I usually have to buy my jeans really tight, becuause they almost always stretch out on me, and I hate to have to wear a belt or have them look sloppy.
I have a curvy figure and like a low to mid rise jean. Nothing above my belly button. I tend to find that Levi's fits me the best. I have the defined waist ones (so the butt AND the waist fits). I have some of the 542's and I love them. They have the flap pockets on the back.
If I fit into Lucky jeans....I'm pretty sure I'd own a pair of them! My boys have them and love love love them.
Another few brands that fit my shape well are Dickie's stretch denim jeans. I got an awesome pair....I didn't even know that Dickie's made denim. Also, I have a pair of seven 7 jeans that I love. I had about 8 old pair of the Seven 7's, and I got rid of most of them. They still were all in perfect shape, but I was little over having all the bling on my butt. I don't think they ever wear out!
