My point of contention with jeans buying stem from these issues:
1. I am 5'4"-5'5" tall (I say that height because I am in the middle of that height range). Petite sizes run too short, and obviously tall is out of the question, so I am average.
2. I am straight up and down, with NO hips.
3. I am thick-waisted, having virtually NO WAIST--even at my thinnest, BC (Before Children), I have no waist.
4. I have skinny legs, hardly any thighs.
5. And finally, I have NO BEHIND--never had, never will. All of my weight goes to my torso.
Your "Unhappiness List With Jeans" may look like this or something similar. If I get a fit in one of these areas, you can bet, there is another fit issue in one of the other areas. I come away from the store frustrated and ready to tackel the next girl I walk by, with a little figure and "perfect fit" pair of jeans on her body!
It's not that I am complaining about my body, which admittedly, I do need to lose about 20 pounds or so; but honestly, why can't jeans be made that fit ME, that fit YOU, the way we need them to? Why can't we just have a pair of jeans that fit us so well, we are confident we look nice, when we walk out the door in the morning?
My biggest problem with the jeans I have bought lately, is that if the jeans fit me everyplace when I put them on in the morning, within about 3 hours after I have them on, the waist gaps, and I end-up with my jeans literally falling off of me! (And what's worse, is they end-up somehow, taking my panties with them.) Umm, I don't think they are supposed to do that, and I don't think that qualifies as a "good fit."
I have tried "cheap" jeans, I have tried expensive jeans, and I end-up with the same results. So, in the interest of helping myself and your ladies who identify with me, I have checked some websites which offer custom-made jeans. Now, the ranges in price go from reasonable to the "I'll think about that price," to the "are you crazy?"
Custom-fit is my last ditch effort, before going to the Men's Department or begin wearing dresses and skirts all of the time. Here is an article about custom-made jeans, which offer some sites for you to look at, and finally, below that, I have found what I think is a reasonably price company with a link for you. I am going to give this company a try and see how they do...why not try the most reasonably priced first (they are "Make Your Own Jeans").

Should you decide to order custom-made jeans, or if you have already done so, I would love to hear from you and hear of your experience, so please email me, or leave me a post.
I hope this helped those of you, who like me, love and live in jeans, but are tired of having "The Denim Blues."
Peace to you,
