The jeans fit well, matching the photo, and the size works for my 102 hip measurement. They are stretchy, and the waistband also stretches. It would be ideal to add a belt for reinforcement. I plan to sew a non-stretchy tape on the inside of the waistband to prevent it from stretching too much. The bottom hem is not sewn, just like in the picture. The side seams have been fixed to prevent unraveling. However, I specifically ordered warm, winter jeans, and these are regular jeans, which is disappointing.
