Levi Strauss Signature GoldWomen's Curvy Totally Shaping Straight Jeans (Available in Plus Size)

I have purchased 12 pairs of these over the past years for both work and every day use. I do a lot of squatting down at work and the inner crotch seams start to split open after awhile.The past 2 pairs I bought were wildly different. Still Levi quality but definitely a tighter skinny fit rather than straight leg and I had to size up despite not changing in my weight. My typical 8 short fit very tight in both the legs and waist. I went up to a 10 short and they're still skinnier than the older pairs but fit much better in the waist. I still highly recommend these but the sizing has become inconsistent

They fit perfectly if you get the right size. Thanks to Ozempic, I needed to buy smaller jeans and I still need a belt to keep the size 20 jeans up. Size 18 fits perfectly and actually looks good (I have a waist again)! Just get a size smaller than you normally would.

The sizing is very “true” compared to other sizes (I wear an 18 in Torrid, so tried an 18 in these & it was great!)The only reason I went with 4 stars instead of 3 is that the jeans are very tight in the knee/calf area. The jeans are stretchy, so they aren’t uncomfortable, but it does cause the pants to need to be pulled down when I stand up. Not a deal-breaker for me, so I’m not bothered by it, but definitely something to keep in mind.The top also has a little “pouch” to help keep my chunky bits a little closer to home, which I also like.

UPDATE: I have a size 18M and a 20M - the 20M is the best at my weight and shape. The 18 fits but the waist is a bit tight; the 20 is PERFECT.These are nice. The material feels good on the skin. I am now the largest I have ever been (5'5 1/2" and 240lbs) so I've had trouble finding pants that are comfy and flattering. These work.PROS:+ The material is not uncomfortably thick but it's not too thin & doesn't doesn't look stressed or too tight+ The waist loosens a bit with some wear (thank goodness!)+ The length is just right for my height - not highwater nor dragging the floors.+The black color is even and opaque, not washed-out looking.This size works for me and, even though, I'm muffin-like at the waist, I don't feel squished. Like most jeans or jeans-like pants, these fit even better the 2nd day.

These feel amazing! Fabric is soft yet substantial, the stretch makes it a winner. They’re different than the Levi’s fit from 50 years ago but the styles have all changed so much and it’s tough to find a new favorite. If this one had the usual pocket graphic (Levi’s snob!) it would be the one, and in black it doesn’t matter.

Update 2/22/2025:The size 10 is baggy in the thighs, hips, and legs. The sizing is somewhat inconsistent, so if your regular size doesn’t fit, try sizing down a size or re-order the same size because it may fit differently.Update 2/9/2025:I’ve been wearing these for a while now, and they are very comfortable. They don’t stretch out or get baggy as I wear them. They are not shapewear, but the fit is flattering. I wash them in cold water and dry them in low heat, and they don’t need ironing if I take them out of the dryer right away. They do not shrink. I own 3 pairs of them now, and they’re my everyday jeans. I wish they came in a dark blue wash. I bought a pair of the Night-Sky Waterless, based on reviews that say they’re dark blue, but they are definitely black.These are NOT Levi’s! They’re made by a company that licensed the name. The logo on the back pocket isn’t the iconic Levi’s logo. The material is a lightweight stretchy denim, which is perfect for our mild Texas winter. The Night-sky waterless color is black, even though some reviews say it’s blue. The fit is nice. It’s narrow through the legs, and tapers to the bottom. There’s a little bit of give in the fabric in the waist and hips which adds comfort. They are not shapewear, so don’t expect that, but the fit is flattering. The quality is not the same as genuine Levi’s, as the fabric isn’t the heavy weight denim, and the fit isn’t the same. However, they’re less expensive than genuine Levi’s. I’m currently in a weight loss program, so I probably won’t be in this size for more than a few months. So, for me, they’re a better value for the short-term wear expected than full-priced genuine Levi’s. I hope this review helps others.

These jeans fit on me like a glove. So happy with my purchase. They are stretchy and not super thick, very comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

I'm a tall (6')and plus size (265) girly and 20W fit perfect! I love the material. They are so soft and flattering. Not tight in the waist for me (apple shape)
