I love it so much as a curvy person and hope the ratio never changes. Initially there was some gaps in crotch, hips, butt, and thigh but as I worked on lean bulking and lifting weights it filled out perfectly. No feeling of tightness as I have had with other curvy jean competitors (I have tried 6 curvy brands before Levi including AF brand's CL). It sits on my skin comfy (especially when I am sitting down). As someone who is 5 ft 4 (164 cm, 129 lbs, size 28 - rise 10.0 inch) it sat at my belly button which is part of upper hip than my true waist (but it works and looks great). Wearing this brought up my confidence!

I originally bought the Rib Cage jeans which were too tight in places, then I read about this Curve cut and thought I would try them. They fit so well. I’ve never found jeans that either don’t gape at the waist or flatten me elsewhere. If you have a curvy or athletic shape with a small waist, definitely give them a go!

My whole life I have struggled with trousers, particularly jeans, and many a determined visit to yet again try on jeans ended in self-loathing, frustration or tears, or all of the above. Recently I visited Levi’s and didn’t leave in tears (a personal triumph), but I was still frustrated because I came away empty-handed. On the recommendation of the shop assistant (who did try his very best to help, bless him) I went online to look at styles they didn’t have in the shop. Here, dear reader, I found what I have been searching for my whole life - the 501 Curve range. Made for people who aren’t just larger, but have awkward sizing dilemmas. Particularly, a disproportionate waist to bum/thigh ratio. At this point in my life I am a healthy size, my shirts are around the 8-10 size depending on brand, and I regularly now come in at ‘small’. But not below the waist. Here I am more comfortably a 12, and that’s if sizing is generous. My single thigh measurement is only 7cm smaller than my waist, and when I tried the regular 501 style in store, the 29 that fit my waist didn’t actually make it all the way up my legs. They tapped out nearly 2 inches lower than they should have. The only pair of jeans that fit both my waist and thighs was a pair of very wide leg jeans. But I don’t want wide leg jeans, I want a more standard jeans cut. I don’t want a trending item, I want a style that lasts and transcends trends. I wanted the 501. And finally I have them. The size 29 jeans fit perfectly around the waist with no gaping at the front or back. The little bit of stretch means they ride over my backside and thighs comfortably, not too tight nor too loose. The fabric still feels like good strong denim but without the stiffness. They are comfortable, look great, feel great, and I couldn’t be happier.

Fit good around waist and thighs- my normal struggle

I have always struggled to find jeans that fit my body. I’ve had strong, muscular legs and glutes my whole life. I recently turned 30 and my measurements are roughly 38” bust, 30” waist, 44” hip, ~165lbs, 5’7” tall. I bought 2 pairs of the 501 Curve in size 30 waist and they fit me LIKE A GLOVE. This must be how the models feel! I have never felt so beautiful and confident in a pair of jeans. There is absolutely ZERO GAPPING and no pancake butt either! I don’t even need to wear a belt which NEVER HAPPENS. I would absolute recommend that anyone give these jeans a try! They might not work for everyone, but it feels so good to finally have a pair work for me as I feel my athletic/curvy body type is not often catered to in the fashion world. Levi’s please make more curve fit jeans and PLEASE MAKE MORE COLOURS!!

Fantastic and fits like a glove! They fit perfect! I can sit witout the gap at the back and they aren't too baggy everywhere else. I want a pair in every color!

Hele fijne mooie broek. Zit erg fijn. Een beetje stretch en weer strak in de taille
