Which brands worked best for you, PP? Also, did you have anything altered other than the length? As another height-challenged DCUM poster, I'd love to know. TIA!

I'm 50+ years old, 5'10" and considered slender, although my thighs and relatively smaller waist are the areas I have to consider when buying jeans--I'm flat across the tummy but not straight through the thighs. I'm willing to pay for the best fitting jeans possible and would appreciate any suggestions re brand and style. Thanks!

I agree with this. They can look at your body type and recommend specific brands that would work.

There are many options for premium denim within your budget. Have you ever tried Level 99 jeans? They have 2 great style that would fit your body well and best of all they are under $100. If you are looking for a skinny/straight leg try the Lily (great for tucking into boots) or the Chloe for a tapered bootcut (bootcut that isn't too wide at the bottom) Check out this brand at Hand In Pocket http://handinpocket.com/denim.html?brand=74&dir=desc&order=position

I am 5'5" and 122 lbs. I love my Levi's. I know that sounds crazy and probably not quite "sexy", but I have to tell you, they have some GREAT cuts that look amazing and without the $150 price tag. I wouldn't trade them. They fit terrific, and fit EVERY curve.

Agreed. I'm your height and weight and love my Lucky's (great online sales too, if you register). I also really like AG Jeans.

Many designer jeans are pushing $200 these days. That's when I had to get off the bus (especially b/c I have to spend money to hem them, too).

I love joes jeans, too. Try to determine the style of jean you want too... Skinny, straight leg, wide leg, high waisted, etc.

Congrats on losing the baby weight!
