You know the drill when it comes to finding jeans: They are too short…too long…too big in the waist…too tight at the waist…won't fit over your shapely thighs…won't hug your slender thighs…not quite the right color…etc…etc!
Ahhhh, what does a gal need to do in order to find a perfectly fitting pair of jeans?

Simply send me a comment about your biggest jean-hunting woes (we can all learn from each others troubles) and I will randomly (names-in-a-hat style) choose a winner!
Happy individualizing!
My biggest problem is finding something that fits me in the waist but doesn’t have too high a rise! I end up with grandma pants going all the way up to my bra. WTF?
I have trouble finding jeans that are small and fitted up top but long enough with some flare for my long legs and big feet (I am 5’11 with size 11 feet).
My biggest jeans-hunting woe is finding a pair that is just the right length. I am short at 5’1″ and my legs are super short, and I spend forever trying on jeans to find a pair that aren’t too long on me! Lately when I shop it seems like even the petite sizes or the ‘ankle’ length jeans are just way too long on me! It would be fantastic if I could customize my jeans at a site like this!
Matching my waist, to the length, to the stretch. Small waist, short legs, big hips. What a pain to shop! I mostly end up hunting down a tailor to hem!
My biggest problem with pants in general is …everything. I’m 5’3” so I’m shorter than average. Then I have a bigger butt, thighs and hips and a smaller waist so everything that fits my hips and thighs makes the waist band gap. It’s ridiculous.
I’m juuust too tall for petites – they all leave a little bit too much of my ankle exposed, and don’t quite cover the tops of my shoes… but also too short for “regulars” – and can’t always afford to get everything professionally hemmed!
I have a big butt and a small waist. So if I find jeans that fit my waist, I cant get them on. If they make it past my butt, they’re huge around the waist!!
My biggest woe is finding jeans that will rest at the perfect spot on my hips without sagging or giving me muffin top!
I always seem to be pulling my jeans up! So frustrating…
I have no hips or butt to speak of, however I have a not so narrow post-baby waist. So either I have to suffer the embarassment of a muffin top, or look like my jeans are going to sag to the floor. Neither look is very attractive
The biggest problem is without a doubt the waist/hip ratio. I’m petite, but hemming can fix this problem. The waist/hips are always wrong!
For me it’s all about the inseam…I am in between average and tall and we all know that jeans that are hemmed totally look like they were hemmed.
I’m tall, I have smaller waist but I have a booty and big thighs AND chubby knees (yes, it’s possible!!), so this whole skinny jean trend, while adorable, is killing me. And even when I find a pair of jeans that does not make me feel *humiliated*, as soon as I wash them…it’s OVER!
Omg. Want. Seriously, I have 2 pairs of jeans because NOTHING EVER FITS. This sounds amazing. I’m Puerto Rican and jean companies can’t handle the ass
Basically, jeans will be huge in the waist but make my butt look flat (which it is NOT, by any stretch of the imagination). I need pants that fit both my waist and my bum. Pretty please?
I can’t find a pair that fit in the waist but are big enough in the rear! I always end up with a huge gap!
My biggest issue is the fact that I need something with some give that isn’t too tight.
I must wear due to DVT (Deep vein throbosis) a compression stocking on my left leg. It is a thigh high version and if I have been on my leg for a time it will swell.
I am looking sor something that will not show the stocking where it starts and I also do not want Mom jeans.
I had jeans I loved when I was growing ups but then they stoped making them. They were Ruff Hewn and well then I went to Lee and loved them. Then they stopped making the version I liked. I haven’t found anything since.
Jeans–please! I have long legs, no butt and a big tummy. Think they can fix all that???
Please pick me! I am only 5′ and hate paying my tailor an outrageous amount of money to cut perfectly good pants!! I have heard great things about this company, too! Can’t wait to check it out!!!!
I’ve always had trouble finding jeans – I’m petite and I have no backside. So in order to fit my waist, I end up being a member of the saggy-bottom band. If I fit my backside, it’s uncomfortably tight in the waist. Alas, one day I went to Macy’s to try on as many jeans as I could, desperate for at least ONE pair of jeans. I actually counted that day, and went through 40 different pairs in that sad dressing room. Not one fit. Not one!
I heard about this company a while back and have been curious to try them out. The thing I hate most about buying jeans is that I find a pair that fits in the store, but they never seem to fit the same after I take them home and wash them.
Low Rise jeans are always the right length and fit well around my butt and and thighs but are always TOO Low to where I can’t bend over to take my shoes off and they have unforgiving waistbands that exaggerate my muffin top. Haven’t found the “perfect” pair yet.
I have a helluva time finding jeans that look good on my petite, big bellied frame. Sad but true…
When I finally manage to find jeans that fit reasonably in the waist, hips, and thighs and do not drag the ground, THEY SHRINK!!! You never know how much they are going to shrink until you have already bought them, worn them to get that perfect fit, and then washed them. It is so disappointing! And then, on the rare occasion that you do have the perfect pair post-washing, they decide to quit making that style.
