First of all, for everyone asking questions about what the sizes mean: I am 5 feet 6.5 inches tall, and I am chubby with a healthy ass, normally wearing a 16W - 18W in jeans. I got the 19W - 34. My inseam is just over 32.5 inches, so I was afraid to get the 32's, so I went for the longer 34-inch length. They are pretty freaking long, but if I wear a heel, they would be perfect.. As for the waist, they fit loosely. I wish I had been brave enough to go for the smaller size, but these will fit just fine with a belt.Now, for the feel of the denim... They are sort of thinner, but not flimsy. The material isn't like "real denim," like guy's jeans. There's something stretchy in there, but it's good. The jeans are very soft, like a thick cloth. The waistband reminds me of the kinds of waistbands in some maternity pants: it has a wide elastic band that could roll down on some, I suppose. I do not have that issue, however. There also is no gap at the back. The waistband sits at My natural waist. The color is lighter than I thought they were going to be, but that's okay. They are very easy to move in.The zipper and button closure is sturdy, seems like it will last a while. There is a cute star functional button at the hem of each leg. The legs are a flared boot cut, and the bottom hem is wide. The jeans are of a style that I have not seen, so I really like them. For the price, I will buy more, especially if these end up being durable jeans. So far, I'm very happy with my purchase.
