Levi Jeans and measuring

I am a bit dense confused about how you know your size without tactually trying on Levis.

I am ordinarily a size 10. At my smallest part of my waist I measure a 28", on my hips I measure between 33 and 34". I am a 30" leg.

I really want to get a pair of straight leg levis (570) which are low riders so sit lower and the front rise is around 7 to 8cm. So what waist do I look for? Do you go with your actual waist measurement? or the waist of the jeans and where they will sit?

    Levis are the jeans of the devil, I have never, ever, managed to find a pair to fit me. Even when I was a size 8 during my teens and early 20's I couldn't get any, now I'm a size 12 I have given up all hope.

    I ended up taking back so many pairs because I bought them because they were my size (ie. hip, waist, inside leg) and they just didn't fit. I think I must be an odd shape because I can't buy jeans without trying on about 15 pairs to see which fit.

    To answer your question, I have no idea, sorry! Is trying them on not an option?

    I decided before christmas I really wanted a pair, went in to a levi store in Cape Town, eventually found the pair I like but they didn't have anything near my size so I decided to look online when we got home. There may well be a store in Cambridge (the largest town to us) but getting there and parking and trying on jeans with 2 kids in tow would be a nightmare!

    Guess I will have to

    Good luck!

    Maybe someone will come along later who is far more helpful than I've been...?
