Extremely UNtrendy person alert!
I'm in that weird area between regular size and plus size. I can buy things from either, albeit higher sizes of misses and lower plus.
That said, I love Levis and Lee jeans...I also like Venezia jeans from Lane Bryant. But the most comfortable and consistently good-fitting jeans for me, oddly enough, are Genuine Sonoma Jeans Company, the store brand from Kohl's. Plus they're cheap.
