This is a request from my mother just now. She's looking for straight leg jeans that will fit a curvy figure. She got desperate enough to even try Old Navy although they stretch out so quickly, but they're totally out of stock of her size.

I'm not really a jeans wearer, but from what I've seen here I suggested Kut and NYDJ (which I think she's tried before). She's tried Gap once and nothing came close to fitting her. I don't think she'd want to try premium denim because of the cost.

She does not like skinnies, and the boot cuts coming back in are tight at the knees. (I kind of agree with this, I've always found that uncomfortable.)

FWIW, she is very fine boned, 5'7", with a very wide pelvis for her build. Her waist is still 25" and her hips probably over 40". She has had to alter jeans all her life and it's so discouraging.
