweet n' Low jeans are the best! They are a mid-rise style. Only prob is they stretch so you may have to buy a size down.

I am short w/ a small waist and big hips. The low-waisted jeans just ride up around my waist when I sit down. Talk about uncomfortable!

I take pretty much all of my pants to get the waist taken in a bit. It adds another $20-30 to the price of your pants but it's worth it.