My biggest problem is the petites are too short but the regulars are slightly too long. Plus I hate when I have a slight muffin top on above my pants.
I can never find jeans that fit right! First, I’m plus-size which narrows the field of options a LOT! I also apparently have a weird leg length, somewhere between “short” and “regular” lengths, and am not hippy, which plus-size clothing manufacturers tend to assume we all are.
My biggest dilemma has been that my tummy is a little too big compared to my bottom/hips. So, I can either end up with a muffin top or with a “baby butt”.
It’s hard for me to find jeans that fit me well, which is why I rarely shop for them! Either they give me a muffin top or they fit me well at the waist and are loose everywhere else.
Finding jeans with a modern cut that have a reasonable rise. No low-riders, please.
I hate, hate, hate, hate buying pants! I’ve never had any luck! Every time I find a pair, I gain or lose weight and need to start all over! My biggest problem is that–according to the major clothing makers of the world–my hips and waist aren’t in proportion. What just squeaks over my hips leaves often a several inch loose gap and space over my waist. Major ick!
It’s hard to pick just one issue with jeans. I have short legs and jeans seem to be made for models, and I hate how non-stretchy jeans tend to have that bulge in the back area.
I’m 6’5″ and mostly legs. It’s an understatement to say it’s pretty difficult to find jeans that’ll fit.
getting the waist right is always my problem, they are always too high or too low!
I have problems with almost every dimension of jeans! I am 5’4″ with short-ish legs, so regular jeans are always too long and petites are too short. I also have a pretty full rear and thighs, but a slim waist, so jeans always have a huge gap in the back. If I can get jeans up over my butt, I can usually fit both of my fists in the waistband at the small of my back! I gave up on wearing jeans for years, then finally bought a pair and spent about $40 having them hemmed and nipped at the waist. Ugh.
I can never find a pair that fits right. It is either nicely fitting in the stomach, without a muffin top, but the legs are big or fits, with a muffin top and not as much room in the legs. I would love a custom pair of jeans.
S.O.S. I am 5’3″ and of course all jeans, unless I can find Petites, are too long. Then when I do find Petites that might fit, they shrink too short. Also, I have no hips or derriere, so they always bag on me. And if they fit my hips, they’re too tight around the waist. And I have a poochy stomach, so I need a little help there as well. I need jeans that look good on me. Help!
Never in my entire life have I owned a pair of jeans that fit me correctly.
I would love to give these jeans a try. I am a tall size 18, not a plus size, yet neither department has a pant that looks good on me.
I have two problems finding great fitting jeans, 1. that gap in the back where your undies show. Hate that. I also have trouble with the length. I’m 5’5″, so petites are too short, but regulars are too long. I hope you can help me. I really need it!!!
My biggest problem with skinny jeans is that it is always too tight around the waist or legs.
I am 5’11” with a 36″ inseam and I can NEVER find jeans long enough!
How about a haiku?
I’m short and my jeans
never seem to fit me right
I need some help, please!
Hi and thanks for the chance to win!!!
I’m a tall gal~and I have the most terrible time finding jeans that are long enough. When I finally find them long enough, they have the following problems:
The longs don’t come in the color I like, the rise is too low and everytime I bend down–well, it’s not pretty, or the material is too ‘stretchy’ for me, or the mid section is too long and hangs down like MC Hammer pants. What ever happened to the good old days when you could find jeans that were thicker, lasted longer, and didn’t give the world a ‘plumber’s look’ everytime ya bend down????
AHHHH!!! The dreaded shopping for the perfect jeans!!!
I like the comfort of stretch jeans, but I almost always end up buying a size up in the store, since they’re so tight. Then they get way too loose once I break them in.
My denim gaps in the back, is too tight in the thighs, and too big in the waist. Eek!
I’m 5’3 and can never find jeans the right length. They’re either WAY too long, or just a little too short. Wish I could get the perfect length!
I hate shopping for jeans! I honestly would rather wear the pair I’ve had since freshman year of high school (yes, I still wear them eight years later) than worry the jeans I’ve just bought will stretch and look terrible the next day (yes, it always happens).
At least having custom jeans for once would take away that concern!!
Thanks!
It seems like I find a good pair of jeans once in a blue moon. As soon as I figure out they are my favorite, I return to the store to find the style has changed! It’s crazy! On top of that, my body has gone through so many subtle changes with having 2 kids that each time some area is more of a concern. My issues are mostly length and waist, but lately it’s the rear that’s causing the problem! I need help!
I’m pear-shaped so that always means trouble finding jeans that fit flatteringly around my hips but still fit my much tinier waist. I also have scoliosis so unless the rise is right, the jeans tend to looked lopsided on me.
