Hi, Shannon;
I recently ordered the Kuts plus petite Michael Kors & Jag white jeans from Nordstrom. I am not an apple but have both chunky thighs and calves. The Kuts and Kors are definitely skinnies and won't work for me. The Jags are straight leg (14" at the bottom on a 2P) with a mid-rise (9"F & 13.5"B on a 2P) and seem to be fairly TTS. I just have to decide how I feel about the back pocket flap. They are 3% spandex with no polyester, and I haven't worn them enough to determine if they bag out a lot. However, anything white is a single wear item for me so I don't know that bagging should be much of a consideration unless it is extreme. When I tried on Jag blue jeans a year ago (but didn't buy), they seemed to flatter me so maybe it's a brand that happens to work for my body type.
I also ordered the Levi's mid-rise petite skinnies off Zappos, and they are definitely skinny. I ordered up to a 4P, but need a 6P or possibly even 8P. These are not Curve ID jeans so the sizing runs like their sizing of years ago: Not inflated,
