I went shopping last week and discovered that I am well and truly ensconced in "regular" size 16's (no "W" after that one, baby!). Alas, that means that I have to give up my beloved Levi's 580 Defined Waist Boot Cut Jeans--which I have owned in sizes 20W, 18W, and 16W.
However, I am uber-excited about my new love: Levi's 525 Perfect Waist! If you are like me and have a "full" bottom with a smaller waist, then you know the horrors of "the gap."

Well, the Levi's 525 has a band of heavy-duty elastic on the inside of the waist-band that is super-comfortable and eliminates this gap! If you heart just skipped a beat at reading "elastic" and "waist" in the same sentence, never fear. The exterior is smooth like a regular jean waistband, it just stretches a bit. Check it out...
Cheers!

Heaven!! I'm going to find a pair...I've had a case of the GAP since grade school. It's a side effect of Juicy Butt syndrome.
Cool. Might have to look em up...especially in a few sizes!
Always interested in what jeans work for people. Never easy to find that perfect pair.
I am definitely going to try those out! Yeah for losing the W to that 16! We are band date sisters and I do know Jenny :)
Congrats on the size 16's! If I remember correctly I bought a pair for 16's from Levi's last week and I believe that are the 525! Ill have to double check but either way I love them!
Duuuuuuude... you just rocked my world Lynda. The dreaded "gap" is the bane of my existence. *running to the nearest Levi's store*
I will need to check those jeans out, because they do sound great.
And a big congratulations on losing the 'W' from the sizing :o)
