For twelve years I've been "off" jeans. My apple shaped body is even more noticeable because I'm only 5'1" tall! But I have pretty good legs. Since I'm losing weight, I hate to spend a lot of money of more clothes right now - I shop at Walmart guilt free because practically everything there is $9.99! Totally fits my budget! They have several different kinds of stretchy jeans that also come in different lengths - petite, average, tall. I think they are $14.99. Also, some of them have pockets and side stitching up and down the legs so they don't really look like stretchy jeans if you don't like that seamless look. Good luck!

P.S. I can't wait to have some custom jeans made for me when I'm at my goal weight!! That sounds great!
