For many years now, I have suffered from an incurable case of what can only be called jean envy. I see friends, family, colleagues, and strangers alike wearing the timeless classic, while I experiment with skirts and dresses, secretly wishing I too could pair slinky tops, sweaters, and even just a t-shirt with the unattainable denim dream.

Why am I so envious? Because in every attempt I've made to join the cult I was shunned by ill-fitted pairs that gaped at the waist, were too tight at the thighs, made everything look two sizes too big, and were too low to keep any slight bulges in. And so year after year, as flared styles were replaced by skinny jeans, I just resolved myself to a life of not fitting in – literally.

Yet, just as I was about to throw in the towel – the denim towel – I was introduced to a new brand of jeans – Tummy Tuck Jeans. As the name might suggest, these aren't jeans designed for the 14-18 age demographic, or for the metabolically fortunate size 0s. Designed for women with curves, but with the same sex appeal as any famous brand, this line of denim can cure even the most severe case of jean envy.

At first glance I was frightened, the jeans seemed more suited to my pre-chocolate self, but having tried almost every other brand created, I was up for the challenge. To my surprise the jeans slipped on with ease! A high waist that actually tapers in is what makes the jeans appear small and fixes what so many other pair of jeans fail to notice: that women actually have a waist! Flat bottom syndrome, which every "mother" pair is notorious for, is cured with a slight lift and perk at the back. Even a straight and slightly tapered leg style – which can result in an unfortunate carrot-like look – works well in a looser cut and dark wash. Finally I fit in -- in jeans that actually fit!
