Neat site if you are looking for jeans that fit
It's called zafu.com. You answer various questions about your body type and then it gives you a list of the namebrand jeans/fit/style/price of jeans that are the best for your body type. Very cool!

I really like the zafu website. Although it seemed like I could never find any of the specific jeans they recommend, It did make me look at different brands than I normally might, and I found some DKNY jeans that fit me perfectly for only $29.

I got some Aeropostale low rise [first time for me!], short length, stretch, & boot cut & love them! They fit perfect.  I really don't like that the boot cut of today is not the same as back in the day. I want a narrower leg, but I don't think those so called skinny jeans would work for me :dunno: grrr
And also it was kinda funny b/c hubby was checking out my jeans. Of course, they are that lighter denim & look like they've been worn before! lol

That's cool. I don't wear a lot of jeans, but I got a bunch of BabyPhat and Lucky jeans, which are brands I would be more likely to buy!

If you're fat like me, you have to take a poll but they don't give you any information. They're just starting to work on plus-sized clothes, I guess.

All I got were Crew and BK something or the other for size 18. Guess the perfect fitting Gaps I were aren't doing it.

I wish that all my top matches didn't cost $150, because they look like nice pants if I could afford them. I really don't have $150 to spend on a pair of pants. I cringe spending $50 on Gap jeans. I just don't think the designer jeans are 3 times better than the Gap jeans. Better, yes. But not that much, if you don't care about the brand name, which I don't. I'd buy even cheaper jeans if Gap long sizes didn't have a 35 inch inseam, as opposed to everyone else whose longs are 34 inches. I LOVE being able to buy pants in the store. I have to order from everywhere else.

I saw this site on here earlier and used it. While one brand was $150, I did find a wonderful pair of Baby Phat that work nicely with minimal waist gap, and no coin slot. They make the rear look good too.

Do I even want to know what a "coin slot" is?

No, that's a coin pocket. Why would the lack of one of those be a good thing?

Oh, whew, I was afraid it was related to "camel toe," which I'd never even heard of before coming to NC.com.

Ugh, one pair of jeans it listed for me I already own, but it went heavy on the Baby Phat rec's. I'd rather walk around in ill-fitting jeans.

I love the jeans that they suggested for me - too bad they're all about 120+ dollars out of my price range.

I said that too until I actually tried on of the rec'd pairs on. I scoffed at them before, but love them now. They feel fab.

Great site! Thanks. 
There were 152 jeans to choose from, so I will look this over when I have more time.
