I love bootcut jeans with a little stretch. I can't find any that don't get all stretched out and baggy within a few hours of putting them on. My go to jeans used to be Old Navy but they stretch super fast now. I bought some Levis from Kohls because the reviews stated they didn't stretch out. Wrong! They are awful. So please ladies, help a girl out. I have lost 80 pounds and am down to size 14-16 now and love the way my bootie looks in a pair of nice fitting jeans, I just need to find some that fit for more than an hour or two. smiley

Wish I could help.... but I have the same issue!  The Spandex it the culprit, I think!!  I have lost enough now to get back into one of my fav pairs of jeans.  Oddly enough, I got them at Target - but it was like 4 years ago!  Good luck!!  If you find any, please share!

I always had luck at Walmart. They have lee riders and faded glory. I was a 16 /18. I now Macy's has some good jeans as well. Good luck)

Gap Curvy, Gap bootcut, and American Eagle vintage flare AND  American Eagle favorite boyfriend ALL fit great and don't sag on my butt at all if I buy the right size. My advice is to go in the store to try them on first and then you can just do like me and look for deals on Ebay. I have gotten brand new jeans or jeans only worn a couple of times on Ebay for great prices, way cheaper than retail. I know they have 14-16 in those brands, especially on Ebay.

I've heard good things about the fit of their jeans.

I like wearing CJ Banks or Christopher Banks jeans.  I did just buy a pair of Lee jeans from K-mart that I like also.

Old Navy works for me, but my favorite is the Eddie Bauer ones.

Seconding Eddie Bauer. If you can find a pair that fit you well you should be good; I've never had a problem with Eddie Bauer jeans getting baggy. 

I have a basement but don't dwell in it full time.

Look for 2 percent spandex.  It totally made a difference for me.  I find decent options at thrift stores all the time.

I love the jeans from Torrid.  The aren't super low rise, and have just enough stretch to be comfy and flattering, but not so much that you get saggy-butt a few hours into your day.  They also come in different lengths, which is great!
