Curvy

Three curvy silhouettes in the Curvy Bella Stretch line. The Curvy Bella Stretch Straight Jeans deliver a classic high-rise straight cut with a fuller hip-to-waist ratio. The Curvy Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans offer the same high-rise curvy fit with a more easygoing straight leg. The Curvy Bella Stretch Wide Leg Jeans (30" inseam) take the curvy fit into a wider silhouette for '70s-inspired styling. All three use organic-cotton super-stretch denim — flexible fit, soft hand-feel, and shape-retention through wear.

A curvy-fit jean has a fuller hip-to-waist ratio — more room through the hip and seat relative to the waist — to fit curvier body types without gaping at the back of the waistband. Quince's Curvy Bella Stretch line uses the same high-rise and organic-cotton super-stretch denim as the standard Bella Stretch line, but with this proportional adjustment to flatter a fuller hip. The leg shape (straight, relaxed straight, wide leg) is the same in both fits — only the hip-to-waist proportion changes.

Most run true to size with the curvy-fit proportions cutting through the hip and seat. The high-rise sits at the natural waist. The organic-cotton super-stretch denim gives a curve-hugging line that doesn't dig in or bag out. The Curvy Wide Leg comes in a 30" inseam. If you're between sizes, the stretch typically lets the smaller size work; if you're carrying more in the seat, the curvy fit is built to accommodate without sizing up at the waist.

Machine wash cold inside-out on a gentle cycle to preserve color and stretch. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry — high heat shrinks stretch denim and reduces elasticity over time. Stretch denim relaxes about a size after wear and tightens back up after washing — that "broken in" feel is normal and reverses with each wash.
