I really wanted to make these jeans work for me, but sadly, they just don't! I'm going to die in my millennial skinny jeans okay? I also lost some weight and they just feel too baggy on me. The photos clearly show the alterations including additional belt loops. I'm typically a size 10 right now so I think these would fit a true size 12 or 14, especially if you have bigger booty. Let me know if you have more questions on these! The alterations could easily be taken out, but if you're a pear shape, you might like them!