Finding the right length is always difficult. More often then not, I have to hem my jeans to accomodate, which never looks perfectly right to me, since I like my jeans with a little wear, and the new hem looks very obvious to me… luckily all people aren’t as crazy as I am to notice when someone else’s jeans are hemmed, heh.
I have the absolute worst time finding jeans that fit right. If they fit in the hips (my largest area) then they are huge in the waist and the length is NEVER right. I am too “tall” for petite lengths (usually 29″) and too short for regular lengths (usually 30″)! I swear, it is worse than finding a bathing suit!!
Oh, I hate jeans shopping. This indiDenim thing might be a lifesaver. I have long legs and a small waist, but a very large butt. I’ve learned to love my big rear end, but that hasn’t helped me find any jeans that fit over it without gaping around my waist or hitting above my ankles.
My biggest jean hunting woe is having a small waist and large booty…
Finding the perfect rise for my frame. I’m petite (5’3″) and even petite lenghts seem to be either too low or so high that they look like the dreaded ‘mom’ jean.
I have a big butt, almost no hips and a bit of a belly pooch — any jeans that can go past my behind and button over my belly still leave me with a weird bunching in the front of my jeans. Tailoring is so expensive and unless its the plainest pair of jeans, tailoring will just ruin the design anyway. I’ve been getting by wearing longer shirts over my jeans, tucking in is not pretty!
My issue is wide hips and thighs. A size 6 is loose but a size 4 jean is tight on the thighs. It’s very frustrating.
I rarely find jeans that are long enough. I hate that the stores have stopped carrying as many sizes in long inseams. I want to try them on, not order them online!
i am very petite and skinny so i have troubles finding jeans that are not too long and not too loose in the waist
With lower cut jeans, they are often too big in the waist. [With high waisted jeans that's not a problem.] Sometimes, it’s hard finding just the right fit!
My biggest woe is sizing. The same size in two brand can fit (or not) completely differently.
My biggest jeans woes revolve around finding jeans that fit my hips but don’t accentuate the spare tire.
I saw a couple other people in comments with the same problem I have. I’m only about 4’11″ but I’m fairly normally proportioned and my figure is pretty much a small hourglass and I have muscular thighs. So it’s hard finding the right leg length, curves, zipper length, rise, and waist size combination. I hem everything so as long as I can get a cut that is hem friendly and fits in the waits/hips/crotch, I’m good to go but it’s still an adventure in frustration sometimes.
I’m lucky to be able to wear jeans almost every day at work, because I love jeans! But I hate shopping for them. As a tall(ish)I struggle to find the perfect fit. Regulars are just a bit too short and just one husband-does-the-laundry-day could shrink them past the point of no return. At best they have no heel-height versatility. Most tall sizes are way too long. I usually grow to love the pair that fits best, and wear them in until they feel like a part of my body. By then they wear out and must be retired and by then, even if I could find another pair it wouldn’t be the same. Sad!
I can never find jeans that fit just right…I’m tall, with curves in all the wrong places, and a crazy long inseam – so low rise look ridiculous and ‘normal’ rise (only found in mom stores!) don’t fit either. Help!
My problems with jeans are many, but my main issue is length. I am 5’5″ and I have short legs, but not really short legs. In other words, jeans are inevitably too short (if I buy shorts or petites) or too long (if I buy regulars). It’s totally frustrating!
I cannot find jeans that fit me in the waist and the thighs. If they fit in the waist they are too tight in the thighs or if they fit in the thighs they are too loose in the waist. Argh!
My biggest issue is finding durable jeans; sometimes when I walk the material between the thighs tends to wear and create holes. My current favorite jeans don’t do this and are extremely comfy.
Any jeans I’ve ever bought, if they fit in the hips, they sag on my waist. Not to mention that I need the inseam to be 1 inch longer than “average,” but not as long as “tall.”
My biggest problem is that my waist is one size and my hips are another! If it’s perfect in the hips, it’s gaping around the waist; if it fits the waist, I can’t get it past my hips. I’ve been told to wear lower cut styles but the ones out there seem sooooo low that my rear is hanging out. Definitely not the look I’m going for! And on top of everything else, my height puts me right smack between the usual “ankle” length and “regular” length. Argh.
My biggest problem is my big butt, thighs, and tummy. I can never find a pair of jeans that fit just right they are either to small or too big, or too long, because I’m about 5’3. It would be nice to have a pair of good jeans that fit right for once.
I’ve got short legs, full hips & thighs and a small waist. As a result, my jeans are always either too long, too loose around the middle, or too tight around the thighs. I don’t think I’ve ever found a pair that fits “just right”!
I’m mentioning this for my friend Colleen. She is over 6’6″ and has a 40″ inseam. Nothing much fits. She takes jeans and cuts off the legs of old jeans and sews them on so get the length. Here is a link to her blog with photos of her not fitting into this world including one of her current jeans
