I could not wait to try these jeans on. Opening the package, the MB jeans feel heavy. Trying them on, at first a little snug for my barely 5'1" 208 lbs frame. The jeans hugged my hips, butt, thighs and stomach, not tight, just a little snug. After wearing them for about 5 minutes, they began to feel better. They are comfortable and made my butt look even better. The mid-rise actually fit over my belly button and the length of the jeans are long for a short person like me. Since I am wearing wedge shoes with the jeans, that will help with the length. Overall, I like these jeans and will buy them on sale, not at the $[...] price. Thank you AMAZON for having good prices. I purchased size 18 in the samantha bootcut, which look good. I do think if I weighed more than 210 at my height, I would have a problem with them being tight. Also, I will not dry these after I wash them, so that they can last longer.
