Sorry folks; I’m returning them. At their yikes-y price point, I really feel they need to be a *10* on this body and that I need to feel like I have died and gone to heaven. If the rise were .5” to 1” higher in front, they would be more flattering. Or maybe the elastic needs to be a tad looser although it is not actually tight. And yes, I have jeans that fit like this. But on me, these babies are a *9* at best. If I should ever find them marked down I will reconsider.
