Fabulous jeans, especially if you're curvy
I finally did the dreaded jeans search and luckily found these! I normally wear a size 6 but pretty much all jeans gap on me in the back waist because I'm curvy and the waist is never small enough for my hip size. But no gap with these--hooray! The size 6 in these jeans gives a "tight" look (which I usually don't choose) but in these jeans it's fabulous because you get a comfy "girdle" in effect--good to hold in the tummy and firm up the thighs without all that control being obvious. And amazingly, the fabric is soft enough that you don't feel like you're confined. The high rise gives good control to promote a flat stomach. Also, the gentle flare of the boot cut gives a nice soft line that's much more flattering to me than straight "skinny" jeans. The Size 6 short looked like a good length in the dressing room (I'm 5'4")--longer than most "short" sizes, which was nice, but I chose the "regular". This is too long unless I'm wearing at least medium heels, but I'm expecting some shrinkage in length after washing and if it doesn't shrink, I'll just hem them after a few washes. I bought both the black and navy--very nice fabrics. If you're buying these online, be sure to click on the photo that shows the back pockets--some have a classic stitch patterns others have tiny square studs in a V-shape. Both are quite pretty in person.

Great jeans, comfortable and fit well! Have washed them several times and still fit great!
Great looking jeans
These jeans run really small. I have never bought this brand, usually wear NYDJ but thought I would give them a try since they were on sale at a great price. I ordered my regular slacks size and they would not button at the waist. I sent them back and have ordered a size larger, hopefully they will work. I love the look and quality of the jeans, good quality denim.

Great fit, true to size, right length. Not sure how it will come out from washer.
Different from other Levi's jeans
I do like the jeans. As other have said before, they do run small. So, if you are a Ralph Lauren jeans wearer, go larger for these. Otherwise, they should fit just a little tighter after the initial wash.
Almost perfect
Love these jeans. Black enough to dress up -- even for work. My only issue is at 5'3" the short is a little too short and the regular was way too long. Don't think the short listed at 30" length is really a true 30". I kept them and will obviously only wear with flats. They really do slim and are comfortable!
Could not wear my size!
These jeans run small. While they are certainly long enough, I am a bit curvy so I was unable to even get them all the way on, and they were the correct size. So, I had to return them.
Love these jeans
I love my black 512's. They have just the right amount of stretch for comfort and look amazing! I am tall so finding jeans that I can wear with heels is a challange usually but the longs do the job. Do yourself a favor and hang dry them so that the jean retains its perfect fit.
