I took the "nudge" from other reviewers and sized down and I'm thrilled with the fit of these jeans.
Currently I normally buy and fit well in a size 12 jean. I ordered these LEE women's ultra LUX comfort flex jeans in a size 10 and the fit is like a glove and comfortable.
They are (for jeans) VERY stretchy but don't seem like grandma jeans.
The color is deep and rich. I haven't washed them yet but will probably wash them with black or other jeans and only in cold water. I doubt they'll shrink due to the cotton/poly content though possibly slightly in length which is sufficient (I'm 5' 5")
My only complaint so far is that the front pockets are SHALLOW. That's so annoying because basically they're not functional pockets unless you carry a tissue or a quarter in them. Give me some real pockets here please.
Now back to the fit.
I'm hour or pear shaped and have thick thighs and a smaller waist.
These are a beautiful fit for someone like myself who has thighs and a smaller waist
The waistband is super stretchy; it's different than any jeans waistband I've had and I'm not complaining about it. It does not look like an elastic waist and comes up above my belly button hugging all my curves nicely.
If you have thin thighs these will probably fit looser in the thigh area. I wouldn't mind that but that's not how I'm built.
I Like the flair leg bottom
These will definitely stretch as you wear them which , for me, is another reason I'm glad I sized down to the 10. I don't like having my pants falling down so that I have to shimmy them up all day. I think these will stay put as well as give me a freedom to move.
The price tag at 27 ish dollars is great too. I'm very happy with them so far and once I wear them for a bit will probably get another pair.
Will update if needed but for now I recommend these jeans.
They fit like a glove and feel good on while hugging my curves give me freedom to move.

Me- 5’7” long legs! 170#
pictures are the size 16.
I always wear L (long) pants. I was already wearing Lee brand jeans which stretched. I started with a 12L, but gained weight and was wearing a 16L until I found these.
The previous Lee jeans had a waistband which came up to hip area.
But sadly I faced medical problems and consoled myself with ice cream. The medical problems were caused by the surgeon who left me with a deformed foot. It is very hard to get enough exercise when you can’t really walk well let alone run, jog, skip rope or do any other stuff that would help.
Ice cream + inactivity = fatness. Anyone who goes from a size 12 to a 16 has no business wearing jeans which don’t have enough fabric to make it up to the hip bones any longer. I’m sure I looked like some chubby middle aged woman who should look in the mirror and stop dressing inappropriately.
These jeans stretch pretty much all over. I ordered a pair in Amazon’s recommended of size 14 but also in the size I suspected was better for me, size 16.
I took reviewer’s advice and did not get “Long”.
This was sound advice, the long’s would have required hemming.
I tried the size 16 first- they are incredibly comfortable and soft. They are roomy in the right places and the waist band height is much better. The crotch area was an exception though. That shouldn’t feel like there’s extra unneeded fabric, but it did. After washing this hasn’t bothered me. I do need a belt to keep these up if my phone is in the pocket.
Next I tried the size 14. I’m fairly confident that they will fit better if I lost 5 pounds. Otherwise I can wear them but the fit feels too small and I suspect they might look too small. I actually ordered another size 16 so that I have more than one pair of blue jeans to wear.
Highly recommend these jeans no matter what body shape. If you are struggling with waistbands, which are too tight these jeans have more than enough stretch in the fabric. The waistband doesn’t roll or curl over after bending down and the length, even after washing has stayed exactly like it was when I got them I did not need to buy long. The regular length is quite long enough. Ever so grateful this brand has mastered making a denim material which stretches but still looks like a normal blue jean, It is soft and a joy to wear.
