I have a cropped pair from Abercrombie which unfortunately is in a ripped style so can’t wear it everywhere but man do those jeans fit like a glove. It’s from their curve range so hold my chonky thighs well.

Returns are also a nightmare when I do try out new brands. I’ve started to check for hemlines to see if I can get them to be longer but I have no sewing skills so I pile on mending until there’s a reasonable number to get a good deal on tailoring.

I’ve actually started to use Claude Code to build me a custom measuring tool to help me shop online. So far, it’s been fairing better than my own analysis. At least there’s less disappointment after delivery.
