This is the first time that I have purchased jeans in years as I was afraid that denim would no longer work considering my growing waistline. The stretch denim makes for a great fit at the waist (a classic fit that sits right beneath my belly button). The material breathes well. Shrinks in the wash (lost ½" in length). I wear these jeans at my desk all day and while working in the garden. They are very comfortable! And they do not stretch out very much by the end of the day. I love these jeans and will purchase more.

Love these! So happy to find jeans in my size with a rise that's longer than 4 inch. Also, most items in smaller sizes don't include any slimming or supportive features like this, but I still have some jiggly parts that I want to keep under wraps! Would like them to be a little narrower from the knees down, but overall am quite pleased.

I really like these jeans. They fit well, and the color is good (they don't look like old lady jeans)! The only thing is they are not good for tucking into boots.

These jeans are absolutely perfect. Perfect fit, great price, and very becoming. I hate low-rise. Love these.

Awesome jeans, fit perfectly. Maybe a little snug in the waist, but not enough to be a problem. I used to wear Page Premium jeans because of the fit. Now I buy Levi's Womens 512 at a fraction of the price. I wear an 8, I am 5'4", 135 lbs.

I am pear-shaped, this style is my favorite, and I have most of the colors. Yes, they are kind of a mom style, but I am 63 so who am I kidding? I prefer the denim fabrics with some polyester - they are soft and stretchy and not too heavy. Some of the novelty colors (I have some purple ones from last year) are 98 percent cotton and a bit too heavy for me. I also wear 529s and like those except that the low cut in front tends to create a muffin top. The 512s do not do that. All colors fit about the same as far as I can see.

Yay! I have been searching for jeans with a normal rise, and found them here. I think the new low rise jeans are so tacky. Unless you don't have an ounce of fat, they are not flattering. I'm a pretty small woman; I wear a size two, but I cannot pull off low rise jeans. These jeans actually sit at the waist as advertised. I have tried other brands that make this same claim and it's just not true. I love these jeans. Finally! Should I order more? Why, yes, I should!

Very flattering fit. However, the size varies depending on the color - black and bluebell run a full size smaller. Luckily Zappos has free shipping in case you need to try a different size!

I am sorry to write a negative review of Levi's 512 jeans. I've worn this style for years and I've been disappointed in recent months. I've always worn a 4PS and have ordered pants online with no problem until a few months ago. Now the jeans are very tight. Right, you probably think that I've gained weight, but that is not the case. My guess is that Levi has switched who manufactures the petite jeans and the sizing is now way off. I also have noticed that the material puckers at the crotch/hips after a few washings. This is very disappointing. I actually paid full price at Macy's because I thought that I might be getting a different product at a discount online. I am now buying a regular size 4 and having the jeans altered. The jeans still pucker after a few washing. Being that Levi is a top brand name in the United States, I am sad that I must write a negative evaluation of one of their current products.

Since I always read reviews & rely on what others say I'm finding it difficult to find Levi's that fit me. So here's my take on these jeans. I'm 5'8" and weigh 127. Long legs/small waist, very difficult to find jeans that are not too skinny but are stylish AND comfortable. Used to wear 505's but the reviews were awful so tried these jeans. I love them! Size 4 with 32" inseam is perfect for boots (I also bought black straight leg) So reviewers said they were "old lady" jeans. They are NOT.

Slimming fit. Waist is high enough to avoid the "muffin top" but not a mom-jean. I'm glad I found these.

I wanted a second pair of these jeans, but couldn't find my size at my local spots, and thought of Zappos. Service was incredible, and delivered right to my mailbox. Jeans are comfy and slimming!

I usually get these jeans in boot cut and a longer length. I can never find capris that fit my curvy figure, so I thought I'd give these a try and roll them. It worked! They look wonderful and are so, so soft. Ordering another pair immediately-

One of the best pair of jeans I have ever owned. They are not trendy, but great for every day wear. I am so tired of low rise jeans, and these are a perfect alternative. They have a slimming effect around the tummy. I read other reviews that state one has to buy an extra size larger, which is true - but who will ever know?

I love these jeans. They have a high rise waist with just enough stretch to control tummy jiggle, the fabric is thick but soft and comfortable, and holds its shape without stretching out. I tried several other styles (Jag jeans, NYDJ, Levis 529 perfect waist), and found these to have the most flattering cut without looking like "mom jeans". My only wish is that the leg tapered to the ankle a bit more, but the leg length is good and they fit over cowgirl boots without looking awkward. I am 5'5", 115lbs with 36" hips and the 4 fits perfectly.

These fit great! Slim cut, but not TOO slim, and the medium length is surprisingly long enough. These are my go-to jeans now. And my order was shipped and delivered instantly. Knocked my socks off!

These are great jeans! Fit great in the waist. A bit higher so no "muffin top." Price point is awesome. Great value.

I love these jeans! They fit perfectly, don't bind and no waist gap. I am a short 5'3" tall with a 29" inseam. The length was perfect which, when you are short, is very hard to find. I now own five pairs and counting. Now if only they came in black.

Just got my first pair, tried them on and ordered another. They fit so well, nice jeans for a hourglass figure. Flattering without looking like mom jeans.

Great looking jeans. They're definitely vanity-sized...I ordered down by 2 sizes and they fit great. Legs are a bit long but easy enough to hem.

These jeans are a good lean alternative to sausage-skin-skinny-jeans, and they have useful pockets, and modesty where leggings won't do. The higher waistline is very comfortable, looks long-legged, not frumpy. I do wish they offered an inch or two more length. (For me, "cropped" is another word for high-waters, and that is frumpy.)

These are great jeans. It's so nice to wear comfortable and higher waisted jeans after all these years unattractive low waists. They don't even look good on most of the young people! The pants are a bit higher than I expected they come just a skidge below my belly button - right at the waist. The fit and fabric are nice and they are slimming!

Zappos delivered the product very promptly. However, the jeans shrunk one full size after washing which made them too tight. Also the cut of the legs was not 'straight' but slightly baggy. I've used Zappos before and find their service excellent. However, this product was not up to par.

I love these jeans. They fit me just perfectly, and really compliment my figure. I have had many compliments when wearing them. I bought 2 pairs, and am definitely going to buy a third pair.

I really like these jeans; actually, I love these jeans! I bought the Morning Light color & love the fabric content. They DO NOT stretch out after wearing, ever, no matter how long they're worn or sat in. Be sure to check the fabric content in the information section for the different colors as they are all different. Only negative is the front pockets are very small. I can live with that as the jeans are super comfortable. I now have 5 pair..gotta buy them when you find a pair that works! Sizing for me is true to size & no gaping at the back waist.
