Levi’s always is top notch quality and this curvy

4 months ago
Levi’s is my go to forever and always, they are so well made and such a quality company with equally quality products. I’ve never found a pair of Levi’s and thought wow this is going down hill. My vintage Levi’s are all incredible even, I don’t really know another brand that can do what they do, which is be so consistent with such quality products for hundreds of years- 172 year old company that hasn’t faltered ever. These are dreamy, my body type really loves this curvy fit of shorts. Classic 501’s with a curvy shape is just absolutely gorgeous on me, I feel so beautiful in them. I love the color, the fit, the quality and overall vibe of them. The one star I did take away is just the buttons, I like they covered them at least but I always prefer a zipper personally. They have nice pockets which women absolutely deserve (right?!) and are incredibly comfortable and don’t rise up and pull on me like other shorts do. These are so cute I will be getting them in a denim blue too because they suit my body so well right now. I lost some weight and this was the first thing I’ve put on that made me feel like myself again, and that’s what truly matters. Love you Levi’s!

Cute and comfortable minus the extra buttons

4 months ago
Comfortable shorts. I like the fit around the thighs and butt. They have a nice little stretch to them. I have a very curvy, hourglass waist, so I always disliked having pants and shorts that were so baggy by my waist or too tight around my thighs. These are nice! They fit comfortably, the material feels nice and durable. I like the stitching around the bottom of the shorts, so they don’t roll up or fold when walking. They aren’t a heavy fabric, so will be good for summer. I don’t like the buttons, however. There are 4 inside buttons below the top button. They are hidden by the fabric, but still, I don’t like it. I don’t want to have to undo and redo 5 buttons during restroom breaks or changing. But, I’ll deal with it, because I like these shorts otherwise.

I like the color wash and the style of these shorts. They are versatile with many outfits. I didn’t care for the buttons, wished it was a zipper instead. I ordered my size but they are a little snug at the waist but still fits.

Wish they covered my behind

4 months ago
The size 27 fits good around the waist and thighs but the back looks very short and shows my behind. I wish they weren't short on my behind because these would've been perfect for me. What got me ordering because the darker blue the color one step down from the light bleached wash was perfect for me it covered my behind really well and fit around my thighs perfectly.

Sizes vary based on color/wash!!!!!

27 days ago
I am 5’3, 130 lbs with a 26” waist, 36” hips and 21” thigh. I’m giving these 3 stars solely based on how different the sizing is on the same style of shorts. I bought three different colors in these shorts and they all fit very different. The color “Got Looks” goes on easily and fits comfortably in the size I got. “En Masse” and “Happy Vibes” both fit a little more snug and are tricky to pull on. Once on, they are okay. I’m hoping that as the day goes by, they maybe get a little more worn in. “Happy Vibes” does not fit as loose around my thighs as the other two. It’s definitely a tighter fit and they are probably my least favorite pair that I received. I probably could have sized up in two pair but I thought since they were the same style they would all fit similar to each other. 2/3 pair fit nice in my hip area and thigh area. 1 of those same 2 is a little tighter in the waist area. The “Happy Vibes” are snug everywhere.

Plus-Size Might Not Be Levi’s Friend, You Could Be!

27 days ago
This design is great for staying on top with current trends. However, I did not find these to be plus-size friendly. I ordered the biggest size possible and couldn’t get them on (I am maybe a Size 22-24 normally). I do think these would work for others with the body to wear them appropriately, as long as you can handle the rough material and minimal stretch.

Levi’s

3 months ago
I received these Levi 501 curve women’s shorts in the size 34 in exchange for my honest review. I absolutely love Levi Jean shorts one because I am a bigger woman I’m short and they usually always fit extremely well on me. I go for normally the zip up style but these are the button up. They are so cute you can dress them up and down. They last for a very long time and hold up well through just about anything. I was disappointed a little because of my recent health issues and weight I wasn’t able to button them up. The reason I gave 3 stars is because I tried to reach out to Levi and I wasn’t able to get anywhere with them. And they didn’t respond to my email to try and exchange them. Other than that I absolutely love them and hope to fit into them and wear them this summer.

Beautiful shorts , just not the right fit for me

4 months ago
I usually wear size 27in Levi’s and it típically fits me perfectly ; with this style , the fit felt a bit different that what I’m used to. I initially ordered my usual size , but it didn’t work out , so I exchange it for size 29 , even then the waist still felt quite snug while the legs were slightly roomier than expected. I also wish the fabric had a little more stretch to help shape and contour the silhouette more comfortably . I really love Levi’s , but this particularly fit just wasn’t the best match for my body .

Too stiff

4 months ago
These curvy jean shorts are super soft to the touch and I love the ripped detailing on these as well as the length. They feel like excellent quality as well. I will say these are very stiff in the waist so they aren't comfortable to wear for me personally, I was hoping for more of a stretch and they also seem to run very small. Overall these are adorable shorts and a perfect length for me and maybe a bigger size would make me feel differently about these but they are way too uncomfortable for me without having that stretch.

Too short

The inseam is too short for being “curve.” The waist fit fine but my butt was out if I moved at all.if they were tighter around the thigh it wouldn’t be a problem but they were loose around the thigh for me.
